    I’m a repeat customer as I’ve learned to trust their work - electrical repair this time

    Posted 25 September

    This is the 3rd time I’ve asked Castorea to do some work. This time, it was an electrical problem which was sorted by Barry after Stuart put me in contact with him. Whilst the problem, a blown transformer for shower light/extractor fan, was straightforward, parts of the existing wiring needed to be re-routed and replaced as it was a little unsafe in places. Barry fully explained everything to me, showing me the issues, suggesting solutions without any pressure on me to go ahead with the work. It’s all sorted now and the wiring looks a lot tidier and safer. I’m happy to recommend.

    Fantastic !!

    Posted 22 September

    I am really pleased with all the work Stuart has done for me. Nothing is too much trouble and he really is a true perfectionist. I’ve recently moved into a new apartment and needed so many jobs completing from building wardrobes and other pieces of furniture to hanging pictures, putting up curtain poles and hanging curtains. Stuart has really helped to make my new home look lovely. Would 100% recommend.

    Thank you so much Stuart

    Posted 06 September

    From the moment Stuart arrived, he was extremely polite, introduced himself, and even made a fuss of our dog, Barney. He explained clearly what he was going to do before starting, and I was so impressed by how tidy and respectful he was. He laid his tools and bag on a towel, put on foot coverings, and worked more neatly than any tradesman I’ve had before. Once the job was done, Stuart showed me detailed photos of what he had found and the work he carried out. He even went above and beyond by emailing them to me. 15/10 would recommend to anyone! Thank you so much Stuart. Maureen and Barney

    Another successful Solar installation

    Posted 18 August

    Stuart has done work for us before and has always been very honest and reliable. This time was exactly the same and the work carried out cannot be faulted. Stuart has arrived on time, worked in a tidy considerate way and carried out everything that he said he would. He had a well thought out plan and executed it to perfection.
