How can I check the quality of a carpenter or joiner’s work?

Ask to see a portfolio of completed projects, ideally similar to your own needs. If possible, visit past works to inspect finishes and craftsmanship. Look for clear examples that show precision and attention to detail, and read client feedback on platforms like MyBuilder.

Are carpenters and joiners near me required to have insurance?

Most carpenters and joiners carry public liability insurance to cover accidents or damage during work. Some may also have insurance protecting against workmanship issues. Always ask for proof of insurance before hiring to protect yourself and your property.

Do carpenters and joiners near me charge for consultations?

Some carpenters and joiners offer free initial consultations to discuss your project, while others may charge for site visits or detailed plans. Fees are more common for complex or bespoke work. Clarify costs upfront to avoid surprises.

How can I ensure the woodwork meets building standards?

Ask how they handle compliance with building regulations and safety standards. The right carpenter or joiner will prepare accurate measurements and work to industry guidelines, coordinating with inspectors if needed to keep your project on track.

Can a carpenter or joiner help me achieve a specific style or look?

Absolutely. Whether you’re drawn to classic craftsmanship, modern minimalist lines, or rustic charm, carpenters and joiners can tailor their work to match your style preferences. By combining traditional techniques with your unique vision, they create woodwork that not only fits your space perfectly but also tells a story through design and detail.

I would not recommend anyone to use this builder, I asked him to fix my kitchen door as there was leaking and after a few weeks I called him to come back again to check the door because of the same issue but he is now refusing to answer my calls and messaging, very disappointed, unprofessional service

Hey, The pair is lovely. However, they are extremely unorganised with excuses upon excuses to not do the job. The job was to change the bath and they removed the board of the bath and never came back?!?! after problems with my watermains. Now I have a bath with no board attracting insects and a non working watermains. Very annoying and a huge inconvenience to my life and family.

Hard Flooring- 9 Aug 2022
After a month, I had worst problems than the original one and no communication on how to fix the problems that the trade person caused. Waited for 2 months and gave plenty of time for Luca to respond, but I dont think he is willing to go back and check what the problem was. I have wasted my money and now I have to deal with a bigger problem as well. Please try to avoid his services.

Carpentry- 7 Jul 2022
This guy is not at all dependable. He came, did the architraves, hanged the door. His work is substandard and not professional. After 2 months, the top hinge on one of the three doors came unstuck, dragging the door out of the frame. I got in touch with this guy and sent pictures to him. He replied once and never again. Steer clear of Joseph Morgan Rose of JMR Carpentry.

Tradesman booked another job due to a misunderstanding and then failed to confirm when he suggested an alternative date. Went AWOL and didn't reply to text. Unreliable and not great at communication. Do not recommend. Used someone else to do the job.

Quality of work to fix fire doors was poor standard. We had to get another contractor to correct and complete jobs as it was poorly done. I advise against this contractor as he is very incompetent.

Carpentry- 16 Sep 2021
Thomas came today and started the 1 door hanging at 1pm He charges £30 per hour and said it shouldn't take too long, so I took the old door off for him and arranged the new door, hinges, handle and lock ready for him before he arrived. I was Hoping 1 door hanging would be a Max 2 hours job. 3 Hours later he finished the door. He hung the door well. BUT then damaged the door while fitting the handle and lock. He put white filler to cover the whole/gap he made and said painting will hide it. On the reserve side of the door by the handle he made a 8 cm crack line !!! He wanted £90 for 1 door hanging even with the damages he made. Then said he would take £80. I am Not Impressed by a carpenter with 8 years of experience to damage a door as above. He left all the mess on the stairs by the door and only did a quick tidy up in the room. I trusted My builder to have competent Trades People......
