The work was part of a larger project which incorporated a new kitchen installation. We were nervous about the mechanics of removing a large part of the main external wall and wanted the right person to do it. . We were recommended to Nick Balaam . Nick visited well ahead of the job, spent time understanding what we wanted and from that give us a fixed price we were happy with. A few small unexpected items were absorbed into the project cost which we appreciated. The quality of the work was excellent and we are delighted. The team were all punctual, tidy and courteous. Recommended.

Complex project involving multiple trades. Excellent job performed. Mr Balaam remained in close communication throughout and managed changes professionally and cost effectively. I would recommend Mr Balaam.
Top service, good prices, couldn't ask for anyone better.

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 registerNever 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.
