Highlights
"Alan is GREAT! He fitted my brand new kitchen worktops. Alan is extremely polite, professional and friendly. He arrived and got to work with little fuss or bother. Great finish to his work particularly a corner section of worktop and left the flat spotless after the work was complete. If I need any further work doing in the future at my flat I wouldn’t hesitate to get in touch with Alan. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alan! Thank you so much Alan."
"Alan did a very good job overall. He’s a one stop shop providing expertise in electrics and plumbing in addition to kitchen fitting. Have booked him again for bathroom replacement."
"Alan fit our kitchen for us. He did a good job overall. He had to come back to rectify a couple of minor snags but I guess this is to be expected with any kitchen installation. Thanks Alan."

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?
