Highlights
"Kosta & Sons recently carried out a general renovation of my house which included fitting new doors and frames, bannisters and spindles, plastering, coving and knocking a separate bathroom and toilet into one room. Kosta & Sons took time to fully understand what I wanted to achieve, were respectful, competitive on price and the work was completed to a high standard. I would use again and recommend to others."
"We recently had a wrap-around extension completed by Kosta and his building team, and we honestly couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very first meeting, Kosta was professional, knowledgeable, and transparent about the whole process. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we understood what was possible within our space and budget."
"Kosta and his team completely refurbished our house. Made downstairs open plan, new kitchen, bathroom, plastering, plastering tiling, electrics and plumbing.New flooring throughout. Kosta is so knowledgeable and has amazing ideas without increasing costs and is on site daily. His team are all outstanding at their work and very respectful and pleasant to have around. We couldn't be more pleased with our up to date 'new' home, our house has been transformed at a very competetive cost. Kosta is a gentleman and a really lovely honest man. Absolutely recommend him 100%"

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 Kosta & Sons before you contact them.
