    Rendering: Side wall, replacing slate with cladding

    Posted 4 days ago

    This is the fourth time I've had Paul come to do major work on our house. As ever, Paul explained the work that needed doing, was tidy (very tidy!), considerate, kept us informed about the work and took the time to ensure the work done was of an extremely high standard. I trust Paul, George and Tyler completely when it comes to working at our house. This time Paul re-rendered the side wall (end-of-terrace) and replaced the old slate on the roof that joined this wall and made everything watertight again!

    Reliable, competent, professional building company. 5 star.

    Posted 01 May

    Paul and his boys worked on a variety of building work on our house renovation. Very knowledgeable, competent and professional. Also nice people which made life so much easier. Their work is also of a very high standard (particularly plastering the walls) and they are super tidy ensuring the space is tidied after each day. Helpfully Paul is also very well connected and will know another reliable trade should he not be able to do the specific job. Time wise, they got through a lot of work in a timely manner but not at the expense of the finish. I wouldn't hesitate to have them back again.

    Paul to the Rescue - Thank you so much.

    Posted 14 December 2025

    I would like to thank Paul for coming to the rescue of my elderly neighbour (Pat), at such short notice, to clear a blocked drain outside her back door. After phoning Paul for help and advice he said he would come around personally to have a look at the problem and was here within the hour. Paul immediately determined the problem and the solution and after about an hour was successful in clearing the blockage much to Pat's relief. Paul has done a lot of building work, with his great team, for myself and Pat over the years and the quality of their work is superb. Thank you Paul and team.
