Highlights
"This is the 2nd time I have used Andrei and once again very happy with the result. Andrei wasn't available straight away but said when he would be free, remembered my request and got back in touch whe he could do the work, turned up on time, neat and tidy, and polite. Very happy with the outcome of the job too. Would definitely use again and recommend to others."
"I consider myself very lucky to have had Andrei do the renovation works in my flat. It was old-fashioned, mouldy, with endless layers of old paint, wallpaper, and tiles—but Andrei turned it into a nice, light, modern-looking property. He was communicating with me throughout the entire process, was very patient with all my questions, and is an extremely honest and kind person—the rare kind you can actually trust. I am endlessly grateful for his hard work."
"Andrei was exemplary from start to finish and did a fab job!"

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?
Run the Cowboy Checker on Andrei Cotos before you contact them.
