Highlights
“Fabulous house and front garden refurbishment. First class service with first class results. They not only showed respect for us and our property, but understood what we we wanted and achieved it. On time, reliable, professional and considerate. What more could you want. I highly recommend the company. A*”
“Tony and his team did extensive building works to our bungalow which had an array of damp (wall, ceiling and floor) issues in the bathrooms and bedrooms. From the initial consultation to the final inspection, Tony was professional, efficient and reliable. He was also easy to communicate with and open to discussing changes and took the time to explain the process. We highly recommend him for any project, big or small.”
“I found Mr Thomas a most affable and honest gentleman. Prompt to start work and exceptionally hard working, I actually worried that he was overdoing it. All his work has been completed to a very high standard. I am exceptionally impressed and would not hesitate to recommend him or have him back to do other works.”

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
