“Smiley Carpentry did major structural work on my house, including multiple steels installation, upto 6m wide. Reliable, friendly, and skilled, they were great from start to finish. The team were friendly and the work was completed to a good standard. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”

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
“We’re really happy with the completed garage conversion. The work was finished on time and disruption was kept to a minimum — they made sure we could still access appliances like the washing machine whenever needed. Communication was very good throughout, keeping us informed about progress and when other contractors would be on site. Everyone involved was friendly, professional, and did a great job. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”
“I recently had a loft conversion completed by Gavin, Emily & Team from Smiley Carpentry. The experience has been very smooth, professional and the quality of work has been excellent throughout. Gavin has a great team behind him all of whom did an excellent job and were a pleasure to have around during the works. The work was done (bar some odds and ends) entirely within the original agreed timeframe and all with excellent communication with myself, as well as on resolving and adding any additional work to the original plan. Highly recommend Gavin and his team, great work and great people!”

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.
