    Impressive work completed

    I needed the wooden floors completed. Phil came along, suggested, and did the job in a quiet and professional manner. I was impressed with the job and he was well-mannered and quite communicative in a professional manner. The job was done quite swiftly. Although he did not ask for a review, I felt it upon myself to spread the good work he has done at my property

    Hang doors and transform wall unit

    Phil arrived by 8am every morning and just got on with the job. He worked incredibly hard and was impeccable tidy! The estimate was much lower than other estimates and the end price matched the quote exactly. He carried out the work to an incredibly high standard- would definitely recommend him!

    New conservatory roof and other items

    Phil replaced a polycarbonate roof, with a new solid timber roof with 2 opening windows as well as installing new double gates, new fencing, a purpose built mobility scooter housing as well as a bespoke Catio. As our house is old none of the walls are straight or true so Phil’s carpentry skills were definitely put to the test. All works were carried out to a professional and high standard, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him and his colleagues.

    Partition Wall Knocked Down

    Phil came to remove a partitian wall in order to put sliding doors in. After a small miscommunication mistake the work was carried out efficiently and Phil ensured it was done to a high standard even if it did take an extra few days.
