Very pleased with the work carried out by Richard. Kitchen cupboard fitted around a boiler which was not a standard fit and had kitchen worktops sanded down. Richard was great in offering advice and options on both jobs. Would highly recommend him for carpentry jobs.

Detailed reviews
Rich has completed a lot of jobs at our property over the last few months (fitting of new doors, replacing rim locks, building internal storage (wardrobes and cupboards), refitting/ building of alcove units and shelving. He has been great and would recommend no problem. He is polite, friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. He is clean and tidy and was really accommodating- working around a lot of other contractors also at the house and a slightly nuts personal schedule. Thank you Rich!
Rich came and did a few jobs for us and he was super professional, friendly and the quality of the work is exceptional. Turned upon time and always tidied up before he left for the day. Highly recommend.

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.
