    Recommended!

    Posted 05 March

    Steven came to replace our existing skirting boards, but it turned into a larger job when he unearthed some issues with our flooring and joists. He was extremely helpful and was able to diagnose and fix our floor issues, and give us some advice on how to remedy the damp issues. And the new skirting looks great! Very friendly guy, couldn't do enough to help! We'll happily have him back for more jobs in the future.

    Efficient, hardworking and effective

    Posted 28 February

    Some of our internal doors have been damaged for some time and we finally agreed that we needed a specialist. Steve was available on a Saturday which was a real blessing and came with an equally hard working, competent co-worker. Both did all they could for our doors, giving excellent advice and replacing parts as necessary at minimum cost and maximum efficiency.

    A great experience. Steve responded to the initial request literally within seconds and by the end of the day had visited our property and completed the job. Very quick and we are very happy with the work

    Professionals that take pride in their work

    Posted 10 January

    Steven and Matt did an amazing job hanging 5 new doors for us; fixed and replaced the skirting boards in the kitchen; built a new kitchen cabinet where we used to have an appliance, added wooden trim to a room, and fixed some nagging doors. They were professional, tidy, and very efficient. We recommend their talents and we will use them again in the future.

    Door shaving/hanging

    Posted 29 December 2025

    I recently had new carpets fitted and needed the doors shaving and re hanging. Steve was quick to get back to me to arrange to come and do the work. He did a fab job and explained everything clearly. He's also going to help with some other jobs we need doing. Great communication and work, highly recommend 😀
