Highlights
“Will installed a new staircase for us. So pleased we went with him. We had spoken to several carpenters and stair companies but Will came forward with good advice on the options available to us. He is very reliable and thorough, hard working and a lovely chap. Throughout I have had complete confidence in Will and have no hesitation in recommending him.”
“William and his assistant Harvey fitted some bespoke built-in cupboards/shelves either side of our fireplace, along with some under-stairs storage including a desk and fixing some creaking in our stairs. We are so happy with the result, it was exactly what we asked for and we've already had so many compliments. They were also very efficient and tidied up after themselves, the work was finished within the time they gave us and a very reasonable price too. We'll be recommending them to friends and family for sure!”

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.
