Highlights
"Brickwork and plastering looks 10/10 really happy with the work and cleaned up afterwards"
"Ian made an excellent job of replacing our up-and-over garage door with a wall with pebbledash rendering, also with a window. The price was very reasonable and the job was done and completed over a couple of days, exactly when he said he would do it. I would certainly recommend Ian for building work."

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?
