“This is the second time I've contracted with Des, and the work was done to the same high standard. He boxed in (and painted) some rather ugly radiator pipes in the lounge, painted an entire room upstairs, and also fixed several broken skirting boards and added new threshold bars to two doorways. Des is professional, friendly, and diligent. He's also competitively priced, and his communication and punctuality are spot on. I will definitely be calling on his skills again!”

Highlights
“I highly recommend Desmond. He was prompt with contact, very accomodating of our wishes (even going out of his way to correct a mistake I had made about colour), his workmanship is excellent and left us very happy with the new addition to our lounge. Great guy and lovely work.”
“Dee Spoke has done two jobs for me in 2025. Both of them turned out well. The first job was smaller and Dee Spoke sourced the timber and materials entirely. In the second job, Dee Spoke sourced all the materials that I could not provide and successfully integrated the items into a unique finished product according to the project brief.”
