“I am delighted with the work on the staircase! ADS carpentry fitted new spindles and banister rails to a very high standard of craftsmanship. They have now been varnished to present them at their best! It has really transformed the appearance of my hallway and landing area. Family and friends have also commented on the very good quality of the work. ADS carpentry is a business that you can rely on and communication with them was, and is, always reliable and pleasant. A great personable service. I'm really happy with their quality work. I will definitely use ADS again. Thank you!”

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.

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.
