  Cut wall opening bigger, Instal lintel and close cavity with brick work sides and bottom as instructed

  Although lintel installed, I wanted and instructed for more than 'the minimum over lap' for greater strength this was not done. Wall cut was not straight, cavity was not closed as instructed by brick (a plastic cover was used, (not what I asked for) ) brick work on inner wall not even left remotely straight or in line with outer wall. I have spent many days correcting this so it has parallel side walls or my door will not fit properly and securely.

  Response from D.C.L Home & Garden Improvements

  Plastic cavity in-closer was used as that what building control wanted. Not bricks turned to leave cavity closed. It wasnt minimum over lap it what was required by building control. Would of made it unsafe if more bricks were taken out above. Building control passed the lintel to be safe. The inner brickwork didn’t get touched by me or Ian as that’s we’re the window was taken out and you was happy with the width of the inner line/wall. You was more then happy with the job I even came the next day to clean up again after dust had settled but you insisted not to worry you had it under control. We had to cut out a section on brickwork which would of made dust.

  Removal of wall, remove old doors and brick up. Cut new doorway, raise floor 140 mm

  Dan turned up and was very polite. Quote came through when he said it would, price was agreed Then Dan and Ian turned up and started the work on the day agreed and finished the job on the day agreed. Both were polite and respectful, made my wife feel at ease. The work was completed to a good standard and everything was cleaned up each day, so very little mess. They done such a good job they are now coming back to do more work for us.

  Recovering of porch roof and replacement of rain shelter.

  Dan was brilliant, he attended quickly to quote for the required work and then fitted the work in a week later, arriving at the stated time. The area was clean and tidy after he left. A genuinely nice local tradesman, and I have already passed his details on.

  Renovating the front wall

  Dan responded really fast to my request. The quote for the wall and investigate the damp on the kitchen wall was reasonable. He was very truthful in his recommendations. I trust his advice. Hence he is now rendering the house, bricking in a window and fitting A velour window in the bathroom. Overall a polite and professional person who delivers a first rate product.

  Installed concrete posts, fence and gate

  Excellent service received from Dan, right from receiving the quote through to the completion of the work. He was reliable, friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend and would use again for any other building jobs we have. We’re so pleased with the work they did.
