“Jay had previously completed a job for me and I decided to ask him to complete another due to the high quality of his work. I asked Jay to fit a new staircase to modernise the hallway and he did a perfect job! Attention to detail was excellent and I am really pleased with the final outcome!”

Highlights
“Jay came to fit my bathroom for me and he always made sure everything was done to the absolute highest quality. I’m so happy with the end result and, with it being my first ever home, it was great to have someone who was highly reliable and had great attention to detail. I was really impressed to see that Jay always left his workspace as clean and tidy as he found it and I highly recommend him. I will have Jay for future jobs.”
“Great job completed. Replaced 4 internal doors which have transformed the landing area. Will 100% be keeping his number for future work.”

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.
