Highlights
“Mark & Lee are absolute professionals & carried out the job to the highest standard. They were very knowledgeable & kept me fully upto date throughout, explaining everything as much as I needed. They went above & beyond to help me with a few extra bits whilst they were there. It was also useful that Mark had his own structural engineer so I didn’t need to coordinate that & it worked out cheaper. They kept everything as clean & tidy as they could & were always friendly & upbeat. Would definitely recommend as a company you can trust!”
“Mark and Lee were absolutely exceptional from the outset in knocking through a load bearing wall and completing some damp proofing simultaneously. They showed up promptly, had a wealth of knowledge, were a pleasure to be around and the place was left spotless every evening. I couldn't recommend Bluewater enough - we will certainly be going with them again for future work.”

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.
