Anonymous5.0 / 5 ·

Chris and his assistant replaced our soil vent pipe and underground drain connections, plus redecorated the house masonry. Chris clearly has many years experience and is very knowledgeable so I always felt completely confident in his advice and work. All work was carried out to a very high standard with careful attention to detail. The masonry was thoroughly prepared leading to an excellent result. Chris was willing to accommodate our job to his schedule quickly, always left everything tidy and was a pleasure to work with.

Very professional and hard working. Carried out major internal and external renovation and repairs to our house. Internal works included renovation and decoration of our lounge and bathroom, including plumbing and electrical work. External work included landscaping and renewing patio, paths, steps and driveway. Exterior maintenance to the roof and chimney stacks, decoration of the house and new water main installation. He provided clear quotes (including extra requests) and kept to them. All work carried out to a high standard and with consultation at every stage.

Harriet D5.0 / 5

Chris removed an internal wall and fitted a steel, including moving radiator pipes and plastering repairs. The quality of work was great and I wouldn't hesitate to contact him again for further 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 register
Never 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.
