    Perfect Bathroom Refit

    I have had my bathroom completely refitted this week and I couldn't be happier. Such attention to detail, always making sure I was happy with every decision, top quality work, very well planned, flexible to meet all my requirements and Daren and Jack worked hard and so well as a team. Definitely reliable, trustworthy, great communication and I would highly recommend them and hope to use them again.

    Excellent work from two very lovely people

    Daren and Jack fitted our new bathroom in March 2026. They were professional, knowledgeable, skilled, curtious, and great at communicating the stages of work. We could not fault them. Daren gave us great advice and kept in touch prior to the works starting. They also finished a day earlier than expected and were super efficient. I would welcome them back to work on our house any time, they were such a pleasure. We are very grateful 🙏

    DRS Carpentry...professional, skilled, reliable and reasonable charges. We recommend.

    We were luckily enough to be recommended to Daren (DRS) by It is a family company and both Daren and his son were extremely considerate, professional and reliable. Communication was very good, they always arrived when they had said and worked quickly and tidily so the impact on us was minimal. \the results were excellent and we are very pleased.

    Bathroom Renovation

    Daren & Jack were brilliant from start to finish, I would really recommend them if you require a bathroom renovation. Nothing was too much trouble for DRS, even changes to the pre-agreed work on day 3, which I normally find is problematic with other tradesman in the past, Daren was like no like no problem we will get that done. Daren & Jack always cleaned up at the end of each day and genuinely top blokes and trustworthy in your home. I will definitely use them again for any additional work.

    New bathroom installation

    I highly recommend DRS. They removed and fitted a complete new bathroom, which included laying new tiled flooring and tiling the bathroom throughout. They were committed to the job from start to finish working very hard. They are very professional, polite and trustworthy. They finished the job to a very high standard and I will be using them again for more work in the future.
