CLAUDE’S TRADESMEN · ABERDEEN
A family beginning.
A better bathroom for you.
We started as a father and son working weekends in 2014. Today, we’re a local team specialising in bathrooms that make everyday life a little easier.
More room to move. Storage where you need it. A shower you look forward to using. We bring the design advice, products and trades together to help you get there.

HOW IT BEGAN
One small job.
One recommendation.
A new direction.
The business has changed since 2014. Doing work people are happy to recommend still matters just as much.
Claude’s Tradesmen began as a weekend sideline for Claude and his father, Ilie. We hadn’t planned for it to grow so quickly.
One of our early customers booked us for a £140 job, then recommended us to someone else. That led to another project, and another. Years later, someone from the same chain of recommendations came back to us for an extension.
Within a few months, Ilie left his main job to focus on the business. Claude was studying at the University of Aberdeen at the time; after graduating, he committed to running and developing the company full time.
Ilie
FATHER & CO-FOUNDER
Having previously run a housebuilding company abroad and worked for a local contractor, Ilie brought practical construction and project experience from the start.
Claude
SON & CO-FOUNDER
What began alongside university became a full-time commitment to developing the business, its service and the way we look after customers.
WHY BATHROOMS?
A small room can make a big difference.
In our early years, we worked on kitchens, extensions, conversions and general refurbishments. Over time, we chose to concentrate on bathrooms: spaces where thoughtful planning can improve something you use every day.
That wider building experience still helps. A bathroom brings together plumbing, joinery, electrics, waterproofing and ventilation. Understanding the room behind the tiles matters as much as choosing what goes in front of them.
Make space work harder
A better layout and useful storage can make a compact bathroom feel easier to move around and simpler to keep organised.
Make daily routines easier
A more accessible shower, sensible controls and easier-to-clean surfaces can make mornings more comfortable.
Think beyond installation day
Our aftercare experience helps us learn which products and methods perform well, and improve what we recommend next.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU
One team to bring it all together.
You shouldn’t have to spend your refurbishment coordinating deliveries and different trades. We organise the agreed work, from product supply to installation and finishing.
