“We had Gill-Howes Building and Landscaping in to design and quote us for fitted wardrobes for our bedroom. Joe was incredible from start to finish and the end result has exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail and professionalism was on point throughout. Even after having a wall knocked out our bedroom was left immaculate. I would highly recommend Gill-Howes to anyone looking for a real genuine and reliable company.”

Highlights
“Joshua and Joe just finished the removal of an internal wall and replacement with a bespoke doorway into our Garage. Communication, quality of work, timeliness were all faultless. I would not hesitate to recommend these guys. Very impressed. Thank you!”
“Very pleasant and conscientious workers. An excellent job finished to a high standard. All mess cleaned up after every visit and nothing too much trouble when we added small changes to our original plans. We would highly recommend using this company and already have plans to use them again later this year.”

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.
