    100% recommend

    Posted 2 days ago

    I cannot recommend using Bob and Rob enough. They have just finished a 2 week project on our house which has completely transformed it. This included installing new drive way gates, a pedestrian gate, painting the whole house, fixing issues such as cracks and previous poor workmanship from other companies, replacing the roof on our car port and several other small jobs. Rob and Bob were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and competitively priced. We enjoyed their time with us and will definitely be using them in the future. They went out of their way to help us and no job was too small.

    New Patio in Indian Sandstone

    Posted 04 July

    Robert and his team did an amazing job on my new patio, removing the old one and replacing and extending it with Indian Sandstone. Their service was very friendly, helpful and professional, and the work they carried out was of top quality. I couldn't be happier with the finished result, and highly recommend them for anyone looking for a new patio.
