Alternatyva Contractors

Alternatyva were incredibly prompt at responding to emails, provided a competitive quote and were very quick with organising the work once everything was confirmed. They worked efficiently and with attention to detail. We're very happy with the service they provided for us and would happily use them again for any big jobs around the house.

Urgent remedial work was needed to replace joists, floor and shower unit after the discovery of a leak into the cellar which must have been longstanding. Alternatyva appreciated the urgency of the work required and assessed the job very soon after my initial contact. Their estimate was fair and they offered to begin work within a few days.
Kris and Bogdan worked very hard to ensure the job was completed in 6 1/2 days ie well within the 7-10 days which they'd estimated. Communication wasn't always easy, as I don't speak Polish but face to face and texts via ChatGPT were ok! They left the work area very clean and tidy at the end of each day even though the flat was unoccupied for those few days. They were always polite, courteous and very industrious.
Although payment was requested via BACS, Alternatyva understood my need for the insurance which comes with paying via credit card so this was promptly set up online.

We had a cast iron pipe below our wet room floor had collapsed. Access could only be gained by removing the floor and everything else. They replaced the damaged pipe and,replaced all the plastic pipes then laid a new floor. We decided that as we were having the upheaval we would have a new shower and sink fitted and it's amazing. The tradesmens work ethics are excellent. Started at 8am and worked a full day to 6pm. They were very tidy and cleaned up every day when they finished work. We are really pleased with the company and are looking to employ them for further work we would like done in our house.

They responded quickly to our request and gave us advice on what was best to do in our kitchen. Reasonably priced and carried out the work quickly and to a high standard. Would definitely recommend!

Great job

Far beyond my expectations. Urgent repairs undertaken without question or resistance and completed within an agreed schedule. Hardworking team, wholly reliable and excellent multi trade workmanship.

This was a small job to repair a driveway wall. Arthur was friendly, communication was good and straightforward and they did a great job. I thought the price was very reasonable, too. Overall very happy and would recommend using them to others.

Ceiling skimmed and plastered after panels cut out (as arranged) by another firm in process of installing a flue for new boiler.
Alternatyva Contractors did a terrific job. Very efficient and professional. Would not hesitate to use them again. Highly recommend them.

Clear communication and helpful advice. Recommended local tradesmen

Work was done to an excellent standard, communication was good and prompt.

I was involved in a big office block refurbishment project for our client in Fife, I used joiners and labourers from Alternatyva to help achieving our deadline.
Service provided was very professional and reliable.

Amazing service, professional customer service, fast and accurate execution of work. Highly recommend

A range of varied jobs around the house: building front step, plastering, replacing damaged ceiling plasterboard, replacing underfloor, laying wooden floor and skirting and levelling and tiling a floor.
Guys worked really hard, sometimes working late. Important thing is they wanted to do a good job and were happy to ask questions or take on comments.
Would use them again.

A small job done well and very promptly.

Tricky repair in the kitchen, but the joiner was thoughtful about the job needs and returned to deliver/install a nice solution in good time.

The work was scheduled in without having to wait more than a few days and was completed to a high standard, within a short time~scale. Very happy with the results.

I needed two ceilings replaced following a water leak. They provided a competitive quote and carried out the work during the period I asked for.
The work was good, the staff helpful, responding quickly to texts or phonecalls.
After the job was finished they helped me move some heavy shelf units back into position, which would have taken me ages on my own.

Really happy with the work completed. Tidy, punctual and easy to deal with. Happy to recommend.

We have worked with Alternatyva for several years now and have always received a great service

Alternatyva provided an excellent sub-contractor service for a large project in Edinburgh. Their team were excellent in their service delivery and they worked diligently to deliver the work packages on time and within budget. Any issues were swiftly resolved to ensure a smooth operation of the project.
They have also worked on a number of smaller projects and again been excellent in their price and service.
No job is too small or too large for them and they are always very competitively priced.
