Highlights
"Martin and Sam renovated our 1930s eyebrow cottage from scratch. The house was blitzed. First, it was seriously insulated, then our creative dreams for the cottage commenced. Each new idea, quirky twist and addition was taken on board, created with superb skill and completed to a very high standard. To comprehend an artist's vision is truly unique. I had very set ideas and kept adding to the list - it was never an issue. A daily dose of smiles, laughter, unbelievable attention to detail and complete professionalism. I cannot recommend this company high enough- best decision you will ever make!"
"Martin and Sam could not have been more kind and hardworking. They made me and my daughter feel at ease in a moment. They worked long hours and always tidied up at the end of each day. They made sure we were aware of what stage they were at and we thoughtful with regards to noise. Even after the work was completed (to a very high standard) they were quickly on hand to sort any unrelated problems. Especial when Storm Eunice hit! I really cannot recommend them enough. So happy with the work."
"Martin and son Sam have been at our cottage for nearly 3 months. They are highly skilled, a joy to have around and very easy going. The team are adept at all skills and happy to advise on artistic/practical decisions. They have removed all lathe and plaster wall structure from upstairs, super insulated and re plastered - this has involved new electrics, a major plumbing overhaul, bolting on a gable wall, new bathroom, making good, tiling, and more. They have close contacts such as corgi plumbers, electricians, roofers and wood floor specialists to use. They have the best sense of humour too."

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.
