Highlights
“I’ve just had a single garage conversion completed by this company and I can honestly say that it’s the best experience with builders that I’ve ever had . They turned up at 8 every day without fail & worked through whatever the weather . They had great solutions to every problem that they came across & finished the job in record time and at a great price .And on top of that they were a lovely bunch of guys ! I would definitely recommend them & will be using them again in the future.”
“I have had a new kitchen fitted, a wall knocked down to open up the kitchen/ dining room. It needed steelwork as well. All the work done was very professional and the lads tidied up each day. It has completely transformed the kitchen. I would definitely recommend Kensington home improvements. I’m so happy with everything they have done.”
“Fantastic job from start to finish. Communication before and during the work was spot on, which was something that other builders struggled with at just getting a quote! The work took the exact time that Paul said it would, they left the house so clean and tidy everyday when they left. I couldn't be happier with my new kitchen diner, Paul and the team have done an amazing job, I can't believe its our house and I'm so happy with everything. I've already passed Pauls number onto a friend. I would highly recommend these guys.”

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.
