    Replacement of soffits, fascia’s, guttering and roof slates.

    Posted 19 February

    We’re extremely pleased with the recent work carried out at our house. Darren replaced the soffits, fascias, and guttering to a very high standard, and also repaired several roof issues, including replacing damaged slates. The work was professional and efficient from start to finish, with everything clearly explained. The workmanship was excellent and the site was left clean and tidy each day. Darren is reliable, knowledgeable, and fairly priced. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will definitely use him again.

    Old Cottage Brickwork

    Posted 26 January

    Darren did an excellent job replacing brick panels in our timber and brick cottage. Highly knowledgeable, he’s a fantastic bricklayer. He also helped doing preparations for plaster work and cement work to the foundations of the house. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again for any more work we need.

    Leaky bathroom causing internal damage to dining room and joist

    Posted 19 November 2025

    We had a problem with a consistently leaky bathroom which had damaged the bathroom floor and walls as well as the dining room ceiling and a joist. Darren suggested a method of investigation and resolution. Darren kept us informed about the plan for each day and checked in with us to ensure the work to be done by supporting trades were in line with the plan. It was great that the investigation, solution and implementation was handled via one party...i.e. Darren. We liked Darren's straight forward and honest approach.

Please have a look at my reviews.

I am happy to come to your property to discuss your requirements with you and then I can provide a free quotation.

My workmanship is high quality due to the amount of time I’ve been in the industry.

I am tidy and conscientious that this is your home and you want minimal disruption.

I specialise in extensions & loft conversions. However I normally find that once I’ve completed the shell I can also do a lot of internal work too.

Please feel free to call me to discuss your requirements and if I’m not available I will call you back.
