Great experience from start to finish. Such an amazing transformation and the team were a pleasure to work with. The lounge looks first rate and we cant wait to show it off.
Verified by CheckatradeLounge Knock Through.
Jobie and his team did an excellent job on completing a lounge knock through for me and this involved getting steel work put in place and building regulations to be signed off. I knew it would be messy and involved a lot of moving furniture but his team dealt with it very professionally and tidied up all the mess at the end of every day and I was very impressed with the end result and they even did some additional plastering for me to make good some old ceilings. I would highly recommend Direct Construction services for this type of work.

Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
