Anonymous5.0 / 5 ·

HMJ are a delight to work with. Punctual, professional, reliable and delivers on high quality work! After our first job with HMJ, we have returned on a number of occasions for various home and commercial improvements ranging small to large. Harrison in particular is highly professional and friendly. I highly recommend using Harrison and HMJ.

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 register
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.
