“Allan took down an old shed for us and in place built a soundproofed garden room. Allan and his other contractors were all a pleasure to have around and did a great job on the build. The work was carried out to a high standard and done within the timeframe he had said as well as exactly to the quote he gave us before starting the work. I would happily hire Allan for future work and would recommend him to anyone looking to have work done.”

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.

Highlights
“I can’t recommend Allan and his team highly enough. From start to finish, the quotation through to the completed job, everything was handled brilliantly. Allan is very friendly and approachable, kept us well informed at every stage of the job and completed the work amazingly quickly and to an exemplary standard. We’re so pleased with the work and will definitely be contacting Allan again for any future jobs.”
Detailed reviews
We are currently seeking advice from trading standards about Allan Paggett’s workmanship. He fitted wardrobes in our bedroom, however, the doors would not close and open. Very shortly (days) after he then ‘finished’ the job, one of the doors fell on me when I was 9 months pregnant. The doors no longer work. Allan took the full cost of the work from us and has never returned our numerous attempts to contact him (since May 2023) via email, text, letter and call. Avoid.

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.
