Highlights
“Matt has carried out work for us previously on many occasions (internal doors, wall panelling, alcove cupboards & shelves, skirting boards and oak beams over fireplaces) Our most recent work was shelving and as always the work was carried out brilliantly and to an exceptional standard. Nothing is too much trouble for Matt and it is very clear he takes great pride in his work. Matt is polite, tidy, professional and knows exactly the look we want to achieve. His advice is always welcome. Very good prices too. Thankyou Matt”

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.
