“Doru and his workmates did a very professional job renovating an awkwardly-shaped bathroom. I was impressed with the wall tiling and Doru's carpentry. Doru even improved certain things that weren't in the original spec (e.g. boxing in pipes). The only downside was there would have been less dust and paint marks on the landing floorboards had dust sheets been used. Hardworking and reliable in comms, I would definitely use Doru again.”

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.

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.
