    Side extention

    Posted 03 June

    Paul recently completed a small extension on our house and did an excellent job. We had previously used him to replace a lintel, so we were confident in choosing him again. His workmanship is of a very high standard, and he offers practical advice that helps improve the finished result. He is reliable, professional, and takes real pride in his work. We are very pleased with the outcome and would happily recommend him to others.

    New front porch

    Posted 03 June

    Paul built us a porch on our mid terrace. From the beginning of the process he gave us good advice and guidance on the best way to proceed. Once the job started it was a smooth process. My partner and I are both shift workers so we weren’t there a lot of the time. Paul and the trades he used were excellent and the project progressed swiftly. They had a key and left the property clean and tidy every day. The work is of a really high standard and we are very happy with the finished project. I would highly recommend Paul’s company and would definitely use him again. A++ service.
