    A job well done

    The work was done professionally and to a high standard and was completed within the estimated time . Darren kept us informed at every stage and was prepared to be flexible with small changes that we decided upon during the works . Very impressive all round .

    Fire door install

    Shoddy workmanship, a simple door install turned into a nightmare with poor plastering and beyond shoddy carpentry. Locks look like they’d been installed using a knife and fork, locks drilled wonky into door rendering inoperable with thumb turns. Wrong screws used on hardware. Generally a joke. Had to get a joiner to fit a new frame due to the negligence.

    Hi I’m sorry for your experience and would love to rectify any concerns you have. I have came out on two occasions to rectify any issues you have had and on leaving you where happy. This was a very small job for us and after being in business for 30 years have never had such a review.

    Emergency Builder Service

    Posted 11 November 2025

    Reliable, work done quickly and well.

    Great experience. Emergency repairs to subterrain pipes beneath floor tiles in a downstairs bathroom. Pipes were accessed and redirected to foulwater drain behind the house within 2 days. Team were great and worked very quickly - will be seeking to use these guys again for a new bathroom in the future.
