Highlights
"Recently bought a house to renovate. The boys helped from start to finish. Advising on what was best and doing the work to a high standard. Very friendly and easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend."
"Clean and professional work carried out by the boys. Happy with the work. Would definitely recommend"
"Sam recently redesigned and decorated my living room, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the result. From start to finish, he was professional, reliable and incredibly thorough. He really listened to what I wanted, offered great suggestions, and the finished room looks even better than I imagined. When my boiler broke down during the work. He was thoughtful, practical and went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled properly and safely."

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.
