I ordered a decorative screen for my garage base (to close a gap), but was not sure of the best way for this to be set up and fitted. Matt came out to take a look at this and suggested using two posts to fix the screen, he would make a surround for the screen with a third, whilst still allowing sufficient access for the garage gutter pipe. On the day, Matt arrived promptly and did an absolutely amazing job. What he suggested worked perfectly, and his attention to detail is excellent. I'm delighted with the end result which has already received a number of compliments!
Matt and the team did a ~4meter rear extension at ours. The works were all completed to a perfect standard, and we are really happy with the finished product. Matt & his team were also really pleasant to have around the house and completely trustworthy in terms of letting themselves in and cleaned up well every day (especially important for us as we had a newborn whilst the build was ongoing).
I needed a new garage side door and door surround, as the old door had rotted in places and was coming off the hinges.. Matt did an absolutely amazing job of fitting a new wooden door surround, wooden door, door handle and lock. He was prompt and his attention to detail is excellent. Absolutely delighted with the end result and would definitely use again.

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.
