Ask your neighbours if they used any and then have a look at their work, but more important dont always go for the lowest quote ;)

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .. just walk into ANY english bar with more than 3 customers in it and i garentee that you´ll find at least 75% of them are builders!!!!! ...one will be the barmaid ;)

on a more serious note.. i would recomend anyone you know refering a builder to you.

Unfortunately where we are moving there are no English bars although we did visit one in a neighbouring village while on hols recently but it seems that rrecommendationis the best way to avoid cowboys.
