“I wanted a media unit in my alcove and wasn't able to get anything to fit. Thankfully First Choice Carpentry was able to help build something to fit the awkward space. They were great from suggesting layout to choice of finish etc. I'm really happy with the finish and they were professional throughout, turned up when they said they would and cleaned up afterwards. Will definitely be calling them again for my next mad idea !”

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

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.
