Over the last year I have used ORS Building to address a persistent rising damp issue, remove an inner door from a hallway and put in a new kitchen and new flooring through most of the downstairs in the house. ORS Building is reliable and the quality of workmanship is excellent. The communication is excellent and we are delighted with the job that has been done. I would highly recommend ORS Building and I will be using them again next year.

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Couldn't be happier with the work. Its was a pleasure every step of the way having my kitchen fitted. There were no problems, only solutions. Professional, friendly and trusted. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tony and his team and would definitely use again.

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.
