Stan,

Go to your local Chamber of Commerce and see who they have as members. Not
asking them to recommend, but 'who are your members suitable for this sort
of work'

Go to your builders merchants, timber yard, brick suppliers etc and ask
there if they know anyone etc etc etc.

When I moved into this house in 1986, the back door and frame were in a very
poor state. I went into my local suppliers and chose a door. 'Can you tell
me who would install this for me?' I was shown a cork board with lots of
tradesmen's cards on it. "He is a good bloke" and one was pointed out. I
contacted him, he did the job and it was superb :-)) Shame to take it out a
couple of years ago when we hade a lot of work done and the kitchen, which
is what it was, turned into a garden room with double patio doors.

Recommendation is by far the best. Beats ALL advertsing costs :-)) and it's
free :-))))))
