I believe Mr Lawrence was trustworthy at the beginning, but it quickly became clear that he said what he thought I wanted to hear! His initial 12 – 16 weeks completion time has become 52 weeks! The estimate for the work was based on an architect drawing and conversations with me. At the end of the build, I established that he had not quoted for the downstairs utility room, which was clearly on the plan. He then gave me another quote for this. He also charged me for extra plumbing work which he said could not have been foreseen. I firmly believe that he played on my lack of knowledge to make more money! I have now established that I should have had a contract with him, which may have covered some of my problems, but I did not know, and he did not offer! Finally, he dug up the mains electric and on later occasion drilled through the mains power!

Had work started on our house after telling them the budget we wanted to spend. At first they arrived on site on time and work being done then it started to slow right down and people not even turning up to our house to do any work. Had our kitchen designed by howdens which we really liked and paid k w Lawrence 15k to get and fitted etc which he never done and we have a half finished house which he left us with no front door no electricity not hot water no flooring and no kitchen family 7 PLEASE DONT USE THEM

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 register
Never 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.
