"Would like to thank Stuart and Jimmy for a great job done, we have a new DPC installed. The wall cavities completely cleaned out which have 120years of dust and rubble in. New air bricks installed and some existing brick work refilled with matching bricks and mortar.

"Stuart and Jimmy came round to make and fit a new shed door. Did an excellent job. Very polite and courteous at all time. Also did some guttering and replaced window frame. No job too small. Would thoroughly recommend."

"Stuart and his son did a first class professional job of building work required in damp proofing our house. His prices were very competitive and he was extremely helpful with other tasks that needed doing that he wouldn’t even accept payment for! He is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced in many aspects of building and related matters apart from the work he did for us and we intend to use him again for other projects in the pipeline."
