    Excellent work from Home Enhance

    Posted 2 days ago

    Richie responded immediately and was local to us. He came and looked at the job, gave us a very reasonable quote which we accepted. We couldn’t be more pleased with his work and the care he took whilst doing the job, no mess at all. Very knowledgeable and clearly able to turn his hand to any home improvement job, very roundly experienced. We will use him again without a doubt and recommend him to anyone looking for this sort of work.

Before- Overgrown and tired looking garden. Clearout and build a garden room please!!
After- Garden room, patio and new lawn after clearance of old shed, bamboo and old bushes.
Old houses have great character, but is nice to have a door that actually closes!
New lintel to raise and level the doorway. Then it's in with a new doorframe, hang the door and add the architrave. It's the small things in life, a door that closes with a soft 'click'!
Dining room bench. Using ikea drawers is a cost effective way of getting storage in your new bench.+10

Little jobs you don't have time for? Slightly bigger jobs you're unsure about taking on yourself, I'm here to help. From fixing leaky taps to minor electrical work, putting up shelves, assembling furniture, or tackling general maintenance tasks.

I moved into house maintenance after a sporting career that led me to becoming an Olympic medallist, and coaching world champions. The dedication and perfectionism needed for this has stuck with me. The little details matter! I pride myself on good communication to plan jobs, punctuality and being clean and tidy.
