Highlights
"Steve has converted our garage into a gym. He was reliable, friendly, and completed the works to a brilliant standard. We are thrilled with it and would use him again, and thoroughly recommend."
"Steve is brilliant. This is the second job he has completed for us creating bespoke cupboards and on both occasions we're really pleased with the quality of the workmanship, materials and professionalism. On the latest project, he built a bespoke bookcase/ media unit and took time to visit us and understand our needs which meant the final result was well proportioned and was exactly what we were after. Fairly priced, good communication, reliable, trustworthy and lovely to deal with. Would highly recommend!"

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.
