## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "This was a very positive experience. The design of the fitted furniture was discussed and agreed with one home visit, followed by a clear invoice and time scale. The work was carried out as planned, all clean & tidy with no delays. The standard of workmanship is second to none with all joints and finishes beautifully done. It is so lovely to have units made of solid wood and I would recommend this craftsman for any carpentry requirements."

## 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.
