Highlights
"I had a pergola roof that had collapsed it was best to start again id had a few other quotes for just the basic but the garden works quote included proper roof felt roofing guttering and slimline water butt and for a very good price they've done an excellent job and would have them again for any jobs that might need doing in the future"
"Checkatrade sent my job to three companies and Lewis from TGW responded within minutes. We talked about the job, to refelt a garden room roof, and an estimate followed quickly. Another company also responded, but Lewis's quote was the winner. He kept in touch about when he and Liam would turn up to do the work, the weather being an issue. On the first dry day they arrived and set to. A little over two hours later we had a superbly weatherproofed roof and a tidy work site. I can't recommend this company enough."
"Brilliant guys. Quick to quote and the work was completed within the week. Helped us out with some other stuff around the house for a small additional cost. Always felt like they had our best interests in mind. Would absolutely employ them again and heartily recommend them."

Smart checks
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.
