Pat was a delight to deal with even though the house was a pure pain with no even surface, he project managed everything and always had a smile. The lads were so polite and fantastic at their jobs! Please look no where else! I wish I could give it more than a full rating. completed on time!!”
“Patrick and the team carried out an entire refurbishment of my property, the work was outstanding and they even finished earlier than anticipated having the house ready for Christmas! My wife was delighted and we can’t wait to use Patrick and the Team again in the future.”
“Working with PBS has been such a gift. It's not easy finding reliable trades who consistently go above and beyond, but that's exactly what they've done. I'm so glad to have partnered with them for all my interior design projects, especially on this recent refurb, where they absolutely nailed it. They’re punctual, professional, and their work truly speaks for itself. Looking forward to many more projects together!”

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.
