I cannot recommend these guys enough. Helpful, professional & friendly throughout with great communication. Paulin and the crew helped me come up with ideas on some "problem" areas of the garden and have created a single unified space that looks fantastic.

Paulin on site — laying concrete in a Sheffield garden

The team

Paulin runs every job himself. Henri's on site every day.

Paulin Topalli set Avia up after fifteen years working for other builders. The thing he loves most is taking a complicated job from start to finish — that feeling when a property comes together is what pushes him into the next one.

CSCS-certified, PASMA-trained, vetted on twelve Checkatrade checks. No call centres, no project managers in between — when you ring Paulin's number, you get Paulin.

How it works

From first call to handover. Six steps, no surprises.

You only ever deal with Paulin and Henri. No subcontractor chains, no project-manager handoffs, no "the office will get back to you." Here's the sequence we run on every job.

Step 01

Phone or WhatsApp

You ring Paulin or send a WhatsApp with a quick description of the job. He responds the same day, usually inside an hour.

Same-day reply

Step 02

Site visit

We come and look in person before pricing anything substantial. Free, no obligation. You get a feel for who's working on your house.

Free, in person

Step 03

Fixed quote

You get a written quote within a few days, broken down by stage. Fixed price agreed at the start with nothing added at the end unless the scope changes — and if it does, we tell you first.

In writing, fixed

Step 04

Date set, materials ordered

We agree a start date, take a small deposit if it's a larger build, order materials, and tell you what to expect on day one.

Clear timeline

Step 05

Build

Paulin runs the work day-to-day. Henri's on site every day. We keep you updated with photos, and if anything unexpected comes up we discuss it before pressing on.

Hands-on, daily

Step 06

Handover & guarantee

We walk you through the finished work, snag anything together, hand over warranties for fittings, and clean up properly before we leave. Checkatrade £1,000 guarantee applies on Checkatrade-booked jobs.
