Trusted Kitchen Fitters For Reigate 

According to new research shared by LBC, so-called “cowboy builders” have cost British homeowners an eye-watering £14.3 billion over the past five years.  

The figures, revealed by the Federation of Master Builders (FMB), paint a worrying picture of an industry where too many people are left high and dry after putting their trust (and savings) into the wrong hands. 

The report found that: 

  • 37% of adults have hired an unreliable or unqualified builder 

  • 35% were hit with unexpected extra costs 

  • 16% gave up on projects entirely 

  • And 1 in 5 saw their jobs left unfinished 

As FMB Chief Brian explains, the problem stems from the fact that “anyone can set themselves up as a builder, regardless of their experience or qualifications.” 

When you’re investing in something as significant as a new kitchen, those statistics are enough to make anyone nervous.  

Which is exactly why choosing a company like Paragon Designs makes all the difference.
