Highlights

"Jon and his team completed a full bathroom refurbishment for us and we are absolutely delighted with the result. They supported us throughout the design process and handled every challenge with professionalism. Our house is very old, so structural changes and full pipework replacement were needed, but nothing was ever too much trouble. The team were extremely professional, respectful, and meticulous in their attention to detail. The craftsmanship is outstanding and our bathroom is truly beautiful, we could not be happier. I highly recommend Jon and his team , excellent job. Thank you so muc"

"We had both our bathrooms replaced, one was reconfigured. Jon, TJ and the team were fantastic from start to finish. They not only carried out the work to an exceptionally high standard but they kept us updated with timescales and kept within the budget they quoted. . They even made suggestions about improvements which I hadn’t even considered. I would highly recommend them and I will be using them again."

"I had Adams Design & Do complete a full 1st floor renovation for me as well as bathroom refurbishments throughout the whole property, over the course of three months. Jon was a pleasure to work with - very honest and punctual and conducted work to the highest standard. The best thing I liked about Jon is that if I had a request, he would find a way to accommodate it, conversely he was very honest if I had an idea that wouldn’t work or look bad aesthetically. Jon is very fast but also takes great care in the work he does. I would absolutely recommend Adams Design & Do and use them again."

Smart checks

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.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
