Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 7 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Built three sets of alcove shelves and cupboards from scratch, as well as new door for under the stairs cupboard and a radiator cover. It is all of excellent quality, exactly what we asked for and has transformed the living room. Strongly recommend!
Ion is clearly a very skilled carpenter and conscientious professional. He replaced three inner doors in our house, fixed one salvageable door and installed a new handle, and helped me with a couple of other snag list items. The new doors are installed perfectly and it took a lot of finessing as we have a wonky house! I think it was very reasonably priced given the work involved, and Ion was very courteous, clearly works hard and is a perfectionist. He was also happy to advise me on varnishing and other questions I had! Thanks Ion.
I wholeheartedly recommend Ion and his team. If Ihave further joinery / carpentary work to do they will be my first call. Ion works precisely, with great care and to high standard. He does what he says he will do and more. He ia very skilled and can see very clearly what needs to be done. Your in safe hands. He is also great at the things that sometimes lets down other: turns up when he says he will, makes good afterwards, respects your property.

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.
