    Various jobs: painting bedroom, installing shelving, replacing gate post + repairs

    Posted 01 April

    Stuart was everything you could ask for in a tradesperson. Excellent, clear and helpful communication before the job. Showed up exactly when he said he would, was friendly, tidy and completed all of the jobs efficiently and to an excellent standard. Will be my first port of call next time I have things that need doing around the house, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

    Renovation and decoration

    Posted 21 March

    We've employed Stuart's services several times now and he's been a lifesaver. Moving into a new house in a state of disrepair, Stuart went above and beyond in ensuring the house was in a fit state before we could move in. This involved full redecoration of the top floor, carpet removal, replacement of electrical sockets, new extractor fan, filling holes and general repairs. Stuart and his team are dedicated professionals who take real pride in their work. Highly recommend.

    Repair and paint window plinths

    Posted 06 March

    Stuart did an excellent job on my very weather beaten plinths. They now look good as new. Whilst doing these he did some repairs to other areas which now look a lot better than before. He was always on time and cleared up any mess. I would recommend him.
