"Adrian fitted an IKEA kitchen at my partner's property. He also fitted LVT flooring throughout as well. It was an absolute pleasure having Adrian complete work for us. From the moment we met him, he made us feel at ease with everything and was responsive to messages and very helpful answering questions we had about various things. We found him to be communicative, friendly, knowledgeable and worked to a very high standard. Above all, he is a nice human being and we have zero hesitation recommending him to others. We will certainly contact him ourselves in future for any further work 😊"

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.
