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." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "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." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "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." > Source: Louise H (5.0, via Checkatrade) ## Trades Builder, Concrete contractor, Demolition contractor, Landscaper ## Services they list _Listed on public sources or the business's own website; check directly that they cover your job before you book:_ - Agricultural Building - Brick / Concrete Structural Repairs - Cladding - Concreting - Demolition - Equestrian Stable - Extensions / Conversions - Garage Conversions - Garden Studios - General Building - New Builds - Partition Walls ## Areas covered _Towns and areas this trader lists serving.

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. - Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact. - Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current. ## Contact - Phone: 07888 868958 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/kensington-home-improvements Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source and is cross-checked.
