    5 Star Service

    The tradesman was polite and professional. The cost for the work was very reasonable and the work itself was of a very high standard. The tradesman was respectful of the property and cleaned up before he left. I'd highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again in the future.

    Superb service, dependability, reasonable prices

    Richard's work is of the highest standard and he is very reliable and pleasant to deal with. Richard did multiple jobs for us on several occasions (installed new shed roof, reattached downward drain pipe, planted a hedge and shrubs, removed a very tricky built-in desk, put up some shelves, rehung a gate). All these were done very quickly and efficiently, and he cleaned everything up after the job was finished. Quality work at a reasonable price from a very dependable and nice person. It is also nice to know that Richard is very considerate toward vulnerable clients (as per earlier review).

    Fab guy! Amazing work!

    Very friendly! Gave me a quote in no time at all 😃 Door shaved and rehung for my bedroom cupboard, extended shelving in the same cupboard and organised custom shelving under my stairs! I'm so happy because now I have storage space! Thanks so much!
