Highlights
"Total Property Maintenance did an annual pond maintenance which involved a part-draining and clean up of our pond."
"Sam and his team are very reliable, responsive and provide good advise on what it’s suitable for your garden he did my own garden a year ago and did mum’s garden too as she really liked the impeccable work he did in our outdoor space. At mum’s he has done both back and front garden, the transformation is amazing, some of mum’s neighbours have being so impressed with his work that have asked us for his details as they would like Sam to do their own gardens too. I would highly recommend Sam and his team. Your outdoor spaces will look as amazing as ours do now. Thank you Sam. Jocelyn."
"Sam and his team did some tree work today and did a great job. He is always on time, communicates well, does a good job and always tidies up at the end. He has done various jobs for me in the past including garden maintenance and patio restoration, and has always provided a good service."

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.
