Highlights

"Virtually whole house decorated and new doors fitted, excellent work by Stefan would definitely recommend, so pleased with the result."

AnonymousCheckatrade5.0 rating

"We recently had two bathroom floors tiled by Stefan from SAB Improvements and we are extremely pleased with the results. One floor used hexagon tiles and the other patterned tiles, both finished to a very high standard with excellent alignment and neat grout lines. Stefan was professional, respectful and very pleasant to have in our home. He kept everything tidy, communicated clearly and showed great attention to detail, especially around tricky edges and fixtures. The whole experience was smooth and stress free and we would happily recommend him."

"Stefan completed a fantastic job with panelling throughout our hallway, landing and living room. From start to finish, everything was done meticulously, carefully and to a high standard. We couldn’t be more happy with his service and the end result."

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.
