Highlights
"Stew did a superb job sorting out the fire doors in our HMO"
"Stu and Kim completed several jobs for us including fitting new oak doors throughout the house, building fitted alcove shelving, and converting part of our garage into a utility room with a partition wall, insulation and raised flooring. They took great care with the work and the finish is exactly as we’d hoped. Communication was excellent throughout and they were reliable, tidy and clearly take pride in what they do. Very happy with the results and would happily recommend them."
"Stew was very good in sorting out the problems we had with the fire doors in our HMO. I can highly recommend him"

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.
