Highlights
“Job completed quickly to a high standard, everything was perfect. Things were left clean and tidy and both carpenters were friendly and professional. Excellent service, I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“Exceptionally pleased with Gary and the work carried out at my property. I had a built in wardrobe built by him and he rehung the doors to my property. I found Gary reliable and polite and would certainly recommend him.”
“Gary and his team replaced a very old and dangerous banister for us. They were excellent from the initial attendance to quote for the job to completing the work. The banister itself looks fantastic and I only wish we'd done it sooner as it really lifts the look of the hall, stairs and landing. The team were friendly, polite and professional and also tidied up as they went. They were also very engaging, showing me what they were doing and the tools of the trade. They did an excellent job and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.”

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.

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.
