Highlights
"Jim sourced and fitted 6 internal pre-finished oak doors and fittings (handles, hinges & locks). The work was started promptly and completed to a very high standard. Jim and his team mate were prompt, professional and worked diligently. The doors look amazing and have greatly improved our home. I would absolutely recommend Jim as he is highly skilled, professional and polite."
"Jim undertook further excellent carpentry in our house having replaced all the doors a year or so ago - he has now replaced the bannisters to match the doors. Very high quality workmanship - Jim takes great pride in his work - and we are delighted with the results, Would highly recommend."
"Jim rather quickly sourced me some new internal doors and hung them, a difficult job considering we have always had odd sized doors. He also helped us with further storage options in our utility room by suggesting some neat cupboards to hang on the wall. All doors taken down were disposed of by Jim. We are very happy with the quality of the 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.
