Paid a £10 an hour extra for the Saturday and last minute but have to say really worth it. Could have started central for the Panel so both sides were even but left side of wall was out. Overall really happy with the work. 10/10 effort. Nice, polite and punctual." > Source: Alec S (5.0, via Checkatrade) ## Trades Carpenter / joiner ## Services they list _Listed on public sources or the business's own website; check directly that they cover your job before you book:_ - Architraves - Bespoke Furniture - Built In Furniture - Cabinet Makers / Handmade Furniture - Cupboards - Door Fitting / Hanging - General Carpentry - Handmade Kitchens Designed / Installed - Joinery - Radiator Covers - Skirting - Wooden / Timber Structures ## Areas covered _Towns and areas this trader lists serving.
