Highlights

"Fatos and Carlos were tasked with fixing the poorly designed plumbing in my bathroom, coming up with a solution for enclosing the laundry machine, and solving the mould issue in my bedroom by insulating it from the inside. Given such challenging tasks, they delivered brilliantly, contributing intelligent solutions to every problem. They were always responsive and professional, communicating clearly when they would come and do the work. When they left, they always made an effort to clean up after themselves. Wholeheartedly recommend them for their impeccable professionalism and craftsmanship!"

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 C & A before you contact them.
