    Martin was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so glad because he is a lovely man who is very experienced, knowledgeable and completes the work to an excellent standard. He is reliable, his rates are fair and I have already asked him for a quote for a few more jobs at my house.

    Putting up a garden shed

    Posted 12 August

    Review: “From start to finish, the shed installation was handled with care and professionalism. The groundwork. All panels were assembled neatly, with no gaps or misalignments, and the roof felt sturdy enough to handle whatever the weather throws at it. Tools were used efficiently, and the site was kept tidy throughout — no stray screws on the ground . The finished shed looks fantastic and feels built to last. A solid job well worth recommending.”
