Highlights
"Extremely happy with John’s work. He built a TV unit in my living room, and a small wardrobe in one of the bedrooms and both look great. Really good quality and exactly what I wanted. Thank you John, highly recommended!"
"John was recommended to us. He built bespoke shoe storage under the stairs and installed a glass and oak staircase. Very happy with the work"
"John created a wonderful bookshelf/tv unit for us last week. It was exactly what we asked for, and the detail was perfect! Highly 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.
