Testimonials
We measure our success by the satisfaction of our clients.
Review of a Basement Extension in London
Chris, Ray and the team did a fantastic job of our basement/lower ground floor kitchen extension and sunken patio that involved a lot of excavation work. We would 100% use Chris again for our next project and have recommended him to friends. Tiling, flooring, brickwork, roofing, kitchen, and finishing are all excellent. Super reliable team, who were all very friendly and helpful. Electrical and plumbing work all very neat and tidy. In all, the quality and finish completely blew away our expectations and the works came in on budget and on time!
Review of a Full Home Refurbishment in Highgate
I recently had the pleasure of working with Chris for a full home refurbishment, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The team were incredibly professional and attentive to detail throughout the project. They did an excellent job with the floor fitting, kitchen installation, bathroom renovation, and decoration work. Everything was completed to a high standard, and they were always responsive to any questions or concerns I had along the way. Overall, I highly recommend Refurbishment Specialist
Review of a Garage Conversion North London
Chris and his team helped create the best little gem in our house, garage turned bedroom! He and his team were very accommodating and worked around the clock (including weekends). Very helpful, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. Would recommend! Thanks again!
Reconfiguration and Full Refurbishment of Apartment in North London.
Chris was in charge of renovating our flat (Victorian building) in North London, including changing the lay-out of the flat, creating a new kitchen / living room and two bathrooms. Chris has been a great project manager, from the very start of the works. He provided advice and recommendations throughout the project, he is reliable, very responsive and, most importantly, always on top of every aspect of the project. He relies on carefully selected subcontractors with whom he has worked for years and who have delivered on time. I highly recommend Chris for renovation projects.
