    Doors fitted

    Nathan is communicative, friendly, and punctual. He takes great pride in his work. The doors he fitted and painted look fantastic in my living room and passage. We would highly recommend him to others.

    Excellent handyman

    Nathan has done a few jobs for me over the last couple of years from smaller jobs to larger ones. He recently put a new porch roof on for me and also completely renovated my bathroom. His latest job was to put up 2 stud walls and new door and frame to create a downstairs bedroom for me, which was difficult because of the staircase rails but he managed to complete the job including fitting new stair rail. He then painted throughout the new bedroom and living room. He did a marvellous job and he is completely trustworthy. He works away quietly and always cleans up afterwards.
