    Chimney breast removal with steel support for stack

    Posted 25 October

    We’ve used Kev at MPI several times now and have always been extremely happy with the results. Kev is hardworking, reliable, and always respectful — a pleasure to have around. The quality of workmanship is consistently high, with great attention to detail and pride in his work. Communication is excellent throughout every job — clear, prompt, and always keeping us informed. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will definitely use him again in the future.

    Very happy with alterations

    Posted 22 October

    Kev did an amazing job altering some kitchen cabinets so we could fit a new oven. The new doors and alcove look like they have always been there. Very professional and fast work. Would highly recommend.

    Extremely Disappointed – Poor Workmanship and Unreliable Service

    Posted 08 October

    Extremely disappointed. Kev delayed our kitchen start by 2 weeks, then delivered poor, unfinished work. Faulty electrics, badly laid flooring, and incorrectly cut cornice we had to replace at our own cost. He’s ignored calls/messages for 2 months. Promised French doors “on order” for 4 months — never arrived. Often turned up after 9:30, left by 1:30, then disappeared for days. Unreliable, poor workmanship, no communication. Avoid this builder.

    Excellent brickwork, very high standard

    Posted 25 September

    Kev gave me good advice when viewing the job, and sent a detailed quotation which was easy to understand. He replaced the crumbling brickwork above my garage door, and repointed the brickwork to the side of the garage. Kev had all the right equipment to do the job, and completed the work in three days. The quality of his work is exceptional. My neighbour had exactly the same work done last year (common problem in this area). I thought his job was ok, but Kev's work is far above that, and far above what I was expecting. Unrushed, conscientious, clean and tidy. Thoroughly recommended.

    Excellent workmanship and reasonably priced

    Posted 26 August

    Kev did a brilliant job replacing a damaged section of the sewer pipe and at a much better price than other quotes we'd had

    Removing internal wall and laying new flooring

    Posted 23 March

    We hired Kev for our kitchen and dining renovation after being impressed with his initial assessment and thoughtful suggestions. From start to finish, both Kev and Jake worked diligently for a month to remove an internal wall, paint the ceilings, and lay a herringbone-style LVT floor. Kev was consistently communicative, keeping us updated every step of the way. He also worked patiently with the structural engineer to ensure that a suitable solution was found for any challenges. We would absolutely use Kev again for future projects and highly recommend him to others.
