Highlights
“Guys were busy so I had to wait a while for them to start but it was worth the wait. They were always punctual and communicated if they were getting supplies and the once when they were viewing another local job. They replaced all my soffits, guttering and did several other repairs around a four bed detached property. Couldn’t be happier with the standard of the work, even my neighbour commented on what a fabulous job they had done.”
“Both tradesmen were professional and very tidy whilst working. They were willing to accommodate changes to agreed design. Their work is second to none . Would definitely recommend this company.”
“The company was chosen as it had previously undertaken work in installing a new bathroom and ensuite at the same property. On all three occasions they were very professional turning up promptly when they said they would and informing us when they could not. They completed the job from start to finish including hiring of all of the contractors including electricians and plumbers; all of which showed the same professionalism and attention to detail as the main contractors. Probert and Mumford were an excellent team demonstrating excellent skills in carpentry and plastering.”

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.
