Highlights
"Ryan was able to fit us in last minute for a repair job to our front wall. He came prepared and ready to go and completed the work quickly, efficiently and to a high standard. Having collected a few quotes, his was the most reasonable and transparent. He also tidied up afterwards. Overall, great job and would definitely use again! Thank you!"
"Ryan did a fantastic job rebuilding a damaged brick wall in our garden. Arrived promptly, very polite and friendly, and left everything clean and tidy. Fair price for the work, we are very happy with the outcome. Would definitely recommend."
"Ryan was excellent at repointing our chimney for us. He was the first to reach out to my trade request through Checkatrade, followed up quickly with a fair quote and came out quickly for the job. Arrived on time, was polite, friendly and cleared up everything once the job was completed. Would highly recommend!"

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
