    Recommendation generally. Or take your chances on Facebook or Checkatrade etc. best of luck with the last two though.

    Would have to be if you intend to help him/her, generally it will hold them up.

    Except not anyone on checkatrade. If you have to buy jobs off a website, you aren't doing it right.

    Apparently, the best way to get a builder to get a move on is to tell them the kids are on holiday next week and are looking forward to helping out!

    Hence why I said take your chances. There will be decent people on there, same as Facebook. I even know a couple. No idea why they bother with it personally.

    Best to Google on google my business which comes up on Google maps, then you can find the nearest to you, also they will probably have some good stars next to their name and a website to look at. ;)

    The carpenter will quote you what he wants for the job, not you tell him what you’ll pay him. The amount of help and info you’ve had off JobandKnock on DIYNOT and this very forum I’m amazed you can’t hang doors by yourself by now.
