Anthony and Derek are first class guys and we have used them on many occasions for about 14 years. There attention to detail, tidiness and great communication is amazing. Last week we had another job done, double glazing replaced in 2 rooms. The workmanship both inside and out was exemplary and they are a delight to deal with.

Fabulous job done!

Anthony and Derek are the most reliable, honest and professional tradesman we have had the pleasure to deal with. If you want good service, quality work and honesty these are guys are for you. They have resolved problems with our conservatory previously when others have failed! On this occasion they investigated a leak, gave an honest assessment, carried out the repair and monitored before they were happy to complete the work. The result is impressive; you would not know they had several panels down during the work. Their knowledge is worth every penny... they take pride in getting it right!

Honest, professional, knowledgable, reliable conservatory repairs

This is the second time I have used this company(other job was approx 5 years ago). I am so impressed with the quality of work and the way they conduct themselves. A high quality of workmanship & genuine guys too.

Replacement of 2 sets of doors into conservatory

We put a shout out on checkateade, and they reached out directly which is always appreciated. They provided advice on how to manage our situation before they turned up, arrived perfectly on time, worked effectively and were polite. couldn't have asked for more really! 

Very happy.

Capital home improvements were the best trades people we have ever had the pleasure of working with. They were not only professional, they were incredibly tidy and wonderful to have around. They are the easiest recommendation we could ever give. Outstanding!
