Highlights
"Will installed a new staircase for us. So pleased we went with him. We had spoken to several carpenters and stair companies but Will came forward with good advice on the options available to us. He is very reliable and thorough, hard working and a lovely chap. Throughout I have had complete confidence in Will and have no hesitation in recommending him."
"William and his assistant Harvey fitted some bespoke built-in cupboards/shelves either side of our fireplace, along with some under-stairs storage including a desk and fixing some creaking in our stairs. We are so happy with the result, it was exactly what we asked for and we've already had so many compliments. They were also very efficient and tidied up after themselves, the work was finished within the time they gave us and a very reasonable price too. We'll be recommending them to friends and family for sure!"
"Fantastic, I’m really over the moon with my bookshelf and cupboard. Friendly, good communication, excellent value and workmanship, tidy, happy to give advice and 100% reliable. I’ve already requested another quote for more work. Thanks so much, I really appreciate your hard work over the last three days!"

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.
