Highlights

"Steve replaced a badly fitted interior round bay window sill in upvc over original wooden sill quite tricky as, a number of tight fitting mitres had to be cut. Excellent finish at, a fair price, well pleased. Steve is a first class carpenter, punctual , freindly, thorough & hard working. A good tradesman."

"We called Steve in to undertake repairs to our early victorian staircase and to create a custom skirting board profile to match the original 1840s board. The staircase case repair was to fix a very wobbly cluster newel, refix some loose spindles and to make good a couple of sections of veneer. Fixing the newel was a tricky job but Steve was able to do it and was careful to retain the original character of the staircase case. He created a profile for the replacement skirting board which is a really good match to the original. He is a skilled craftsman who takes pride in his work."

"Steve is a true professional. Owing to a bad water leak we needed a new kitchen, kitchen floor and conservatory floor fitted, including sub-floors. The work was completed to time and to cost. Steve has a very reasonable price for labour and kept us updated on running costs for materials. He worked very hard to bring the whole project together and even finished the job off with a new, lovingly crafted threshold to transition from conservatory to kitchen. I can't recommend Steve highly enough and will definitely use him again for any future works."

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.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
