Repairs to property exterior
John and his team completed building and carpentary repairs to the rear of our property. He also painted the walls and woodwork of the doors, windows and gutter boards. Because he is so trustworthy, we just gave him our keys and went on holiday for a week, and came back to a fantastic job. As always (we have used John for many other jobs, large and small), John went above and beyond, repairing details we we hadn't talked through but actually needed doing, which was very much appreciated. So it goes without saying that we highly recommend John.

Roofing Work
John and his team did an excellent job (as always). His workmanship is the highest quality and his cost and time estimates are accurate. His focus is always on doing the best job and kept me informed at all stages. The roof leak was awkward to identify and fix, but he handled it without any issues. Access to the rear of our house is difficult and required bringing materials through the lounge but John was always conscientious of protecting against damage, leaving all areas tidy. Being entirely trustworthy, I just gave him our door keys and left him to it. Highly recommend.

Plastering and decorating
John Newbold has helped me previously. I asked him to quote for repairs to a cracked ceiling, with repair and containment of various damp patches (the root cause had been sorted). He did an excellent job from quotation through to booking in the work, plastering, making-good and decorating. Everything was left spotlessly tidy and the bill came in as quoted. I know that I can trust John, with both his experience, attention-to-detail and communication.
