Highlights
"Steve and his team recently fitted my Howdens kitchen and did a great job. They were prompt, professional, and always quick to respond, which made the whole process really straightforward. The kitchen was completed to a high standard, and I’m really pleased with the result."
"Steve fitted our Howdens kitchen which required all of the existing kitchen to be ripped out, flooring removed, electrics and water pipes reconfigured. He was assisted by Mike and Julian who were hard working and courteous. Steve was efficient, knowledgeable and able to sort out problems, such as resiting our water softener within the new layout. We are very pleased with the finished kitchen. Thanks Steve!"
"Steve and his team created a beautiful, purpose built kitchen and bathroom, unlike any other. It involved moving pipes and creating a purpose built cupboard for a washing machine in the bathroom."

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?
