Highlights
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review – Full Refurb & Media Wall I used Martin Owen Group for a full house refurb and a bespoke media wall, and the results are outstanding. The team were professional, reliable, and kept me updated throughout. The finish on the refurb is top-quality, and the media wall has completely transformed the space. Couldn’t be happier with the workmanship. Highly recommend"
"Exceptional from start to finish. They were always professional, reliable, and kept everything clean and tidy throughout the work. They installed a brand-new kitchen and bathroom, as well as a bespoke walk-in wardrobe in our spare room, all finished to an extremely high standard. A truly top-class company with outstanding workmanship - I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them."
"Initially I had difficulty in finding someone to carry out the work. But as soon as Martin Owen Group got in contact, I found them efficient and extremely helpfull and were able to provide a quotation that I was happy with. They were able to complete the work,very quickly. Although the jobs were small, they did require the use of scaffolding and everything was done very well and I could not have asked for more. I highly recommend them."

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.
