Highlights
"Sam was efficient and professional throughout the work he did for us. We had shaker style panelling installed in our hall and stairway wall. Sam did a fantastic, high quality job which has since been commented on by other tradespeople doing other works for us. We would highly recommend him."
"I posted the job and Sam replied very promptly and arranged to come out to quote. He arrived when he said he would and gave me a few choices of doors with prices in his quote which he then ordered with my choice. Sam then arranged to complete the work the following week and has done an excellent job! He has hung four doors adjusting them to size as one room had just had a new carpet. he was very tidy and took the old doors away so the job was hassle free and the price was so reasonable for excellent quality work. I am having Sam back for more work and would highly reccomend, thankyou!"
"We contacted Sam requiring some built in wardrobes, and he promptly visited to provide a quote and he was available to start the work the following week. He did a great job, and fitted the wardrobes quickly and with great care and attention to detail. They have been in for 2 weeks now and look like they have been there for years! We could not recommend him enough and will have him back to do some additional work later in the year, Thanks Sam!"

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.
