“I’m delighted with my new kitchen. The wall knock-through and extra light makes a huge difference. Every detail was thought through with the help of Stuart, his experience and his sound relationship with Howdens kitchens, plus that of the electrician. Making the space both functional, modern and future proofing it for change of use. It’s more than what I was hoping for.”

Highlights
“Stuart ripped out our old very dated bathroom, including pulling up the flooring and re-laying the plumbing to a new more spacious configuration. I highly recommend Stuart for his advise and expertise on how best to utilise space and services in the most efficient manner. This review cannot exclude Stuart’s most skilled expertise in my view - tiling, I wanted all the lines of the tiling to be symmetrical and he is as much a perfectionist as I am. I’m really pleased with the clean, modern and minimalist look of this bathroom. Thanks Stuart.”
“This is the 2nd job that Stuart has completed for us and we are very pleased with his quality of workmanship He easily adapted a few simple changes we requested once the job had started and nothing was ever a problem. We would definitely use Stuart again for our next project and we would happily recommend him.”

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.
