“We had an incredibly positive experience with our builder. From start to finish, Alin's team was professional, smart, and prompt, treating our home with respect across the entire workforce. Every request was met with an open approach, and the quality of work was fantastic. They consulted with us during challenges, offering a true “can-do” attitude, and we never felt pressured to spend unnecessarily. As a female often working from home, I felt comfortable throughout and have a beautiful home as a result. Highly recommend for both commercial and residential projects. A building company gem.”

Highlights
“Abaco were brilliant to work with. Alin is very pleasant to work with. Great at communication and polite throughout. Would recommend.”
“We had a very positive experience with Alin and his team. Our project was expertly managed by Sergiu and the entire team were friendly, reliable and hard working. It was our first time carrying out a project of this scale, and Alin and his team provided us with guidance and advice throughout. We appreciated that the team also made efforts to save us money throughout and we never felt they were finding ‘problems’ simply for the sake of charging us more. We would highly recommend Alin and his team. They are true craftsmen and bring a positive can-do attitude to any job.”

Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.

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.
