Valentin and the CVI team were brilliant throughout our project. They delivered a single‑storey extension, full ground‑floor refurb, new bathroom, utility, major garden works and a new block‑paved drive, all to an exceptional standard. Always on time, great communication, transparent, and full of smart, money‑saving ideas. They coordinated smoothly with engineers and designers, never cut corners, and handled snags quickly. Friendly, reliable, and a pleasure to have around. The finished work is stunning. I’ll happily use CVI again.
We recently had our bathroom renovated by CVI Builders, and we honestly couldn’t be happier with the result. Their workmanship is exceptionally clean, neat, and precise, with finishing of the highest standard. You can tell they take immense pride in their craft, having great attention detail to make sure the result is flawless. We’ve worked with CVI Builders several times, and we never even consider using anyone else. Their reliability, skill, and commitment to excellence make them truly stand out. We are absolutely thrilled with our new bathroom and couldn’t recommend CVI Builders highly.
Valentin decorated both the front and back of my house as well as a complete bathroom replacement. He and his team displayed remarkable problem solving skills and he was able to identify a decade long ongoing issue and provide a solution within days. Jobs may take longer than stated as he is a perfectionist in his work. If you decide to hire Valentin he will go above and beyond of what you expected.

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour. A vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials'. Agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated. Protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
