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."

## 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.
