Highlights
"We hired Avelino for a rear infill extension, including a new kitchen and bathroom, as well as the removal of a chimney breast. From start to finish he was friendly, approachable and easy to deal with. The work was carried out to a good standard and we’re very happy with the final result. He kept us informed throughout the process and was reliable on site. Overall, a positive experience and we would be happy to recommend him to others."
"I hired Avelino for a full house renovation, including some structural work, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The quality of his work is outstanding, everything was completed to an extremely high standard with meticulous attention to detail throughout. Avelino offered excellent advice at every stage of the project and was always approachable, reliable, and easy to work with. The project was finished on time and within budget, which is a testament to his professionalism and careful planning. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will definitely use his services again."
"They completed the work to a very high standard and talked through any unexpected problems with solutions. Kitchen was installed as per design and I am very pleased with end result. On time every day and very clean workers."

Before you hire a builder
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.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
