“We asked JLS do a full renovation of our ground floor and front porch - and we couldn’t be more pleased! The work involved having to knock down walls, move windows, add in new soakaways and involved the kitchen/diner, family bathroom, hallway & utility room having a complete refurb. Leon and Rio were professional throughout, keeping us up to date with plans, consulting on any issues as they arose & providing recommendations based on their vast experiences. They were also very thoughtful to the fact we have a young family & accommodating that with their schedules. Would recommend & 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.
