Fit an internal stud wall and plaster ready for decorating
Supplied and fitted an internal stud wall with door frame and door, and then plastered it ready for decorating. Work carried out to a very high standard in a very efficient manner. Was told the job would take 2 days, all the carpentry finished on day one and then plastering completed by midday on day two. Would happily use Phil and his team again, highly recommended.Verified reviewerJob location: KT12RTom C10 General Building

Brilliant team - new garden room
PJL are brilliant. We’ve been thrilled with the work the team have done taking down our old shed and replacing it with a lovely new garden room. The team takes great pride in their work - always suggesting options, working to a very high standard and never cutting corners. PJL kept up really good communication throughout. They managed subcontractors and made it all feel pretty seamless. They kept the project within cost and when we discussed changes, PJL were always fair and reasonable. We would 100% recommend PJL and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for future projects.Verified reviewerJob location: KT210 General Building

Timber porch repair
Phil and a colleague repaired our front timber porch, cutting out rotten timber and making a new cill piece. Tied in neatly to the rest of the porch. Phil was responsive and delivered the work in good time. Thank youJob location: KT6RGeorge D9.67 Builder

Shed / deep freeze room.
My shed leaked filling my wellingtons with water. PJL quoted for a rebuild. Rubbish went in a skip. The resulting building was wired up, insulated and looks as if it is part of the house. The project was very competently managed. We are extremely satisfied with the result.Verified reviewerJob location: KT229.67 Period Property Restoration

Excellent work and pleasant to have in our house too
Phil and Leo did a really excellent job, from the initial contact through to completion. They beat competitors by immedialtey convincing us of their interest in preserving what could be preserved of our (1913) windows and door, changing only what was needed to improve insulation and make it secure. They appeared to be and were, trustworthy They had made and painted windows in the workshop and everything fitted and all went smoothly. Painting and finish was excellent There were some unexpected bits which they just got in with, no hassle. The result is exactly what we wantedVerified reviewerJob location: KT110 Builder

Bespoke carpentry and painting
We can not praise Phil and his team highly enough. Totally reliable, friendly, trustworthy and tidy. Nothing was too much trouble, no problem too difficult to solve and everything was done to the highest standards and in budget. Phil is an excellent craftsman with a creative eye for detail and understanding of working on an old property such as ours. Highly recommended.Verified reviewerJob location: KT7
