Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 5 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Very polite and great attention to detail - the wall looks incredible and made so by the precision of installation - looks like a real brick wall. They cleared up each evening and at the end of the job - couldent have asked for more - have since had them back for other jobs too and will be my go-to from now on”

We used Nick and his team for our house refurbishment after many recommendations. Throughout the project they were punctual, tidy and professional, often going the extra mile to ensure we were pleased with the end result. We would definitely use Nick and his team for any future work.
Plastering of hall way and bedroom
Nick and his team were fantastic from start to finish, leaving me with smooth walls.
Chose General Refurbs because they were very communicative and offered a fair price for the job. Turned out to be a great decision because the job was done really well.

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.
