    4 new doors fitted

    Posted 11 December

    In a nutshell the perfect tradesman. I listed the job and within hours Steve had contacted me and arranged for a site visit to see the job. Turned up exactly as promised, showed us how to get better quality doors for a lower price and quoted the same night. We were happy with his quote and arranged for him to do the job. They kept in communication throughout, turned up on time as arranged, did a thoroughly professional job and were courteous, polite and explained everything that cropped up and solved the problems as they went. Brilliant service. very highly recommended.

    Repair/replace floorboards

    Posted 03 December

    After struggling to get quotes Steve contacted me asap to arrange to come and see what I required. He then explained what needed doing and got back to me with a quote the same day. He came the following day to do the work and has done a fab job. Great communication and quick turnaround. Very reasonable quote and have discussed potential other jobs which Steve was very helpful in giving advice. As a female getting quotes can sometimes be difficult but Steve explained everything and nothing was too much trouble. Great service and even our sometimes cautious puppy 🐶 loved him.
