Highlights
“Downside Builders carried out a kitchen extension for us and made several internal changes — moving the front door to the front of the house, moving the staircase, reconfiguring internal walls, and fitting both upstairs and downstairs bathrooms. We’re really pleased with the end result! A big thank you to Stuart and the team. Everyone was friendly and professional, and they worked hard to keep things as clean and disruption-free as possible. Would highly recommend them.”

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.
