Highlights
"We are delighted with the work by Talbot & Sons. From quote to completion, the process was smooth and professional. Jim and his team created a safe room separation that met fire safety, health and safety, and building regulations. They worked quickly, efficiently, and kept the area clean. The build has transformed our space, enhancing opportunities for pupils. We’re so impressed we’ve already requested further quotes for future developments."
"From my first meeting with Jim I found him to be extremely friendly, professional and provided with help and advice on which front door I wanted to choose I received a competitive quote in a timely fashion with an accurate timeframe for when the work would be completed On the day of installation the work was started on time and carried out with exceptionally tidy workmanship and super fast precision. I am over the moon with my new front door and would highly recommend Talbot and Sons and will be contacting them again in the future."
"Jim and his team fitted my kitchen removed walls and installed new doors to my property. All this work was done in the anticipated time with Jim and his staff being extremely polite, tidy and processional during all the works. My wife and I would highly recommend Talbot and sons to anyone thinking about getting work done."

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.
