“I had a custom banquette made by Jay and couldn’t be happier with the result. The craftsmanship is excellent, and it fits the space perfectly—both functional and stylish. Jay was extremely professional, friendly, and easy to work with. He listened to my ideas, offered helpful suggestions, and made sure everything was clean and tidy when the job was done. You can really see the care and attention to detail in his work. I would highly recommend Jay Davey Carpentry and will definitely be using him again for future projects.”

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.

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.
