Highlights
"Very happy all around."
"We had a very positive experience with Andrei, Andy and their team doing a major renovation of our detached house in Dulwich. They were professional and caring and worked with other specialist contractors effectively. They also listened to our asks and carefully accommodated what was expected. In minor cases where issues needed to be resolved, they worked with us as a team to address the problems and resolve. I would highly recommend them for future projects."
"The work included plastering of all walls, installing a new radiator, laying new oak engineered flooring, fitting new skirting boards, painting ceiling, walls, fire place & all woodwork. Andrei provided a detailed quote, not cheap but competitively priced. He stuck to the agreed start date and turned up every day like clockwork, just before 8 am. Andrei and his team completed the work as scheduled in 8 days, without cutting any corners and a remarkable attention to detail. The finished product is absolutely stunning! Without any hesitation we will recommend ABL to neighbours & friends."

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.
