Sweet Homes

After a few years putting up with deteriorating, poorly installed decking at the back of our flat we decided to have it replaced with sandstone paving. Brunon and Conrad did a great job. They’re communicative, professional, tidy and attentive and a genuine pleasure to have around. The work was completed to a very high standard, to the original quote and schedule, and went very smoothly considering how tricky it can be to access the back of an Edinburgh tenement for jobs like this. They even fixed a broken doorknob on the shared back door, something I hadn’t got around to doing myself. Cheers! We’d certainly use Brunon and his team for any future jobs, they’re great guys and are a credit to their profession.

Completely new upstairs bathroom fitted, fully painted, and a water pump added for the new electric shower.

Also retiling of the floors in the kitchen and utility room, and repainting the utility room.

High quality work, attention to detail, and a very nice looking new bathroom to replace the old worn out 1970s bathroom that existed there before.

Prompt, clear quotation with work then performed to a high standard and the quoted price. Brunon talked me through all stages of the work both during the original quotation and subsequent work visits. Professional, pleasant and trustworthy: I'd have no hesitation in using Brunon's services again or in recommending him to others.

Brunon Rogowski executed the full restoration and refurbishment of this Victorian flat in Edinburgh, for one of our clients. Plumbing, heating and electric services were replaced, walls were replastered and decorated and floors sanded. The existing kitchen and bathroom were entirely renewed and a new en-suite shower room and dressing area were created for the master bedroom. The project ran very smoothly and the final result was perfectly delivered. Brunon and his staff are a pleasure to work with; professional, proactive and caring. I will without hesitation recommend them to my future clients.

We chose Brunon to carry out our building work through Trusted Trader and were not disappointed.

The project consisted of digging up existing concrete patio and laying new slabs. They crushed the old concrete and used as part of the base for the new patio. Renewing roughcasting on garden walls, creating step at back door and ledge at patio doors. Relaying uneven slabs around the house. Removal of existing path and steps at the front of the house and creating new steps and path. They also carried out various maintenance building works. Brunon and Conrad carried out the majority of the building work supported by Alex. They were extremely hard working and kept us informed of progress and consulted us if any adjustments needed to be made. They left the site tidy at the end of each day. If the weather was inclement, Brunon or Anna would text early in the morning to let us know they would not be on site. They were pleasant and respectful and considered the impact of the work on our neighbours. We are very pleased with the completed works and would not hesitate in recommending them.

We had some custom bench seating built with storage. The finished seats were excellent, to a really high standard and exactly what we asked for. Robert was great; friendly and professional and finished the job quickly and efficiently, would highly recommend!

Minor joinery but still very satisfied

Brunon, Alex, Conrad & Anna all worked very hard under some difficult circumstances to complete my work. Politeness and respect to our neighbours was always at the forefront of their working day. Issues and additional works discussed and agreed ahead of commencement. Pleased with the overall result and the team’s professionalism throughout

Work conducted to a high standard and happy with result

Excellent work delivered with minimum of disruption. The storage units were built off site and delivered fitted and painted. The externally sourced wine racks needed a bit of adjustment. Throughout all of the project Brunon and his team were completely professional and a pleasure to work with.

Bruno and his amazing team completely refitted the basement of the Tailors shop which had been damaged by flooding. They put new wall surfaces in, painted them and installed lots of useful shelving. Their work was neat and of the highest standard. They were punctual, hard-working and always tidied up after themselves at the end of the day. We all said how nice it was to have them working in the shop, and none of us would hesitate to use their services again, either here at work, or in our own homes.

Brunon and the guys prepared and laid flooring in our kitchen and once again made a fantastic job of it - 3rd job in the last couple of years. Their quality of work as always was mexcellent, they are adaptable and can run with complications as they arise, they give super advice and are obviously very experience as well as highly skilled. And, of course their communication skills with Anna’s help, are top notch! Many thanks to them, and we’ll be back in touch soon for the next job on the list.

I had 2 sets of very steep, unsafe steps to my back garden from decking outside my kitchen door. Brunon and Alex designed safer stairs, and the team installed them very quickly and efficiently. At all times they were hardworking, friendly and respectful. At the end of each day everything was tidied away and the route from front to back door was vacuumed each evening. I have already recommended them to a friend who needs work done on her decking.

We have a 2 bedroom flat in Edinburgh, that after being let for 10 years, required a lot of work. On top of that - we had a considerable issue with 'smokers drift' - tobacco smoke drifting through the old floorboards and other gaps around piping etc. from the flat below that made the flat unsuitable for our young son to stay in. We had a redundant gas fire that needed to be removed - along with the fireplace. A new kitchen needed to be fitted. This was a huge job.

Brunon and his team ripped back everything - the floorboards were removed throughout the entire flat, new floorboards down along with a membrane to stop the smoke, all gaps sealed where possible, and new flooring laid throughout. The plaster in the living room was coming away from the walls - so the that was made sound and re-plastered along with the ceiling. Old kitchen was pulled out and a new one fitted. New radiators and heating pipes fitted throughout. And finally the flat was decorated throughout. It's been done to a really high standard and I'm delighted with the work - Brunon ensured we were satisfied with what had been done and checked in several times after the work finished to make sure there were no outstanding 'niggles'.

Brunon and his team were great to work with - this was a huge job and quite stressful for us, particularly as we weren't in Edinburgh to oversee the work. Brunon kept infrequent contact - updating us with photos and letting us know what he needed from us to keep on track. One of the major benefits we found in working with Brunon was Anna. I've had the experience in the past where I've left endless messages with tradies and no one gets back to you, or does days later (usually when you're in a meeting at work). Having the ability to chat to someone on the phone to find out information when it suits you while knowing you aren't disturbing the work was great. Anna really helped to reassure us that everything we were concerned about would be taken care of, and in a timely manner. This was a great benefit of using this team.

I'd highly recommend this trader and Brunon will be the first person we contact if we need any further work in the future.

We required a complete renovation in the kitchen and bathroom including new flooring fitted throughout as well as the hallway. We had several companies come round and they moaned about removing the cast iron bathtub and the water tank saying they were too heavy and difficult to remove. Brunon and his team tackled all the heavy lifting parts of the job in a remarkably short time and then worked diligently in ensuring all the finishings were correct leaving us with a brand new home that was on time and on budget.
I highly recommend him and his team.
These guys work very hard, they just get on with the job.

We have a 1960's flat that was looking very tired. Brunon and the team went through the whole flat (except for the kitchen and bathroom which we had done last year) and massively upgraded the feel of the place. It now looks and feels so much better.

The specific things they did were;
* Replace all of the laminate flooring with LVT vinyl tiles. They made this flow through the flat so that there are no joins in the doorways and it looks fantastic.
*Replace all of the skirting boards
* Replace all of the internal doors with solid core oak doors including replacing the door surround
*Installed a pocket door for the kitchen which has given us back loads of space in the kitchen
* Move a radiator and conceal other heating pipework in the walls
* Move electrical sockets
* Tidy up the walls- remove wall paper; fill in socket blanks from when the flat was rewired years ago, sink some cables into the wall that had been in surface trunking, plasterboard over some parts to provide a smooth finish
* Repaint throughout - walls and ceilings and all woodwork
* Wallpapered a single wall in each room
* Hung a curtain rail and coat hooks etc

There were challenges due to Covid which impacted the time taken versus the expected time (workers got pinged on the app etc) and materials are a nightmare for everyone at the moment. However Brunon kept me informed and we worked together to get through it.

This is the second time we’ve hired Brunon and his team. Again we’re very pleased with the work! In the room they - re-plastered all walls, painted (and followed our design requests!), created bespoke fitted wardrobes, created and finished off all woodwork.

The team always kept in touch about when they would arrive in the mornings. They cleaned up throughly after themselves. And I don’t think I ever saw them stop for a coffee break!

Would highly recommend Brunon and his team.

The current job was slabbing the front garden and putting up a shed.

We met Brunon first when our heavy curtains dragged the rail down. He was first person to say he would help in the emergency. Then we had his staff decorate the lounge. Great job. Then his team converted our eleven year old decking to patio.
This month the team completed wider access paving in our front garden. Again we are very happy with the finish: neat and tidy workers.
Brunon and the team are always professional, hard working, helpful and friendly.

Excellent job and very friendly! Always responded quickly and was very flexible.

A professional service and finish carried out punctually and with courtesy.
Great job Brunon.
