Domestic refurbishment is an imprecise science. Delays in delivery, budgets that double and builders that go bankrupt on the job are common horror stories, while names of good contractors are squirreled away, not even shared between best friends. Here, however, are some of the best.
No one can live without their 20-inch plasma screen, which is connected to the fridge, which is connected to the bath and the front gate etc. To get all this right, you need the right sort of advice early on. Chris Adair, MD of Cornflake, is used to dealing with hotshots such as Robbie Williams and Dustin Hoffman, and manages egos as well as wires. He remains committed to resolving problems after the job is done and dusted – which makes him unique in his profession. His crew all arrive in Addison Lees – a performance in itself.

LIFESTYLE IT
Music systems can be loads of fun but computer installation ain’t, so this team of IT experts has taken the pain out of high tech by virtually teaching clients such as Kylie Minogue to turn on their computers. They offer a lifestyle package, which means that clients use the company for all their technical needs (in their houses, yachts etc), as well as tech support. They get engineers out fast and they are used to being shouted at under duress.
