Highlights
"I needed a fireplace surround for an old fireplace that had the original one ripped out. It was an unusual size, therefore I needed a bespoke one to be made. They came round to measure and find out exactly what I wanted and this was promptly followed up with a quote and a detailed design. The surround with mantlepiece was well made, it was just what I wanted and looks lovely. They took care throughout the job, were neat and tidy and really helpful and friendly. I would definitely use again"
"Brian rebuilt two steps of our Victorian staircase, where the treads had cracked. He did a beautiful job and was very pleasant to deal with throughout. His communication was great, we were very happy with the cost, and he was punctual and tidy. Will gladly recommend him to anyone who needs a carpenter."
"Most of the work was done to high standard and quality. However after the work was finished, there were some bits that were not assembled correctly and actions taken that were not agreed upon. Once this was brought to attention, no actions to fix the issues were proposed."

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.
