Marcel is the best builder I’ve ever had! We have half the kitchen refitted with some new units and a worktop, rewire to make new sockets, tiling the wall, change a hob and replace our messy plastic dishwasher pipe. Marcel worked very efficiently and done everything in three days. On the fourth day he replaced our busted towel rail. He was punctual, professional and kept everything very tidy. The job finished excellent, everything is aligned perfectly. We couldn’t be happier. We would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality kitchen fitter.

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Detailed reviews
I had my kitchen fitted by Marcel and his team, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the service was professional, efficient, and of the highest quality. Communication was excellent throughout the project. From the initial consultation to the final installation, everything was handled with professionalism and care. The workmanship is outstanding. The cabinets were installed perfectly, all appliances fitted seamlessly. I would highly recommend Challenger Construction to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy kitchen fitter.
Quick response to my approach to checkatrade{the only one!!} also available within days. Had some difficulties in sourcing product but managed to get what we wanted and was able to reduce the noise level on this to an acceptable level after 3 visits. A good indication of wanting to do a good job for customer. Would definitely recommend

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.
