Highlights
"Matt came to our rescue yet again. We wanted some faux beams added to a project that our builder could not get their head around but Matt did! And made it even better by them covering some ugly velux plugs. He also fitted another awkward door and redid some ugly boxing in with much nicer wood and finish. Thank you Matt!!!"
"Fitted door frame hung door on downstairs bathroom very thorough very professional job Door swings and fits beautifully all in all very professional job"
"I needed a new garage door frame. Mat supplied a fitted a new frame, patched a hole in the garage roof, and rehung the door. The work was carried out in good time and to a high standard. The space was left clean and tidy afterwards."

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.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
Run the Cowboy Checker on Matlox carpentry & joinery before you contact them.
