Highlights
“Very reliable and professional. Fantastic work , the project done in timely manner.”
“Highly recommend Emyl and his team. Clear communication and a very professional quality of work. We did a lounge renovation with EK Renovations, and along the way we encountered some technical issues and I also requested a few changes to the original plan. Everything was handled in a very reasonable and collaborative way. I would definitely use them again.”
“Emil was very detailed in his communication prior to the work, suggested alternatives and was very clear what he would do, and the pricing for everything. He was super punctual, worked meticulously, cleanly and did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend him.”

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.
