    Roof work - great job!

    Posted 31 May

    Steve did a great job, repointing my chimney and replacing broken roof tiles. He worked in a Tidy fashion and cleaned up after, and I am really pleased with the finished result.

    Bathroom Refurbishment

    Posted 25 May

    I’m really pleased with the bathroom refurbishment completed in March. The work was done to a high standard, with great attention to detail, and the finish looks excellent. The builder was reliable, professional, and easy to deal with throughout the job. I’d happily recommend them to others.

    Needing a reno? Look no further.

    Posted 16 November 2025

    Steve was recommended to us by a local estate agent. He was spot on as Steve and his team turned out to be a great find. From the get go, Steve was friendly, positive, thought around problems and offered solutions that balanced style with practicalities and costs. Our project was pretty big: two knock throughs, re-plastering and complete decoration, new (internal and external) doors, new windows and the installation of bathrooms. He also fixed problems with a leaky roof, an ancient plumbing system and some drain issues. We’re delighted to be able to recommend Steve.

    Garden Patio Refirbishment

    Posted 20 September 2025

    A great job done. Understood exactly what we wanted ( patio relaid, brick work repainted etc), and planned in with us to create minimal impact on the day to day part of family life. The job did uncover a few issues, but they were resolved swiftly and efficiently - no corners cut. It's clear there is a pride and quality in their work.
