I can't recommend A B Carpentry and Building Ltd enough. Andrew understood the plans exactly and the end result is great. He and his team were spot on.
I contacted AB Carpentry for a quote to replace some kitchen units. He said he would come round on a certain day but didn't turn up. He is based within a few hundred yards from my house. I phoned to check if he was coming at all, and left a message. Since then no reply. If he was too busy or didn't want to do the job, he just had to say

Before you hire a builder
Never 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.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
