Highlights
"From the initial contact to completion Les has been great. He certainly knows his business and is extremely competent in everything he does. Les kept me informed every step of the way, turned up on time and left me with a fabulous new bathroom. I am more than happy to recommend Les to anyone looking for a great job at a very reasonable cost."
"Helpful, efficient and friendly service and installation"
"Les from L.A. Installations was absolutely fantastic. He has recently fitted a kitchen for me and he’s done a great job. Hugh quality work. Very conscientious and thorough. Happy to give advice and support with how best things would work. He went above and beyond to help with extras that arose during the project. He was clean and tidy. We were so impressed with everything Les did we’ve asked him to come and fit a bathroom for us."

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.
