Highlights
"Cristian built our chimney breast/ media wall, along with putting in all of our wainscoting panelling around our house, which reinstated the traditional detailed features we wanted to put back into our home. Cris also offered great suggestions when it came to deciding how our shoe storage cupboard could fit all of our shoes! All was built to a high standard with outstanding workmanship, and clear quotes! Would gladly recommend in a heartbeat!"
"Very good response and quality of work, and a reasonable price."
"I can’t speak highly enough of Cristian. Not only was he an absolute skilled professional but also a great guy. IKEA kitchens are sometimes a nightmare to assemble but Cristian managed to find solutions to every problem we had, be it uneven walls/floors or any improvisation needing to be done. We also designed a larder which was not a standard thing within the Ikea kitchen but Cristian built it for us and it all came out perfect. Cristian also cares about his customers, he didn’t shy away once from giving advice on other bits around the house. Can’t recommend him enough!"

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?
Run the Cowboy Checker on CRC Carpentry before you contact them.
