Talk to us about any of our services ↗
02 / Meet R&E

Two owners.
One shared
standard.

We’re Renaldo Dungu and Emi Shrekli — co-founders of R&E Construction and an Albanian building team working in and around North London. Between general building, carpentry and decorating, we bring complementary skills to your project.

As a small team, we keep the conversation direct. You can explain what matters to you, ask questions and discuss the work with the people carrying it out.

EmiCarpentry & painting
Let’s talk about your plans ↗
03 / Why a small team?

Know who’s coming.
Know who to ask.

A two-person team can offer a more personal way to get work done. The value is in the care, communication and agreed scope — not simply the number of people on site.

A direct conversation

You speak to the co-founders about your plans and questions, so there are fewer layers between you and the people carrying out the work.

Skills that work together

Renaldo’s building and site management experience complements Emi’s carpentry and painting background. You can discuss the whole job with one team.

A clear point of contact

Both owners are available for project enquiries. If something needs explaining or agreeing, you know who to speak to.

Look beyond the headline price

A good finish starts
before the final coat.

Preparation, suitable materials and a clear scope all take time. When comparing quotes, check what’s included — the lowest figure may cover a different job.

PreparationAsk about surface repairs, protection and the work needed before finishing.
Materials & finishAgree the products, specification and finish you’re expecting.
Scope & handoverClarify inclusions, exclusions, waste removal and how changes will be agreed.
04 / Our approach

Let’s keep it
straightforward.

01 / START THE CONVERSATION

Tell us your idea

Call or email with your location, the work you need and a few photos. It’s fine if you’re still working out the details.

02 / TALK THROUGH THE DETAILS

Agree the scope

We’ll discuss the practicalities, arrange a visit where needed and put together a quote for the agreed work.

03 / GET YOUR PROJECT MOVING

Plan the work

Once you’re happy with the quote, we’ll agree timing and keep in touch as your project takes shape.

05 / Where we work

North London.
Close to home.

Based around North London and taking enquiries from the surrounding area. Send your postcode and we’ll confirm whether we can help.

Before we get started

A few useful
answers.

Clear expectations make for a better start.

Can I enquire about a smaller job?

Yes. Tell us about your building, carpentry or decorating job, even if it’s just one room or a particular repair. We’ll discuss the scope and confirm whether it’s a fit.

Should I contact Renaldo or Emi?

Either. Renaldo and Emi co-founded R&E Construction and both handle project enquiries. The enquiry form prepares an email addressed to both of them.

What should I send for a quote?

Your postcode, a short description, a few clear photos and any preferred timing are a useful start. Include dimensions or drawings if you already have them. A visit may be needed before a quote can be confirmed.

What if I want to change the work?

Speak to us before the additional work starts. Changes can affect materials, price and timing, so it’s best to agree the revised scope first.

Do you cover my area?

We focus on North London and surrounding areas. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we’ll confirm whether we can take on your project.

06 / Start your project

Good work starts
with a conversation.

Speak to Renaldo and Emi, co-founders of R&E Construction. Tell us what you need, where the property is and when you’d like to get started.
