Highlights
“We called Steve in to undertake repairs to our early victorian staircase and to create a custom skirting board profile to match the original 1840s board. The staircase case repair was to fix a very wobbly cluster newel, refix some loose spindles and to make good a couple of sections of veneer. Fixing the newel was a tricky job but Steve was able to do it and was careful to retain the original character of the staircase case. He created a profile for the replacement skirting board which is a really good match to the original. He is a skilled craftsman who takes pride in his work.”
“Steve is a true professional. Owing to a bad water leak we needed a new kitchen, kitchen floor and conservatory floor fitted, including sub-floors. The work was completed to time and to cost. Steve has a very reasonable price for labour and kept us updated on running costs for materials. He worked very hard to bring the whole project together and even finished the job off with a new, lovingly crafted threshold to transition from conservatory to kitchen. I can't recommend Steve highly enough and will definitely use him again for any future works.”

Worth checking yourself

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.
