Highlights
"Excellent work from start to finish."
"Very professional and helpful from quote to finishing the job. We had some panelling added to two walls and they look really smart, especially with the tricky corner and walls that aren’t straight! The second piece of work was creating bespoke drawers for existing built in wardrobes. They are solidly built and exactly what we wanted to maximise storage."

Very professional and helpful from quote to finishing the job. We had some panelling added to two walls and they look really smart, especially with the tricky corner and walls that aren’t straight! The second piece of work was creating bespoke drawers for existing built in wardrobes. They are solidly built and exactly what we wanted to maximise storage.
Excellent work from start to finish.
I found Drift Woodworking on CheckaTrade.Ryan came and quoted for new front door; the quote kept going up. His assistant fitted the door, but didn't notice he had damaged it with a clamp, or that the letterbox hole had shards of wood. The top of the door is not flush with the frame. He said it was warped & would improve, it hasn't. The cills have a gap of 1 cm, and outside step has gap of 10cms beneath. There is a messy gap of holes and filler inside and outside between frame and wall. He said he would return to finish it when I'd painted.Ryan wants over £200 more to finish the job.

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.
