Eduard Marsheftaj

Ed and his team completed a considerable amount of building work on our flat between May and November 2016. They removed the chimney stacks in two rooms, hand-made two large sets of cupboards complete with multiple sets of drawers, built a new kitchen (a 4 metre by 3 metre extension) from scratch, thermally insulated a wall, installed soundproofing to two walls, installed under floor heating, and laid a wooden floor. This work involved a large variety of work, from digging foundations to fine-tuning drawers so that the gaps between them were precise to less than a millimetre. All of this work was completed to the highest quality. We are absolutely delighted with everything. At all times Ed was conscientious, scrupulously honest, on time, friendly, professional, and thoughtful. His primary aim was always to complete the job to the highest standard, and to ensure that the end result was exactly as we wanted it to be. I have no hesitation at all in recommending Ed. He is absolutely excellent, and the quality of the work that he and his team produce speaks for itself.

We have hired Ed for several jobs now. First he put a new ceiling in one of our bedrooms, then he refurbished our wooden conservatory and at the moment he is redecorating the communal hallway. I have to say that before we met Ed we had almost given up on builders. In my experience most of them are neither reliable nor able to work up to the standards I expect. After reading Ed's reviews online I hired him for the aforementioned bedroom ceiling which had collapsed in one corner of the room. Ed's quote was competetive and after talking to him (he usually explains everything in great detail) I felt reassured that he would do a very thorough job. And indeed that is what he did. I have never met anyone as hard working and determined to do a meticulous job as him. He is very easy to be around and will always take time to explain what he is doing. Moreover he always took everything I said into consideration and tried to adapt his work as best as he could to our needs. From time to time he discovered a problem he had not anticipated but never adjusted his quote. He just dealt with whatever it was he found in his usual thorough way of working and never tried to cover up a problem. Whenever Ed could not be here himself he always sent people who were working just as thoroughly as he does. If you are in a massive hurry and you are not bothered too much with the finish Ed is probably not your man. But his running slightly over time was never due to not working long hours (he was here until 11pm some days) but to his determination to do the best job he can. I had never before hired a builder twice but as mentioned above Ed has been doing more works for us since and I can recommend him without reservation.

I had rubber floor tiles that needed to be laid in my new Posh Shed at the end of the garden. It was a pleasure to have Ed here for the day. He was meticulously careful in planning and preparation and the job was done quite perfectly. I am delighted.

Ed Marsheta did an excellent job of fixing our hall ceiling for us when it partly collapsed following a leak. Ed cleaned up meticulously every day after the work, protected the new hall carpet and managed to save the existing cornice. He said he would be able to do start the work within 3 weeks and he did, and for a reasonable price too. He also did some additional painting in the hall (at no extra cost) to make sure that it looked as good as the repaired ceiling! Ed was very easy to deal with and kept me informed at all stages. I would not hesitate to employ Ed again for building work.
