“Shaqir worked out where the leak from my bathroom originated, then fixed it, remade the ceiling below and replaced some light fittings. I’m so pleased with the results, absolutely like new, and as always he is extremely tidy, reliable and great communications. Thank you!”

Highlights
“Shaqir and his team did 2 tricky projects for us in 2025 and we could not be happier with the work done. Communications, timekeeping, cleanliness and tidiness all outstanding. Shaqie also has a good eye for the aesthetics and we felt very comfortable leaving him to get on with the job without having to look over his shoulder all the time. 100% recommended.”
“Robert came every day on time . He worked very hard and always tided up especially at the end of the day. He has worked for me before so I knew the work would be done professionally, and to a higher standard.”

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.
