“Every task was completed on time and to a high standard. More tasks were added throughout the job and Jonathan was very happy to accommodate. He was also very flexible on pricing to make sure we kept within our budget. Was incredibly helpful to have on site as was able to offer advice and brought a wide skill set that included bespoke cabinets, general joinery, renovation and garden decking. Wouldn't hesitate to hire again and couldn't recommend more!”

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
“Very impressed by Refined Trades. Initially asked them to change the hinges round on a door. A job they did quickly. Then discussed with them a conundrum of building a fitted wardrobe in our loft. They were knowledgable, gave good advice and built a beautiful, fitted wardrobe out of birch plywood. The team then decorated the loft to a high standard. Very happy with their punctuality, cost and workmanship.”
“This is the second time Jonathan has done some work for us. He responds quickly to emails. Arrives and completes on time. Is value for money. Job done exactly to spec with minimum fuss.”

Every task was completed on time and to a high standard. More tasks were added throughout the job and Jonathan was very happy to accommodate. He was also very flexible on pricing to make sure we kept within our budget. Was incredibly helpful to have on site as was able to offer advice and brought a wide skill set that included bespoke cabinets, general joinery, renovation and garden decking. Wouldn't hesitate to hire again and couldn't recommend more!
