Highlights
“John and his team were fantastic from the start undertaking the initial part of the structural demolition and renovation whilst we were on holiday. We trusted them to make decisions in our absence after a full discussion based around the finished article before we left. John kept us up to date at all times, even allowing us to spread the renovation over a prolonged period due to changes in our circumstances. The renovation was priced well based on an undecorated ‘plaster finish’ even though we made additions and changes throughout. Highly recommended.”
“They stopped the rain leaking into cavity wall causing internal walls getting wet. The previous lot left me with this problem which John and his brother efficently resolved. They have also done other jobs for us to the same high standard”

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.
