    The job was done smoothly, speedily and cleanly. The workmen were polite and hardworking and finished the job beyond what I was expecting. I am exceedingly happy with the outcome and can't wait for phase 2.

    Excellent and professional workmanship.

    Posted 23 February

    Martin arrived promptly to review the work that I had contacted him about. He came across as both friendly and professional and his quote was very competitive. Martin repaired part of a boundary garden wall that had collapsed. He arrived on time each day and worked very hard to get the work completed in a timely manner. His workmanship is excellent and I could not have asked for a better result. I would definitely contact him again for work and thoroughly recommend him.

    Our experience was great. Very helpful, and professional.

    Our experience was great. Very helpful, and professional. We needed a load bearing all taken out. After an initial setback due to the presence of asbestos in the ceiling, they completed the work swiftly, diligently and to a high standard. They were great to work with, and I would absolutly call them again.

    Garden landscaping and decking

    What can I say about Martin; really pleasant bloke and socially reliable with regards to all the work that you carried out. Constantly speaking to me about his ideas and what he thought would work and what wouldn’t work and didn’t complete anything without asking me first Quality of the work is very impressive and would recommend him for any work being carried out.

Hi my name's Martin Holmes and have been running my business since October 2016.Although I had been subcontracting to different companies for year's previous to this.I've been building 12 year's now and love my job. Main reason of starting my business is that I pride myself on customer satisfaction. I have high standards on any work that I do and believe in the saying that if I wouldn't be happy with the work then I wouldn't expect any customer to be either. I believe in having very good contact with any of my customer's. For an example one of my previous customers worked away in London so I kept them up to date by emailing picture's throughout the job. I specialise in stonework which I love doing.Also undertake any building work as well as hard landscaping.Hope to hear from you soon with a free quotation.Kind regards Mr Holmes
