    Fire door install

    Posted 13 November 2025

    Shoddy workmanship, a simple door install turned into a nightmare with poor plastering and beyond shoddy carpentry. Locks look like they’d been installed using a knife and fork, locks drilled wonky into door rendering inoperable with thumb turns. Wrong screws used on hardware. Generally a joke. Had to get a joiner to fit a new frame due to the negligence.

    Response from DM Hilling

    Hi I’m sorry for your experience and would love to rectify any concerns you have. I have came out on two occasions to rectify any issues you have had and on leaving you where happy. This was a very small job for us and after being in business for 30 years have never had such a review.

    Reliable, work done quickly and well.

    Great experience. Emergency repairs to subterrain pipes beneath floor tiles in a downstairs bathroom. Pipes were accessed and redirected to foulwater drain behind the house within 2 days. Team were great and worked very quickly - will be seeking to use these guys again for a new bathroom in the future.

    Excellent workmanship

    Posted 01 October 2025

    I contacted Darren to dig up a concrete floor because of a leaking pipe which had caused a problem with the heating. Within a week, Darren had located and fixed the problem and relaid the flooring. Darren and his team are professional and efficient and communication was excellent. Would definitely use this company again and recommend to others.
