After getting a few quotes and a recommendation we decided to use these guys for a whole kitchen refit including ripping out the old one, new flooring, electrics etc. I couldn't speak highly enough of them and the results are fantastic. Communication was great and they're clearly very good at their job. Parts that weren't included in the job they decided off there own backs to do to improve the result. There was one issue where we hadn't ordered enough flooring but they rejigged their diary to ensure they could come back once the tiles arrived. Fantastic service and really nice lads too.

Detailed reviews
Mark arrived on time to fit a fridge. Very friendly and approachable. The work was completed effectively and with no mess. I would recommend Mark and will use him again. Thank you.
Mark and Dan are half way through my downstairs renovation. They have built a room inside my garage and made a utility, replaced my downstairs WC. Removed a dividing wall to create a large open kitchen diner space. They helped me design and order the kitchen which they have just finished. They laid new flooring in all rooms and organised underfloor heating for me. I am so impressed with their work and professionalism.

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.
