Highlights
"Had Robert back to add some ballustrade to my decking. It’s always a pleasure to have him over and no job stresses him out. He adapted the decking he’d previously laid to add the ballustrade (I only decided after he’d finished the decking it needed balustrade) perfectly. This company are always friendly, reliable, do a very professional job and won’t rip you off either as their prices are very reasonable. If you want a garden transformation I’d definitely recommend them."
"Very prompt and kept informed. Good quality work"
"Superb in every way - communication tuned up when he said he would came in under budget and very happy with quality of work."

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.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
