I met with Jonah once, gave him an idea of what I had in mind, sent him a few images. the time frame was tight, we went away for a week, when we returned, it was all done, the guys went above and beyond to get things done in time . I was so surprised to find it was exactly how I wanted it. All left tidy and cleaned up. Great team, expert skills and I can highly recommend them.

I recently had a custom door frame and gate built for my garden storage area by Jonah from Varela Properties, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and the gate blends perfectly with my garden. Communication throughout the process was excellent, with Jonah offering great advice and ensuring everything was exactly as I wanted. The job was completed on time, with no mess left behind. I’m very happy with the outcome and would definitely recommend Varela Properties for any work. Professional, reliable, and highly skilled!

Worth checking yourself

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 register
Never 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.
