Kitchen renovation
Andy has been great throughout the process, took loads of notes of our request and got a quote together in a timely manner. Always on time and left the site tidy so I could still use the kitchen while works were being done. Very conscientious. Always in a good mood and happy to have a chat but get on with work as well. Took down a wall and changed the countertops and reused the guts from the old cabinets to save on costs. They look wonderful and we couldn’t be happier!Verified reviewerJob location: SE3RDiane T10 General Building

Shower Refurb
Andy refurbished our shower room and repaired the downstairs toilet after the shower leaked. Completely rebuilt the shower room and we are very pleased with the result. He is very reliable and tidy with all his work.Verified reviewerJob location: BR510 Garage Conversions

Best Builder Ever
Andrew had to create a new wooden architectural pillar to the outside of my property, matching one that existed opposite. Not only was this a very neat solution to a problem I had but the craftmanship of woodworking was stunning. I have had Andrew do several jobs for me now and can easily say he is the best builder I have ever come across. Fair prices, always on time, very clean and tidy and the end results are just wonderful. Faultless. I will use him again and again.Verified reviewerJob location: BR110 Garage Conversions

Seamless workmanship
Andrew was fitting a new radiator to my garage conversion. His advice on what size, type and means of installation was really appreciated. He managed to extend the piping from an existing radiator upstairs without even lifting a carpet. Seamless.Verified reviewerJob location: BR110 Garage Conversions
