Highlights
"We could be not be happier with the services provided by John and his team. The cladding work required on the rear wall to our terraced house was carried out efficiently and professionally. John's communication, throughout, was great and we are delighted with the new cladding system."
"If ever you are looking for a carpentry & building services. Then look no further than Beachwood carpentry! What caught my eye first was their website great reviews and content. In this case the removal of a carport proved no problem for them. Very proffesional in everything from manner to completion and very tidy. In short Beachwood carpentry comes highly recommended. It's a no brainer!"
"Beachwood gave us a brilliant service for partly converting our garage at the end of last year. John was fab from the off providing several really detailed quotes when the scope of the project kept changing. Communication was great too. Joe and Mike were on site for most of the project and cannot fault them at all, they are a credit to the company. The conversion was finished to a high standard and we are very happy with the result. Only hiccup we had was not able to brick match for the front, however John explained options and provided photos and we settled on a rendered finish."

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.
