Highlights
"Mario is highly in demand because he is excellent at his job. He had fitted a wardrobe for me a couple of years ago but this time I needed a book case and what he designed and delivered was far better than my expectation. He is highly professional with a good eye for detail. He explains and asks for views as he progresses his work. Highly satisfied with his work. Thank you so much."
"I had my kitchen worktop installed by Mario. He did an amazing job and I can't praise him enough! He was polite, professional and very thorough. I am impressed with the finish and recommend his services to everyone! 👌👍"
"Mario is both professional and personable. He listened carefully to understand our needs, provided a clear, accurate quotation and arrived promptly each day to complete the work. He was keen to ensure he worked to our schedule, and took time to ensure his work was completed properly to the highest standards without procrastination. We are delighted with his work and the completed project, and would recommend him without hesitation. Thankyou for your excellent services, Mario!"

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.
