Detailed reviews
Had an issue with a kitchen worktop that had dropped pulling tiles off the wall. Craig did a great job resolving the issue and repairing the damage. Excellent service, good communications, took real pride in doing a good job and ensuring I was happy with his work, reasonable price. And to top it all off a really nice guy to have in the house. Would thoroughly recommend his services. Thanks Craig
Our kitchen is going to be with us for a long time, although old, over 20 years, it is sound with no faults aside from the hob which was failing and the evil cooker hood which was designed to gouge your head when cooking. When the extractor needed replacing we decided to replace the evil hood, but getting something to match was an issue. Craig took the brief and had a good think and came up with a really good way to remodel it. Craig worked hard to get the details right & was not phased when hidden features caused problems. a pleasant guy who was proud of his high standards. Before & after
Brilliant service and excellent plumber. Craig came and gave me a quote on fitting a kitchen sink and taps. Very good competitive price, Craig gave me date and time to fit kitchen sink and taps and came on the time he said, very punctual. It probably took longer than expected as Craig had to cut hole larger than the one that was already there but still charged me what he quoted, also cleaned everywhere after finishing. I highly recommend castle and fern.

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever 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.
