Highlights
"G.L. Carpentry offered me a very professional service at a very competitive price. Work was carried out to a high standard, very good communication from George and at a very reasonable cost. Happy to recommend them to anyone looking for a good carpenter. Would use again if need any work done. Thank you George for your excellent work."
"It was a pleasure to have George do the work. He was honest, on time and did a great job. I would happily recommend, and will definitely be using him again in the future"
"Previously, we had work poorly completed and needed a reliable and high quality person to finish the final fitting of skirting, skimming doors, and general tidying of thresholds. George ticks all the boxes and is a really hard working solo carpenter. I can't recommend his services 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?
