Lubo and his team did a fantastic job on my bathroom refurb. He was punctual, organised and had fantastic attention to detail. I couldn’t be happier with the performance of him and his team.

IIDL fitted my kitchen in January 2019 and did an excellent job. In addition to fitting the kitchen, they installed a new electrical circuit and all walls and ceiling were skimmed.
Before the work started, I was given a very detailed quote, breaking down the cost of each part of the work, and I was given a timeframe for the length of the job.
As much as the quality of the work (which was excellent), I appreciated being kept informed on a daily basis of what work was planned for the day, and who would be doing the work. Most days I had a daily site visit from the Lubo; on days when there was no visit I had a phone call to check that I was happy with the work so far.
I appreciated the 'can do' attitude of all the workmen, and their willingness to stay until the job for the day was complete, to enable the next day's work to keep to schedule. I was consulted on any problems or queries that cropped up, and presented with alternative solutions. Everyone was unfailingly polite, and disruption was kept to a minimum.

I don't think a short review can do IDL full justice. One of the most professional companies I have come across, where the customer is absolutely at the centre of everything they do. You can see the full scale of their work for us here: https://www.seasonsincolour.com/single-post/Amazing-designer-modern-marble-Bathroom-Makeover
I hired a HOUZZ PRO because I wanted a professional finish for our bathrooms and therefore wanted someone with a good online footprint and examples of previous work. The owner Lubo Pavlov, visited out property for the initial quote, investigated thoroughly and provided a detailed quote for all the work to be undertaken. If I could summarize all the reason why I am delighted about IDL's work:
1. Punctuality and patience - They were onsite every day, before the school run, waiting patiently while I was stressing to get the kid ready and out, before making their way in. They left every day after we had returned home (at 6pm).
2. They looked after our home. From the obvious protective sheets on the floor and stairs, to cleaning up at the end of every day.
3. Communication. Every day, I received a breakdown of what took place, and what was scheduled for the next day.
4. Preparation - I was advised early on about products I would need to purchase, which helped us move the project efficiently to completion.
5. Problem solving - All the team made recommendations where I couldn't. No expenses were made unless they were totally necessary.
6. No corners cut. The quality of work was high; where we wanted changes, there was a 'no problem, we'll do it' attitude.
7. Project Management - end to end, the owner was onsite every morning and evening, to supervise progress. And when they needed to pick up products on our behalf, they did so.
8. Always available on the phone.
IDL will now work on our family bathroom and I have already asked them to quote me for a kitchen renovation and other carpentry projects in our home. I wholeheartedly recommend them, they are REALLY NICE GUYS that you feel safe having around your home. They get on with the job and stay out of your way.

Thanks for the awesome review, Jenny!
We work hard to meet expectations like yours, and we are happy to hear that we are doing great. But this wouldn't be possible without your help and professional approach to the project.
Thank you very much for the stunning photos, too!
We are impatient for our next project together!

We have used IDL Contractors on a house conversion into 3 flats. We have had no experience with such project in the past and it was a big challenge for us. We have to say that we have made the right choice selecting IDL as main contractor for this project. Lubo advised us on a lot of points that we were not aware of and made a lot of additional research giving us different options.
There are many positives, one of the things being our very little involvement in the building process as both of us work full time. We would only do the forthright inspections and we were delighted with the progress and the quality of the works. In the gaps between out visits Lubo have kept us updated with pictures of the progress.
We cannot say enough good things about Lubo. He is a guy that is very easy to deal with. He is very positive, hardworking and someone who can deal with problems.
In summary, we recommend IDL as a reliable and quality builders, they exceeded our expectations and we will certainly use them again for future projects. They came within budget, on time and work was performed to a high standard.

I have used Lubo on a ‘large project’. It was a conversion of a 4 bedroom house into 3 flats. This involved major demolition works, temporary propping, a two storey and a single storey extension, major internal reconfiguration works and internal fit out. Therefore kitchens, bathrooms, floors, replastering, decorating, sound and fireproofing. There was also some hard landscaping external works including a major retaining wall and railings.
Lubo was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I always looked forward to seeing him. He is enthusiastic and hard working as were his employees. He was approachable and helpful at every opportunity. We had a couple of buildability issues and he gave the problems a lot of thought and he came up with some very good solutions.
He has a very good standard of workmanship. Notably his floor and wall tiling was very good.
Before his work was actually finished I pointed out a few minor imperfections. I told him not to bother re-doing anything but he insisted and did it anyway. He takes a lot of pride in his work and wants the customer to be happy.
There are no negative points I can think off. I look forward to using him again.

Lubo and his team did an amazing job at our flat. We asked them to refurbish our kitchen and bathroom and not only did they do what I wanted to an excellent standard, they also fixed hidden problems that were found during the process. Lubo informed us of everything that was going on and would always give us advise on different options. He was passionate about the work, which really shows. And what's really important, his team was incredibly polite and careful with everything and all our neighbours were extremely happy with them. We will definitely work with him again.

After a consultation with several companies I decided IDL Contractors would be the company to carry out a total restoration of my 5 bedroom flat.
This involved re-wiring, re-instatement of central heating system and fitting a new kitchen, bathroom and toilet. Also painting and decorating throughout, laying of carpets, detailing period fixtures etc.
Lubo and his team were courteous throughout the process and there were no hidden charges!
I have since used IDL Contractors to repair roof damage to another property and restoring a stable block to be used for offices.
I have no problem in recommending this company to carry out a top notch job.

I contracted IDL Contractors to renovate the bathroom, lay underfloor heating and perform some electrical works in my Victorian conversion property. Having received several quotes I can guarantee that IDL Contractor were very reasonable with their pricing and at the same time delivered to a very high standard.
Lubo who manages the project pays a lot of attention to detail and is someone whom you can trust with the responsibility and does not require following up. Lubo and his team were very professional and were a pleasure to work with. He is by fair the most honest person I had come across in the building business and he went the extra mile to gift his new ladder to us when we inquired about ladders as our property had very high ceilings.
I have no hesitation in recommending IDL Contractors to anyone looking to refurbish their house and I can say for certain that we will be hiring IDL Contractors for all our future refurbishment works.
I wish Lubo and his team all the very best for the future.

I bought an old three bed Victorian terraced house that needed a complete renovation. Due to the scale and cost of the project I am having to do it in stages.
Lubo is one of the most courteous, considerate and inspirational (and humorous) builders that I have had the pleasure of working with.
Lubo and his team installed an entire new kitchen to my specifications as well as a new bathroom and wooden floors throughout.
I also had a new heating system installed and a complete house rewire. However, I made the rather fatal mistake of sourcing local contractors (Kent) for some aspects of the project – this was a disaster and has ended up costing me a lot more money than if I had Lubo and IDL Contractors project manage and deliver the whole of phase one.
There were so many things that due to other people’s incompetence left me unhappy or tearing my hair out. Lubo always managed to pull something out of the bag and found a solution to all of these little issues.
Nothing was too much trouble for him or his team. Lubo kept me fully appraised of costs with detailed breakdowns throughout the project and always knew when to consult with me on something, or whether to just do something, knowing that I would be delighted with the outcome.
This is categorically one of Lubo’s biggest strengths along with his attention to detail to the point of having an entire water pipe moved and relocated so that my washing machine fitted exactly as I wanted it.
I can’t praise Lubo highly enough and recommend him and IDL Contractors 100%. As money permits IDL will be back to finish the renovations.
I have not provided photos with this review because the house is a bomb site at the moment due to having tried to do some things myself, unsuccessfully!
I will add once cleaned up as the kitchen is an absolute triumph, thanks to Lubo, and better than I imagined it!
It was an absolute pleasure having Lubo and IDL work with me on this project!

I employed IDL Contractors Ltd to install a new kitchen, and found them exceptional in delivering a quality finish, although I had uncovered a lot of additional work once my old kitchen and floor were removed. I then went on to give them more work outside of my house for which they were exemplary. I recommend them for any problem solving jobs which will be handled with great personal care and finish.
