Highlights
"Paul was recommended to us by a friend, and we were not disappointed. He was absolutely reliable, professional and trustworthy. His work was of a high standard and we subsequently asked him to do more. The job involved knocking 2 rooms into 1, creating a kitchen/diner, and creating a new patio with bi-folding doors. Windows blocked up, walls removed, and damp treatment done. Everything was done efficiently, tidily and with minimum mess and disruption. He was always considerate, as were his employees and sub-contractors he used. No unexpected bills. I definitely would heartily recommend him."

Detailed reviews
We had engaged the company to remove and replace worktop, sink and retile our kitchen. Due to an electrical issue (not their fault) the job had to cease. Despite being reassured in writing and verbally that within three days of the electrical issue being fixed they would return to complete the job and retile the kitchen they have still not returned. The edging strip on the worktop is peeling off after three weeks and no sealant was used on the kitchen sink. Company is unable to return in a timely manner to complete job and fix issues nor will respond.
