Highlights
"Stephen built my extension and also pointed the main house over the winter. What a grafter. Did a brilliant job and even diagnosed a few hidden problems for me that I didnt even know about. Despite the weather working against him he was here most days and did a fantastic job throughout. I'd have no hesitation in recommending him to others and will be using him again for more work I have planned. Top bloke"
"Great communication, work done promptly and to good standard, and at a fair price. Would recommend."
"Excellent work from start to finish, Stephen supported us throughout the process of taking out and installing our new bathroom. Tiling work, stud walls, cladded ceiling, flooring and bathroom all fitted and completed to the highest standard. Attention to detail and smooth process, thank you"

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.
