Moving of internal steps, new front door and frame, repairs to floor joists and other general carpentry

I live in a Victorian house and Lofthouse did a really good job of retaining the integrity of my home whilst creating character. They were a pleasure to have around and really great problem solvers. They were also really efficient and completed everything to a very high standard. I couldn't recommend them highly enough and would definitely use them again.

Came within the hour of contacting them with our problem. Super-efficient, friendly and a pleasure to have around. Wouldn't accept extra money even though the work took longer than expected. Would definitely use Lofthouse again and would not hesitate to recommend it to friends/family.
