    He is incredibly well priced and his standard is immaculate

    Posted 1 day ago

    Matt gave fantastic service from start to finish, competitively quoting for our media wall, knocking through the connecting wall between the kitchen and living room, plastering walls and fitting shelves underneath our stairs, also offering great suggestions on improving our vision for the project. We felt very comfortable leaving our house keys with Matt to come and go as he pleased, and he hoovered up every evening before he left, leaving no mess behind. We were very impressed with the quality of the jobs completed and would highly recommend Matt for any work that needs to be done.

    Impressive workmanship

    Posted 1 day ago

    MRG installed a fireplace into our lounge. It transforms the room into a lovely homely space. He talked us through what we wanted and cracked on. The structure is so robust and the workmanship has been impressive at every stage. He arrived promptly and professionally carried out all aspects of the job. I'd recommend him to anyone considering any kind of media wall or fireplace construction.

    5star!!

    Posted 1 day ago

    Absolutely thrilled with the media wall that was built for me from scratch! The quality of the work is outstanding — every detail has been finished to a really high standard, and it’s completely transformed the room. Not only is the craftsmanship top-notch, but the whole experience was great from start to finish. Friendly, professional, and clearly takes pride in what he does. It’s rare to find someone this reliable and easy to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a custom media wall or similar work, genuinely couldn’t be happier!

    Excellent professional work provided. Matt communicated well whilst we were planning which products to use. He was punctual, courteous in my home and tidied up when he finished each day. I would fully recommend him.
