“Engaged Alex from AC Carpentry to install skirting on our ground floor after previous workman botched it. Alex did an excellent job of either replacing or repairing the shoddy work and we are delighted with the result. He also fitted our new fire surround for our wood burner. He was a pleasure to have around, friendly and efficient at his work. Left everything clean and neat when he finished. Very fairly priced. We have already asked him to come back and do further jobs for us and we he will be our first call when we need any work in future. Thank you Alex and see you soon :)”

Highlights
“Alex did a fantastic job installing a new oak staircase to replace a rather boring and dated 1960's one. His attention to detail was excellent and I could not fault the workmanship. I would recommend the company to friends and use them again without doubt. Thank you AC's Carpentry services.”
“It is rare to find such outstanding workmanship and attention to detail, which makes Alex an exemplary Craftsman. I would recommend Alex because he combines modesty, quality and enthusiasm. I don't meet many people like Alex.”

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever 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.
