Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for SFB Carpentry & Building Ltd, including the highlights above. The 21 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
We recently hired SFB to complete a renovation in our home, which included knocking down a wall, installing a structural beam, remaking the ceiling, plastering, and updating the electrical work. From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and highly skilled. Overall, Salvatore and his team exceeded our expectations with high-quality workmanship and clear communication throughout the project. We’re delighted with the transformation they achieved in our home and would not hesitate to recommend them!
Amazing work, carried out to a brilliant standard. Always on time, very friendly. Nothing too much trouble. Always left the rooms clean and tidy Couldent have wished for anyone better to fit my kitchen. Would definitely use again. All aspects of work under taken. If you want any building work etc doing this is your guy.
All work completed as described, Salvatore was reliable, honest and everything was done as expected.

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.
