Highlights
"Very happy we decided to go with Sam! The media wall is exactly how I wanted it to turn out. Made the process very smooth sailing – he was punctual, easy to communicate with and it was simple to arrange times that worked. The price was very reasonable for the work done and the quality is great. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to have any similar work done."
"Sam was very professional polite and done a brilliant job"

Very happy we decided to go with Sam! The media wall is exactly how I wanted it to turn out. Made the process very smooth sailing – he was punctual, easy to communicate with and it was simple to arrange times that worked. The price was very reasonable for the work done and the quality is great. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to have any similar work done.
The job was to trim 2 doors.. First door wasn't taken off, he filed it which ended up with the carpet being stained now having to bleach it.. second door was took off and laid outside the house on the concrete which took patches of paint off the door and the door frame.. Showed the damage which we now have to fix.. I paid him he said the filings from the door which is brown wouldn't stain but it has.. Yes he offered to sand the door but I would then still have to get it painted.. There was nothing wrong with the door to begin with..
Sam was very professional polite and done a brilliant job

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.
