Avoid!
I arranged for them to visit my new home on moving in day to hang nets and a painting. When they arrived, they noticed that my removals company (who I had already paid) were assembling three IKEA wardrobes. They repeatedly asked how much I had paid, then persuaded the removals team to hand over the assembly of two wardrobes, saying they were professional IKEA fitters The work was caused permanent damage ( £700) One wardrobe was left with a large gap behind it, unsecured to the wall, and the doors fell the next day due to misaligned tracks. I was told it was “not their agreement” . Avoid!

Hanging a mirror
Communication through checkatrade and by phone was good. Work was carried out quickly just a few days after the request was sent at a reasonable price.

EXCELLENT!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I recently hired this company to assemble some flat pack furniture for my home, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the results. From start to finish, the service was top-notch. The team was punctual, professional, and incredibly efficient. They assembled everything with great attention to detail, and the final setup looks amazing. What really stood out to me was how organized and tidy they were throughout the process. They took care of everything, including clean-up, and made sure the furniture was placed exactly where I wanted it. It was an stress-free experience from beginning to end!
