A devastating ordeal — my vulnerable 92‑year‑old father was left distressed, pressured, and with unfinished workIt has taken me a long time to write this. Even now, it hurts to think about what my family went through. I feel for anyone else who has been damaged or left shaken by this company.If you are reading reviews, please look past the glowing 5‑star ratings. Recent news reports have exposed how some companies use fake positive reviews to boost their image. After what we experienced, I believe people deserve to know the truth before trusting what they see online.I have police statements, bank records, and photographs of the damage to my father’s home. The emotional impact of this ordeal is something my family will never fully recover from. I never want to see this man again, nor any of the workers who treated my father’s property like a dumping ground while a neighbour’s house was being built. Please also before you say "Stefan" you tried to "FIX" this DO NOT LIE MORE THAN YOU HAVE!!! I will call the police should you approach me or my family!!!My 92‑year‑old father hired EDSS Construction Ltd and dealt directly with the company director, Stefan Vasilie. What should have been a simple job turned into a nightmare that left my father frightened, confused, and deeply distressed.A boiler was installed without any discussion about what type he wanted or how it should be set up. When it began to malfunction, instead of helping, Stefan told my father he must be “senile” and had caused the problem himself. My father’s roof was replaced after Stefan insisted it “needed doing,” and he took my father’s reliable car and cash as payment — again, without giving him any real choice.Throughout the project, Stefan repeatedly demanded large payments while major parts of the work remained unfinished. One of the most disturbing moments was when he took my elderly father to the bank, stayed with him, and persuaded him to withdraw his savings. Bank staff were so alarmed by what they saw that they contacted the police to check on my father’s safety. When my dad returned home, shaken and vulnerable, the police were already waiting for him. Despite this, Stefan still entered the house while the police were present. It was as if my father’s wellbeing meant absolutely nothing.Despite receiving substantial sums of money, the work was left incomplete and in places badly done. We had to hire another contractor — at further cost — to fix and finish the job. Stefan made promise after promise that everything would be put right, but those promises were empty. He acted sympathetic when it suited him, then vanished when we asked him to address the damage — including when his workers sat on my father’s shed and caused it to collapse. He asked for photos, claimed he would sort it out, and then simply stopped responding.My father is a gentle, trusting man. To see his kindness repaid with pressure, manipulation, and a complete lack of professionalism has been heartbreaking. He was taken advantage of at a time in his life when he should have been protected, not exploited.Based on our experience, I urge anyone considering this company to be extremely cautious. Put safeguards in place, ask questions, and do not hand over money until you are absolutely certain you are protected. No family should ever have to endure what ours did.Lorraine

Loft conversion
Converting lofts into usable living spaces are one of the most common residential developments in the UK nowadays, and it is one of the specialties of EDSS Construction Ltd.
Adequately planned and executed loft conversion to your property does not only increase the value of your property but also adds add a whole new look to your property. Most interestingly loft conversions are the cheapest investment on extending the available living space in your house than rear/side extensions or basement extensions. Therefore, loft extensions are the most recommended means of extending your living area in terms of both costs and looks of your house.
Loft conversion can serve multiple purposes according to your custom needs. You can opt to make add an additional bedroom to your house, for children or guests or a luxury master bedroom with en-suite shower-room, or a disturbance free work space for your home office.
And most interestingly, we can carry out your loft conversions with the least disruption to your everyday life, while living in the same property.
When it comes to any type of extensions to your living space involving any structural changes to your property, including loft conversion, you must be aware of the planning permissions you got and/or require. In some cases, not only the planning permission but the party wall agreements are critical in making decisions about your loft conversions or extensions, as in case of attached properties you share the same building structure with your neighbours. These permissions can take a long time; therefore, it is important for you to know and plan that what extending exemptions you may already got, and do you really go beyond those exemptions in extending your property. The standard Loft Conversions, where you already have not extended your property, normally doesn’t require planning permissions.
Extension
Adding an extension to your home for improved living space suiting to your needs is a very good idea, if executed in a proper way. It adds value to your property and comfort to your living. So, if you have not yet done your house extensions, and you are looking into extend your house to the back or side, Edss Construction Ltd can be your perfect choice. We are specialized in home improvements building and interiors with over 15 years of experience in the UK.
House extensions planned sensibly can improve the aesthetics of your property and can certainly provide you with more space to your home. If you are desperate for a larger kitchen, living room, need a sun room, a home office or a study for your kids, house extension is the best idea to pursue. A purposeful extension can provide you with a potentially double kitchen, extended dining area, or double of the living room space, or even an extra room in your house, or an additional toilet, or shower room. You can extend your single-storey rear extension by almost three metres in case of an attached house, or by four metres in case of a detached house, even without planning permission, and can be up to six metres and eight metres based on your property specifications; however, it requires consultation with neighbours and local authority. Therefore, house extensions can sufficiently increase space in your covered area and so is the value of your property, should you want to sell or let in the future.
