Highlights
"We recently had wardrobes (with drawers) built in our son’s bedroom & we’re absolutely blown away. The craftsmanship, precision and attention to detail are second to none — the finish is flawless and the room looks incredible. Istvan truly goes above and beyond, offering thoughtful ideas and advice along the way. He’s also transformed our hallway, stairs and kitchen with stunning panelling, and created a beautiful media wall in our snug. Professional, reliable and always spotless — his work is simply exceptional. We couldn’t recommend him more highly"
"Istvan has helped us on 2 occasions, we are delighted with his work. He is professional, hardworking, and creative. He has recently made and installed a built in cupboard and prior to that he enclosed a stairway and installed a door to separate a section of the house. I would thoroughly recommend him."
"Istvan did an amazing job building cabinetry in our utility room. Everything fits perfectly and it really feels like we've made the most of the space. He was very pleasant to have around. Thank you!"

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 Istvan Kovacs before you contact them.
