Rebuild of a Porch/extension

The work was of excellent quality, with each step explained beforehand so I knew what it was for, who was involved and how long it would take. The materials were high quality and constructed with attention to detail. The standards of insulation in particular are impressive. It was built as an example they wanted to be proud of. They went out of their way to respect my neighbours and minimise the disruption necessary to get the job done.

Large side extension and loft conversion

Russell and his team are currently completing a large side extension and full loft conversion for us. Russell was recommended by a friend and both himself and the team that work with him have been excellent. There is a lot of work involved including additional planning and I have a busy full time job – at every step of the way Russell has made sure it’s as simple and stress free as possible and has taken care of everything with really minimal input from me. The quality of the work so far cannot be faulted – would definitely use again.

Extension to kitchen

Job involved taking down interior walls to extend kitchen. Great care was taken to make as little mess as possible and to leave parts of the kitchen in place for as long as possible to enable us to continue cooking/washing up. All work was carried out to high standard with good attention to details. Small problem which have occurred since completion have been fixed very promptly.
