Highlights
“Great service, excellent communication. Great managing of the site too. Tidy and professional. Will definitely use Fernie Building Services again. It was the first time working with them. They handled things so well from the estimate to completion.”
“Aleks was great. He turned up on time, and called ahead to check the time was ok, to take a look at the job and provide a quote. Then, on day 1 of the job, he again arrived on time, having checked in with me the day before. Throughout the whole process he's been super enthusiastic, explained everything really clearly and was respectful of my home and dog. The other trades that he worked with were also great and nothing was too much trouble (including a last-minute extra request from me). I'd definitely look to hire Aleks again and highly recommend.”
“Alex helped me out so much, he told me that my stairs needed some strong glue to stop the squeaking noises for Lemy stairs I would definitely recommend Alex as he’s such a gentleman, once gain Alex thank you so much for your help.”

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.

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.
