“Great experience with James and the guys from Harlex. They were so helpful in guiding us through our project to re-build our utility room, advising on what cabinets and fittings to buy and then delivering a high quality installation and finish. We then asked them to design and fit bespoke shelves into a unique space which they delivered brilliantly. At all times, their "can do" attitude and positive support was really appreciated. We are already thinking about the next project. Highly recommended, good value and just lovely to work with.”

Official checkOn the public register
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.

Highlights
“James and the whole Harlex Build team have been absolutely brilliant to work with on our renovation. Predictably, there were a whole host of issues once we started lifting floors and opening up the walls of our old house - the team adjusted, manged them carefully, with pragmatism, and we ended up with a result we're really happy with. They're also a pleasure to have around - which makes a big difference on any longer build. We will definitely continue to work with them”
“I would recommend James and the whole crew at Harlex. They did an amazing job repointing my whole house despite the weather getting in the way! I'm continuing to work with them on other building jobs as I don't want anyone else! Catherine”

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.
