Yils is an outstanding tradesman. I would wholly recommend Designer Builds Ltd and wouldn’t hesitate to re-engage him for any work we need in the future. He is a very good communicator and values the quality of the finished work over everything else. Not only did he do a brilliant job of stripping and completely refitting our bathroom in less than a month, he looked after all of the surrounding parts of the house so they didn’t get filthy and always recommended the crucial little touches to make the finished bathroom look even better. 100% recommended ⭐️

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 9 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Detailed reviews
The whole project went very smoothly fro start to finish. We had a major issue with our current bathroom it was leaking and was coming through the kitchen ceiling below and the sanitry items and tiles needing taking out and replacing. The whole job was really well done from start to finish and the attention to detail was excellent. We would definitely use them again for our next project.
A great experience having this company renovate two of our bathrooms ( a family bathroom and an en-suite). From start to finish I had a professional, kind and experienced team working hard to ensure the final outcome was really high quality. They took no short cuts and always looked to ensure that there would be no issues in the future. Any challenges or changes were discussed with me throughout the process. Really pleased with the level of detailed attention paid to do each and every part of the job. Great care was taken to work around the family and ensure safety throughout the works.

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.
