Dan did some excellent re-pointing work for us recently. He gave us a written and accurate quote and kept us informed when he would be able to start the work. He was on site promptly each day and  tidied up before leaving. He is both professional and polite and I can see why he is always booked up in advance. Also, praise for Riley who works with him, such a hard working  assistant .Highly recommend him.

Re pointing

Dan skilfully transformed our house repointing the brick work. An amazing result that has been much admired 
I have used Dan over a number of years. He is always happy to listen to your ideas and offer good advice His work is always first class.

Great work

Dan spent 5 weeks bringing our garden redesign project to life, and the results were stunning. Very friendly guy, expert at what he does, and even made suggestions to improve our overall plan where appropriate. He has excellent taste, is detail driven and produced a high-end finish. Exactly what we wanted. Work included: 
Terracing and levelling the garden;
Building walls and stairs;
Laying patios (with a bespoke designed path);
Planting trees (including moving two large olives);
Laying grass;
Building an aluminium pergola.
Organising electrician for outdoor electric works.

Master Craftsman

All the work was carried out to an extremely high standard. 
The work was discussed beforehand highlighting the various issues we needed consider and a plan agreed on.
Both Dan and his young apprentice were extremely courteous and considerate and completed the work in a timely manner.
He has a long waiting list but it was worth the wait for a top job.

Repointing Work to a 1935 Bungalow

Dan repointed and cleaned the entire front of my house and has done a superb job.  A complete transformation!  I have no hesitation in 100% recommending him. 
PS: He is also a very nice chap.

Excellent job done

A BIG thank you to the team for building us an amazing walled, stepped, terrace - a complete transformation! Great workmanship, arriving on time, really tidy, considerate, keeping us informed about the build throughout. Even through really challenging hot weather, the team didn’t stop working until the job was done. We can thoroughly recommend them and would definitely have them back again.

Superb job!
