Detailed reviews
I couldn’t recommend Nik and FDB highly enough! I’m really pleased with my new kitchen extension and with the service provided by Nik and his team. I have young children and they went out of their way to work around our routine to make it as easy as possible for us to remain in the house while the work was carried out. All of the team were polite and friendly. The work was completed within budget and to schedule too. I’d definitely use them again!
Nik and the team did an excellent job of my kitchen renovation. The entire process from initial conversation, to recommending a sliding door system that was better suited to my purpose, the plans and having it all signed off by building control. The tradesmen were punctual and the work was carried out to highest of standards. Even following the work being completed, Nik provided support with another concern with the property and every tradesman that Nik recommended to me, worked to the same high standards.
Nik and his team were very professional from the start. The communication, reliability and work has been second to none. Any questions or uncertainties were very quickly responded to and explained concisely. We are very happy with the work done by all of his team, including all additional contractors recommended by FDB. We will definitely be contacting Nik for our future building work. Very highly recommended.

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.
