    Mike provided a very professional service replacing my old loft ladder. He outlined the various options available to me at the initial visit . He called on the exact day promised and efficiently installed a new loft ladder. I fully recommend the service he provided from start to finish Ben

    Fit a new loft ladder after the old one broke

    Posted 4 days ago

    Mike made contact immediately and talked through the best approach. He was able to fit us in quite quickly and carried out the work cheerfully and professionally. I’d have no hesitation in recommending him in the future.

    5 star loft boarding!

    Posted 01 June

    Mike and Ash boarded our loft and did a fantastic job. They were reliable, friendly, and clearly take pride in their work. Everything was done to a high standard with great attention to detail. They were respectful of our home and left everything tidy. It’s rare to find tradespeople who are this thorough and easy to work with. We’re really pleased with the result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Thanks again, Mike and Ash!
