Highlights
“Tony arrived promptly every day and did a fantastic job on my utility room. Although I chose the materials he was really helpful in tidying up the design of my utility room. He even cut down and re jigged some cupboards from Howden’s because they were too deep for my room. I can’t recommend him highly enough. He also rebuilt my garden wall. He is a multi skilled worker who can do anything from plastering, wood work and brick laying. Two years ago he rebuilt my back garden and did my kitchen and bathroom.”
“Tony did an amazing job in addition to the excellent advice on planning the job and the layout of the work. They were punctual, reliable and tidy. The work was completed on time, to an exceptional standard and at the agreed rate. I would highly recommend Tony and his team.”
“Tony has recently completed the renovation of a converted garage. We now have an attractive and practical addition to our home, providing a dining room and French doors giving access to the garden. He also replaced all the downstairs interior doors. The renovation required taking the room back to the basic frame, raising the ceiling, and installing insulation to the ceiling and walls. Tony liaised and advised us throughout. He booked his recommended plumber and electrician and the work continued smoothly throughout. He completed all work to an excellent standard and we would use him again.”

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.
