Luke has completely changed the look of our house with the fitting of internal doors upstairs and downstairs,was also very helpful with choice of handles .Luke collected and delivered all the items needed for the project. Luke was clean and tidy and even vacuumed Many thanks
We used LA Carpentry to hang several internal doors and to create a bespoke underfloor access door for our services cupboard, and the finish was absolutely spot on. The attention to detail was excellent, everything fitted perfectly, and the bespoke work blends in seamlessly. Super friendly, professional, and clearly takes real pride in his work. Cleaned up after himself and talked us through everything as he went. Couldn’t be happier with the result and would highly recommend.
They completed the work promptly and cleaned up afterwards. Very professional and would recommend them unreservedly.

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever 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.
