Stu from Benchmark installations is a superlative craftsman joiner and builder. I got to know Stu well as he did so much work for us and call him Stufix as any project I asked him to do was completed with the utmost skill and care. He has done the rafters for all our extension, new joists and floors for our sun room and garage conversion, rebuilt our rotten floors and walls in the bathroom, did the knock through and steel beam for the new kitchen. Fitted the kitchen which had some very tricky corners to dovetail together, new oak doors and frames his work is faultless and stupendous.

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.

Detailed reviews
Fantastic service, communicated with at all times. Initially contracted for kitchen fitting but on realising quality of work had wood flooring laid, full architrave and door replacements, loft hatch and full office fitment. A bespoke bookcase and separate media wall were then commissioned and the quality of these are exceptional. To say a pride is taken in the work is an understatement. Benchmark Installations go above and beyond and are professional as well as a pleasure to deal with and I do not hesitate in recommending their services.

Official checkOn the public register
Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 11 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.
