The quick way to find a local Wooden Shutter specialist

Reviewed by Sue on 4/7/2025

I found Darren to be friendly and professional. His quotes were reasonable. The jobs changed slightly once the work started and Darren took the time to explain the options. Some changes required additional money from me but I was happy to pay as the end result was worth it. I would definitely ask Darren for quotes in the future.

Shortly after finishing our renovation the floor began to lift, after a 2-year battle and almost court they admitted it was a fitting fault. Not ideal for a 12k job. Now our sink has fallen in, turns out he has used the world's smallest bit of wood and some sealant to fix it to the underside of our granite worktops rather than correctly fitting it using the fixings on the actual sink. Add to this, gaps between drawers and misaligned cupboards and you get the idea.

Disappointed as decided was too busy to do my job despite giving me a quote

Unreliable. Didn’t turn up as agreed to look at the job.

Very poor service. Did not complete the job, paid him the money in good will as he was supposed to return to complete the final part and he didn't return. Left messages and then he changed his number. Very disappointed!!

I didn't have the work done. They came across as unprofessional and pushy. I can't coment on the quality of the work but I can coment on the quote process. Just verbal price. When I pushed for an email quote I just got the price again and little else. Nothing about what they were going to do as part of the job. I expect better. The last few tradesmen I have had on Rated have been excellent full written quotes and professional from the start. These guys even had to ask if they could borrow a tape measure!

Tim was not able to start the work immediately but as it was not urgent we were happy to wait and he kept us updated on his expected start date.

I gave him the keys for the property, he hasn't turned up to return the keys as work has been finished a two weeks ago.

Arranged viewing but never turned up!

He phoned and made an appointment, never turned up and has never phoned since, so I have had the work done elsewhere. So far this is my one and only experience with Rated People. Adrian Smith.

Very disappointed indeed. No attention to detail. Would never use again.
