Ian and John are a brilliant duo. Carried out 2 full flat refurbishments for me. Both flats were taken back to brick, work including damp proofing, reboarding, plastering, moving doorway, renewed door frames and architrave, skirtings, new doors fitted, fitted new flooring including parquet flooring. Also fitted new kitchens and bathrooms including new radiators and wall and floor tiling. All work completed to a very high standard, nothing that they can't do. Would definitely call them in the future if any more work needing to be completed, very reliable and fantastic at what they do

Had a UPVC porch which needed knocking down and replaced with brick and a composite door. Ian and john did an amazing job from start to finish. All regs followed and aesthetically very pleasing, nothing was to much of a bother for them. Very happy
Ian and his team were excellent throughout the whole process. The work has been carried out to a high standard and any difficulties discussed and sorted along the way. They tried to keep everything as tidy as possible even when the work was dusty and messy. Very reasonable quote, will be using their services again.

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.
