Highlights
"He was very helpful and efficient with a good price."
"Wilson was really thorough and worked efficiently, installing my kitchen over 3 days. Despite my kitchen supplier messing up the order, Wilson remained calm and professional and gave me good advice in some areas when needed. He was responsive and always quick to help and offer suggestions and his professional opinion. Would definitely recommend him."
"I recently had my house refurbished by Wilson and his team, and I am thrilled with the results. The work included changing the kitchen wardrobes, replacing all the doors, and installing new laminate flooring, and the transformation is remarkable. The new kitchen wardrobes are modern and functional, adding both style and extra storage space. The doors throughout the house are now sleek and sturdy, seamlessly matching the updated design. The laminate flooring is beautifully installed, giving the entire home a fresh, polished look."

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.
