New bathroom, tiling and joinery.

Karl and Ron did a fantastic job in replacing my tired old bathroom. Works comprised knocking through the former toilet and bathroom, and installing a new suite, including a separate bath and shower cubicle. Ron and Karl also constructed two integrated cupboards which made great use of the space. All work was carried out on time and they were very courteous with a good attention to detail.
