Joiner turned up on time, took the doors outside to trim, cleaned them before bringing them back inside to hang and adjust for a perfect fit. Great job" > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "Croft Building and Joinery contractors are my 'number one' builders to go to and I'd rather wait til they are free, than look elsewhere. If I could give a score of more than 10, I would. I have subjected them to many problems during my many projects and they have been professionally solved every time. The team are always pleasant, punctual and leave every job clean and tidy. My garage looked derelict before the work and now looks amazing. They take care in doing a good job and leaving the customer happy. I have used Croft Building for many years and will continue to do so for years to come." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "Des has done work on multiple projects for me now and been involved in the construction industry myself I have worked with many contractors. I can go honestly state that Des and his team offers a very high standard of workmanship and Des is very particular in ensuring that the works are completed to a very high standard and I can therefore make a very high recommendation for this company." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) ## Trades Builder ## Areas covered _Towns and areas this trader lists serving.

Where we hold a date, the check shows it. ## Before you hire a builder _What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_ - Never 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. - Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact. - Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current. ## Contact - Phone: 07307 212459 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/croft-building-joinery-contractors-limited-2 Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source and is cross-checked.
