Highlights
"Excellent service from start to finish. Lee supplied and installed a beautiful staircase with great precision and care. Everything was completed on time and to a very high standard. Would definitely recommend his carpentry work to others."
"Lee has taken over from his brother Luke. Have used before and this time was no less professional. I needed my fence line straightened around my neighbours posts to rid the zig zag effect, new panels in 10 bays, gravel boards and posts and a new gate. All completed to spec in virtually one day. Second day to clear away. The boys worked in atrocious wet weather in autumn. Fence line now looking good and straight and the gate has stopped the cats using my back garden for a toilet. Result. Pretty reasonable costs too. I would recommend and will use again"
"Lee phoned me not long after I requested a carpenter. He visited my house, gave a quote all good. Work done today (26th Jan), all good, 2 weeks start to finish R"

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.
