Highlights
"Fin did a great job hanging two challenging wooden external patio doors. Good communication throughout. Would recommend"
"We needed some fascia and an outside door sill replaced, due to aging and damp deterioration of the wood originals. We got a quick visit and a very reasonable quote, and the work was carried out absolutely brilliantly by an extremely capable, friendly and excellent lad. This just could not have been done better, and all tidied away afterwards. Fin deserves true gold stars for his carpentry."
"Finley did a fantastic job fitting our utility room cabinets and worktop. He provided a very reasonable quote and used his experience and problem solving skills to deliver a great result, even though the space itself was far from straightforward. I had sourced all the parts myself, but Finley worked confidently with what was provided and overcame the room’s imperfections to achieve a clean, well-finished installation. Finley was polite, punctual, and kept everything tidy throughout and after the job. I would highly recommend him for all types of carpentry work."

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.
