    New exterior door and log cabin build

    Posted 12 February

    We had Darren and the team back again in summer 2024 to put in a concrete base and install a log cabin with shower room. They also replaced a window with a door into the garden and plasterboarded the shed. Three great jobs, just need the good weather back to go with it!

    Knock doorway from kitchen to garage

    Posted 19 November 2024

    Darren did a great job! He was prompt, knowledgable and explained exactly what was involved. He tidied up any mess and kept us informed as to what he’d done and when he’d be back to finish the job. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants work done.

    Major renovation works to old stone house

    Posted 09 October 2024

    Darren and his team have been a godsend in terms of fixing damp problems and issues with a house that was derelict for 4 years. Work was swift, effective and good value. Communication was excellent in terms of both work issues and curtesy. I have no reservations in recommending Darren, Jim and George. They worked for over four months and I am booking them back for a bathroom refit.

    Large kitchen extension and significant hard landscapung

    Posted 15 May 2024

    Darren and his team, George and Jim, today left our property for the final time. They started in October, battling incessant rain, to build for us a large kitchen/dining room extension on the rear of our bungalow in Hambridge. The project continued into complete transformation of our back garden. The rain persisted, but they cleared and totally landscaped a large area of what had been an overgrown jungle of foliage. Inside and outside look amazing, and really need to be seen to be appreciated. They were brilliant to have on site and we would not hesitate to recommend them.

    Kitchen/Dining Room extension

    Posted 03 February 2024

    We are nearing the end of a sizeable rear extension to our bungalow in Hambridge. Darren and his team - George and Jim - have been completely honourable and trustworthy throughout the build. We gave Darren a brief, he set to work, co-ordinated the necessary trades, and the result is amazing. Really decent people to have on site - we shall miss them when they're gone!

    Wall ties and building works for oil tank removal

    Posted 06 October 2023

    We were in a very long and drawn out purchase of a property which was becoming very painful. Thank goodness we found Darren as he was able to get a very complicated gable wall secured on an old thatched cottage that helped us get nearer to completion. At the eleventh hour we needed an oil tank moved to complete, Darren rang us when hearing about it and managed to sort out a replacement within 48hrs. To say we were grateful is an understatement! We have a big renovation ahead of us and would not consider anyone else!
