    Cupboards

    Posted 06 February

    Great carpenter!

    Pawel did an amazing job! We needed some storage added into our cupboards, which were awkwardly sized and shaped. And we also wanted extra storage inside our bath panel. Pawel understood exactly what we needed and gave me ideas on how to maximise space. He did an even better job than we could have imagined. Highly recommended!!

    Door Fitting / Hanging

    Posted 24 January

    3 internal doors hung and a balustrade fitted.

    Paul was punctual, did a great job and fit in with out time scales. When Paul left it was like he was never there he cleaned up and took all waste away with him. We will be using him again for carpentry job and highly recommend him.

    Lots of snagging, silconing, taking down a wall and inserting a pocket door.

    Pawel has done an amazing job, and is much more than a typical handyman (he is an accomplished carpenter). My home renovation has a lot of snagging and some builder caused issues. No issue was too big or small for Pawel, he is extremely hardworking, reliable and tidy. I have already booked him in again.

    Fitting a new side gate, a new sink unit and taps, and hanging an internal door

    Paul was very helpful in advising the fixtures and fittings that I needed for the different jobs and got back to me promptly if I had a question. I was very happy with the level of workmanship and care. Will call him again if I need anything else.
