We chose Stephen after looking at his work on this site. He visited on a couple of occasions to discuss our requirements, giving us various options and pricing. He was very clean and tidy, always punctual and we were very happy to leave him alone in our house. He gave us very good advice, was extremely patient with our various questions and was happy for us to contact him once the job was finished should we need any further help. The finished wardrobes are fantastic, better than we could have hoped for. We will definitely be recommending Stephen and using him again.

Highest Recommendation ! Excellent work ! Stephen gave me good advice, discussed options and pricing. He was on time from the first visit to quote for the work, through to the final visit. He fitted in around my hectic schedule, arriving early morning to enable me to get to work on time. Clean, tidy and courteous - a gentleman. As a lady on my own, I felt extremely safe with Stephen and had no hesitation to leave him to work alone in my home whilst I went to work. Thanks Stephen for such a great job !

Steve was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Punctual, knowledgeable, tidy, trustworthy, takes a real pride in being a true perfectionist which is rare. The quality of the work is excellent - our house is Victorian with some historic movement which means very few straight lines to work with. The cupboards and shelves are 100% straight however; Steve left the spirit levels in place each night to prove it. I was dubious whether our rather nice but somewhat warped front door could be made to hang properly before the installation of new locks and furniture but I needn't have been concerned as Steve sorted it out as well as strengthening a further final exit door. We will certainly be using Steve again.

He makes alternative suggestions if I'm doubtful about any of my ideas. I'm sad that he's moved to Worthing but Croydon's loss is Worthings gain!

We cannot rate Steve highly enough - not only was his work and the finished result first class, but just as importantly his approach from start to end made the whole process stress-free. We sought quotes from four different check-a-trade members and not only was Steve's the most competitive, but he was the only one of the four to provide it in writing. We were also really impressed by the fact that he agreed to take the work on even after it was discovered that unusually the door frames in our house are metal which added complications to the job. Steve's reliability and time-keeping were impeccable and it made such a refreshing change to be dealing with someone who responds to calls and texts promptly and kept us well-informed throughout. He also advised on good quality materials and where they could be purchased. In short a really hard-working professional who is honest, trustworthy, friendly and respectful of both people and property. Steve surpassed all of our expectations and we have pleasure in whole-heartedly recommending him and his work and will be passing on his details to family and friends.

Steve is fabulous. We've instructed him to do the following over the last few months: 1. Floor to ceiling boiler cabinet; 2. Fitted bookcase 3. Kitchen cabinets 4. 2 fireside alcove cabinets All his work has been fabulous. He turns up on time and works incredibly hard. He regularly checks that we are happy with the design and then builds what we ask. The fireside alcove cabinets were best since he dealt with our tricky requirements for hidden cabling (and there is a lot of it!). Steve has an excellent eye for detail, is totally trustworthy and best of all, is a pleasure to have around. I will certainly be instructing him again in the event that we require any more work in the future.
