Highlights
“Gary and his colleagues put in a new bathroom for us recently and we’re thrilled with how it looks. We chose this business as they gave the best quote and had the best reviews and they did not disappoint. Trust worthy, polite and a great eye to detail, would definitely recommend.”
“Gary and the team carried out a bathroom refurb in our home. Great service. Would defiantly use the corden bleu group with future projects. Polite, hard working and always on time. Great work lads 👍”
“This is the first time we used Gary as he was offering £75 for boiler services. I made the appointment in the evening by email and within 5 minutes I got response back and an appointment was made. Boiler only had an advisory so no emergency work was needed. However, whilst he was here we discussed our renovation house plans with our living room, kitchen and bathroom needing to be done in the future. Will definitely keep in touch”

I found Gary and his team very helpful with advice on designing the bathroom. A bespoke cupboard was made to our request and Gary helped us choose the perfect bathroom for the space as we had no idea what we wanted! We also have used Cordon Bleu for further electrical work and fitted a new consumer unit. It was fast, efficient and kind work. We would definitely use and highly recommend Cordon Blue again!
Shower enclosure fitted on budget and on time - good communications
The work was completed efficiently, checked for leaks, and after demonstrating everything was working, the bathrooms were left clean.
Verified by CheckatradeBathroom complete refurbishment - highly recommend!
We would highly recommend Gary and team at Cordon Bleu. We had our bathroom completely ripped out and remodelled. We are thrilled with the results. Gary is very skilled. He listened to what we wanted and gave his experienced input through out. Gary and the team are friendly and knowledgeable. We recommend and would definitely use again.

Started the job on a Thursday,gutted the bathroom on Friday afternoon left in a hurry to get materials,he left a floorboard missing and nails sticking out of the floor I hammered the nails flat and put the floorboard back,didn't come back until midday Tuesday,when we question this he was very confrontational,his electrician when he was in the loft removed the flooring and left it for me to put them all back,one day he removed the toilet and door left us a family of 5 without a toilet for 12 hours came back at 10pm to put it back. I would not recommend this guy. Telling it like it is.

We are absolutely delighted with our new bathroom. Gary and his team were professional, tidy and courteous throughout and all work was carried out to a very high standard. Gary checked in throughout to make sure all work was running smoothly and all the team were extremely accommodating given that we had a baby in the house at the time! It was a complete pleasure using The Cordon Bleu Group and I would not hesitate to recommend them. Thank you!

This small company consist of an exceptionally friendly team who are knowledgeable, polite and efficient. Gary, the director, is incredibly patient and goes to any lengths to be accommodating and meet requirements. He takes the time necessary to explain everything properly and ensure his customers are happy and satisfied and comfortable. I can't fault the service from start to finish.
Verified by CheckatradeBathroom Refit
Excellent work. Complete bathroom refit from bath to walk in shower. Lewis and Gary and crew were tidy, professional and just got on with the job. The new bathroom is lovely, fitted well with the best tiling I have seen for a long time. All aspects of the work went well, from the guys themselves to the electrician, tilers and roofer. Highly recommend for top quality work.

Excellent timely service, Lewis and Gary were polite and friendly and kept me up to date at all times of how the work was going. The finished job was of an excellent standard and when I called them the day after completing the work with a drainage problem (which was not as a result of their work) they were round promptly to fix it. I would highly recommend them.

Lovely job by Gary, who was very prompt to come out when I spotted a new water stain on my ceiling from the shower tray which was poorly sealed. Nice tidy work. Would definitely recommend.
