Highlights
"We have used Steve before for other work on our property and called on him again to fix the damp issue we had. Once again I can’t fault his workmanship, and professionalism for detail, nothing is to much trouble for him. And once again we are so pleased with the final results. I would recommend Steve for any building work."
"Steve was very professional, helpful and advisable. He’s work was excellent and he kept me informed of its progress constantly. We were very pleased with the results. I would recommend Steve for any building work"
"We called on Steve to help us with surveyors report on our property concerning the removal of a chimney stack and to install purlins to support one side of the roof structure. Nothing was to much trouble for him, a very friendly and accommodating man. His work was excellent keeping me updated regularly with its progress. I would highly recommend Steve for you building requirements."

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.
