Highlights
"Very pleased with the work carried out by this company. Arrived on time, very polite, efficient, did exactly as I asked as they built the interior porch. Happy customer and I would highly recommend."
"We were looking to have a cupboard for coats/shoes fitted in our hallway. I received a few quotes for the job, with Tailored Carpentry & Design being the most competitive by far. Toby was also easy to communicate with, gave clear feedback, and helpful suggestions. I had the job completed by him, which took less than a day. They left the house neat and tidy, and the workmanship is excellent. I would be happy to hire them again for any future projects."
"Toby and his team came over today and built a wall in my garage meaning it is now fully converted into an office / play room. I am delighted with the work carried out. The standard of professionalism and workmanship was very high and the finish looks excellent. Toby and his team were very tidy and left the room completely spotless after the job was finished. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and would happily use them again."

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.
