- Get a written quote and keep guarantee, insurance and payment terms in writing.
- Run the Cowboy Checker before you commit to anyone.

How to judge a carpenter / joiner
Independent, no-ads guidance — the trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each trader’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Check for TrustMark, Which? Trusted Traders, or Buy With Confidence membership — these schemes require confirmed insurance, references, and Trading Standards vetting.
- For window or external door fitting, verify the carpenter is FENSA or CERTASS registered, so work is self-certified compliant with Building Regulations.
- For fire-door work specifically, look for BWF Fire Door Alliance or BM TRADA Q-Mark certification — this is a life-safety job requiring specialist training.
- Ask to see a portfolio of comparable finished jobs — bespoke furniture, stairs, or heritage joinery can only be judged by seeing past work.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- Asks for a large cash deposit upfront with no written contract — advance-deposit fraud is the most common rogue-trader pattern in carpentry.
- No mention of public liability insurance and no scheme membership badges — there is no statutory licence, so accreditation is the only external check.
- Vague verbal quote with no itemised written specification — day-rate work without a fixed scope routinely overruns.
- Claims fire-door or listed-building experience but cannot name the qualification or scheme they hold.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Are you TrustMark, Which? Trusted Traders, or Buy With Confidence registered, and can I verify that online?
- Does my job require Building Regulations notification, and if so, are you FENSA, CERTASS, or BWF Fire Door Alliance certified to self-certify it?
- Can you give me a written, itemised quote with a fixed price rather than a day rate?
- Can I see photos or references from a similar job you have completed in the last 12 months?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy carpenter / joiner?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile — how many independent reviews they have and across how many named platforms, the rating and how recent it is, any verified credentials, and the company record. A carpenter / joiner backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one with a single listing.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend carpenters / joiners for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Carpenters / joiners are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence — no one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review platforms and always shown with the source named — they aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a carpenter / joiner?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the carpenter / joiner, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence — it doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
