Highlights
“Frazer did a great job on my loft conversion in Brighton. The work was completed on time and in budget. He’s conscientious and clearly takes pride in his work. Communication was very good and any issues I had were dealt with quickly and without fuss. Can definitely recommend!”
“I’ve worked with Frazer on several projects and he has consistently delivered excellent results. He did a fantastic job rendering our walls and installing bespoke wardrobes in our main bedroom. Communication was clear throughout, he was professional at all times, and the standard of workmanship was excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.”
“I had FT carpentry complete a loft conversion and install underfloor heating in my kitchen, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Their workmanship is absolutely fantastic — everything was completed to a very high standard with real attention to detail. The team was professional, friendly, and always took the time to clearly explain what they were doing at each stage of the project. It made the whole process feel transparent and stress-free. They were also very competitively priced, especially considering the quality of their work. I would highly recommend Frazer and his team.”

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.

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.
