Highlights
"Sahit was efficient, communicated well with us and clearly very skilled. We are extremely pleased with the work he has done and has made our house look far more modern. He measured up the doors and helped us with a recommendation of what and where to choose the doors, he also ordered all of the doors for us so we knew we would have the right doors. The doors arrived late but he kept in touch with us to let us know what was going on and came and fitted them when they arrived. I’d absolutely recommend his work and would happily choose Sahit to come and work with us again."
"Shane was the consummate professional from start to finish. His communication was excellent, polite and straight forward. The work was scheduled promptly and executed very well. No time was wasted. His quote was very reasonable and well priced, (especially compared to some other much higher quotes i was given for the same work). The work carried out was fire-proofing a flat door of a property belonging to my Mother. She was very impressed with him too and she is not easy to please! I could not recommend Shane more highly."
"Shane was excellent from start to finish. He gave us some good advice on how best to treat the rotten window ledge and carried out the work throughly and with great care. He also installed 12 new doors across our upstairs (including cupboard doors). This was delivered to an exceptionally high standard with Shane showing great precision and care in his work. He ensured everything was tidy afterwards, that we were happy with everything and was courteous and a pleasure to have around. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough."

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 SID Carpentry before you contact them.
