Highlights
“I recently had my bathroom installed by Essex Install Ltd, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Steve and Harley were fantastic from start to finish – professional, friendly, and clearly very skilled at what they do. They took the time to listen to what I wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and kept me updated throughout the whole process. The quality of their workmanship is excellent, with great attention to detail, and the finish is flawless. Everything was left clean and tidy, and they worked efficiently without cutting corners.”
“From start to finish I cannot fault them. From the planning & design to their excellent eye for detail. So friendly & accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. Would totally recommend them.”

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.
