  Fitted under-stairs cupboards

  Darren is a very rare tradesman. He consulted extensively before starting so that he knew exactly what we wanted and pointed out several potential problems which we hadn’t thought of, and then provided solutions for them based upon his many years of experience. Whenever there were any doubts or decisions to be made, he always checked with us. He was tidy and cleaned up after himself. He measured and re-measured to ensure that everything was level, fitted perfectly and opened and closed smoothly. He would notice the slightest defect and correct it. The finish he achieved is immaculate.

  Removed Stipple from Bathroom ceiling

  I had mould on a stippled bathroom ceiling. The stipple proved more difficult to remove than at first expected, but Darren is so experienced, professional and with all the right equipment he sorted it out, painted and got the tiles shining. Now a sparkling bathroom! Darren also replaced some cupboard doors with silent hinges. Plus a few little jobs which didn’t take long but were a great help to me. Over the years Darren has done various jobs in my flat, decorated and build me lots of cupboards. Highly recommended!

  Wardrobe and creaky floorboards

  Darren did a great job of building an IKEA Pax wardrobe and making it look built into the alcove in one of our bedrooms. He also fixed floorboards on our first floor and some of the steps in our stairs so that they are much less creaky. He carried out this work to a high standard. We are very pleased with the results. Darren was very communicative and easy to deal with throughout the process. I highly recommend him.

  Six Oak dining room chairs needed to have their joints stabilised as they have become wobbly.

  Really thrilled with the work done and the reliability and speediness of the tradesman.
