Highlights
"From beginning the job on time and working every day until the work was finished Ivor and his team completed everything promised. We are extremely happy with his high standard of work and would recommend Ivor and definitely have him again for other projects."
"Could not fault the work carried out all doors hung with precision, polite, well mannered, efficient and a clean worker. We were even given a quote for another job as we have just moved house and there is so many things that need attention. Thank you so much for your hard work! We will definitely recommend you."

From beginning the job on time and working every day until the work was finished Ivor and his team completed everything promised. We are extremely happy with his high standard of work and would recommend Ivor and definitely have him again for other projects.
Disappointed with the experience. Ivor visited the property, assessed the second fix carpentry work in detail, and provided a reasonable quote. I accepted the quote promptly and we agreed on a start date. Unfortunately, the work never began. Despite multiple attempts to chase and get clarity, I was met with silence. Eventually, I gave up and had to book another tradesman. A complete waste of time and very unprofessional. Would not recommend.

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.
