Highlights
"Lee did an amazing job installing our kitchen, his attention to detail was phenomenal & consistently of a high standard. He communicated patiently, explaining the work he was doing & always looked for solutions to any difficulties. Lee's advice was always helpful & i felt included in the decision making process. Lee is a great timekeeper & a neat, tidy worker. He's a super nice guy, very personable, polite & trustworthy, his work is quality & prices are realistic. He has recently been fitting flooring in the kitchen & hall & i have other jobs which i won't hesitate to ask Lee to do."
"***Top Carpenter*** ***Highly Recommrnded*** Great craftsmanship and built to a very high standard and quality Lee built us a bespoke wall-to-wall media unit for our lounge. Listened to all our needs & came up with some good solutions to things we'd not thought about. Really pleasant chap, good communication & delivered exactly what we wanted. Good price & spot on estimate We will definitely be booking again for our next project"
"Lee was very helpful, responsive and transparent from the off. His quote was very reasonable and he completed all the jobs in one day (making & fitting shelving inside 3x existing cupboards). The finish of the work is brilliant and we are happy all round with his work & professionalism."

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.
