    Boxing in a bathroom toilet

    Posted 08 April

    Chris did an excellent job in building a frame to use our large tiles to box in our bathroom toilet which was quite fiddly. He was very respectful to our property and very polite. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him on both counts

    Levelling floor and laying flooring in kitchen

    Posted 16 January

    We’ve moved a lot in recent years. Chris has always been our go-to guy for each new property. The kitchen floor in our first floor flat needed levelling. A fiddly job that involved shaving the joists and re-laying the original boards so they didn’t lift and creak. Having done that, he laid mdf board, thick rubber underlay, and finally, click vinyl planks. The floor now feels really solid and it’s quiet for our neighbours downstairs. The difference before and after is amazing.

    Chris did a magnificent job. The finish is first class. So much so, when friends come around to visit - I show them off.

    Convert built in cupboard to drawers and wardrobe.

    Posted 05 November 2024

    Chris did an excellent job converting a cupboard to five drawers with an upper area to hang clothes. His time keeping, quality of work, pride in his work, willingness to adapt and alter plans were all second to none. Kept us informed of his whereabouts and any potential extra costs (in the event there weren't any). Entirely trustworthy - he is a man of his word, up front and honest. The conversion he did for us is first class. He completed the job in its entirety, with end product painted and ready to use. Excellent all round, would happily use Chris again.

    Bay Window Skirting

    Posted 20 August 2024

    Chris was very friendly and professional throughout. Our skirting was bigger than normal and when fitting, it posed all kinds of issues that Chris was able to overcome and the end result is brilliant. Great job, great price and would definitely use again and recommend to all.
