Highlights
"Alan removed the tiles from our front door step and rebuilt it, widening the step in the process. We were very happy with the quality of his work, and he was professional throughout with quick email responses."
"Alan responded and visited to assess the job quickly, talked us through the options and sent quotes promptly. He started the job within days, managed our expectations well. The job needed dry weather, and Alan made great use of some short bursts of dry weather here and there to get started and then got the job done very quixklt as soon as we had a dry couple of days. We are delighted with the result. Alan is delightful to work with and takes great pride and care in his work, and is clearly an expert! Highly recommended."
"Alan repaired front brick wall to garden. The work was completed to an excellent standard . He left everything clean and tidy once he’d finished. Would definitely recommend and use again."

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.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
Run the Cowboy Checker on The Brick Doctor before you contact them.
