Harvey and Matt were great throughout. Their communication was excellent and included a visit to my house to discuss, advise and agree the exact requirements. When conducting the work, their attention to detail and craftsmanship were excellent and we are delighted with the outcome. They are also very polite and extremely clean and tidy. We would most definitely recommend them for any domestic carpentry or joinery project.

Harvey fitted a pair of doors between dining room & conservatory, really pleased with finished job exactly as I visualised very professional left everything clean & tidy.
I recently hired HM Carpentry & Building to complete some carpentry work in my property, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Harvey fitted four new internal doors including all linings and installed all the skirting boards and architrave throughout the house. The standard of his work is excellent. Everything is finished perfectly and looks very professional. I would definitely recommend HM Carpentry & Building for any carpentry needs. A truly superb and professional service.

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.
