hi all, sorry i was googling the company i wanted to use after my neighbour put some doubt in my head, he mentioned hes never know a builder to not have a current job on, so i guess he could be between jobs, i found him on website where customer leave reviews etc and hes quite local to me, i will try today to visit one of his jobs that he has done before and ask them . i did some more googling on the company name and noticed this on gov website

You must never use a builder from one of those sites Checkatrade etc, always use a recommended builder. You get Building Regs drawings to show the builder exactly what to price and build, they form the basis of your contract. The forum is littered with many a disastrous thread where the builder's been chosen from one of those sites or they have no regs drawings.
