Used BestBuilders to find a bathroom fitter near Southend-on-Sea. Two CIPHE-registered firms plus one TrustMark - all transparent on price, selected the team that came back twice with revised drawings. Fitter found a hidden split in the soil pipe - flagged it, fixed for ยฃ180, no surprise invoice. Insurance happy with the test certificates.

Past a full year and the wet-area waterproofing is clearly bulletproof - zero damp anywhere. Replaced one floor tile that had a manufacturing flaw - no quibble at all. Already used the fitter for a friend in Southend-on-Sea.
