“Our experience of Gary and the team was superb. They converted our loft into a large spare bedroom / yoga room / office / TV room, including putting in two dormers. I'd highlight three strengths: (a) their drive in getting the job done, making huge strides on the project every week rather than (as our experience with other builders!) going in stops and starts; (b) their flexibility when new issues came up during the build, finding pragmatic solutions within our budget; and (c) the quality of their workmanship, with the loft now being the best room in the house. We'd 100% recommend them.”

Highlights
“Gary and his team were always helpful, polite, professional and on time. We were fairly challenging clients, changing our minds on a number of occasions. Gary coped with these changes and was able to advise and guide us on those decisions. While Elm Carpentry & Construction were doing a general construction project for us (complete house renovation) I sincerely believe that their carpentry specialism gives them the edge. Any issues (which there will always be on a project like ours - it is a hundred year old plus house) Gary communicated well and just ‘dealt’ with it. Top job Gary!”
“Gary was engaged by my daughter and son-in-law to bring back to life an old neglected house in Farnham. As part of that renovation he and his team rebuilt an end single-storey room, which I paid for. The end result speaks for itself ……. very well constructed and fit for purpose. Everyone is pleased with the result ……… and I would recommend Elm Tree Carpentry to anyone contemplating such a project.”

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.

Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
