"Excellent work fitting a new bathroom, kitchen and various other house refurbishments — professional, friendly, and excellent quality. From the very first meeting Martin and his team were professional, punctual and answered our queries quickly. They listened carefully to what we wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and kept us informed every step of the way. We are very pleased with the results. Highly recommend!"

"Martin was able to supply and fit a new bathroom in timely fashion. Any questions I had were answered immediately. I was also very impressed with his team, who were professional, especially Joe, who managed the team like a true leader. Well done boys xx"

"I contacted Martin a few months ago regarding having the attic boarded out. He came, assessed the job and issued an estimate of the cost. I was then contacted at a later date with a commencement date. This started on 3rd Jan 2024. Tom and Michael ( aka "Tom and Jerry") were the tradesmen, accompanied at a later date by their female apprentice Millie. What can you say? Their workmanship exemplary, very friendly, worked full days, tidied up after themselves, and the result a marvellous boarded out attic along with a fitted wooden step ladder. I would thoroughly recommend this company. I'm sure that I will be calling upon this company for any future work at my property Total A TEAM!!"

"I engaged DMC to update my lounge. Right from the onset Martin was helpful and friendly explaining clearly what needed to be done to achieve the result I was seeking. The costings were clear and the work was done to a high standard and everything was left tidy. One important consideration for me was that Martin and his workers were dog friendly and were careful when they needed to access the outside tap to always close the side gate. Given by the number of cases of missing dogs where they disappeared when builders left the gates open, this was a very important plus for me."

"We needed a lintel replacing in the center of our home due to excessive deflection. Martin and his team were able to carry out the work quickly, cleanly and with minimal disruption for such a big job. Scaffold was erected, the ceilings were lifted and everything was handled with extreme care. While things were quick, nothing was rushed. We are extremely happty with the results and would use Direct Maintenance Contractors again happily (and indeed, we already have)."

These guys sorted out a major leak in my bathroom which needed a lot of work. It was done quickly and professionally and now everything looks good as new! Great stuff, I will definitely recommend them.

Martin and his team helped us replace a derelict Victorian lean-to with a new extension. They carried out demolition of the collapsing lean-to, and built a new flat-roof extension that included French windows, a bathroom, and an area for our washing machine and tumble dryer. They were professional, knowledgeable, clean, and open, with good communication throughout the works, delivering a high quality build.

Martin and his team carried out various home maintenance work for us including roof tile replacements, render repairs, gulley benching repair, kitchen tile floor repair, rejuvenated our hardwood draining board and painting several rooms, all to a very high standard. Throughout the process from quote to completion we were kept informed at all stages, and we are extremely pleased with the work done by Martin, Tom, Michael and Millie. They arrived promptly each day and tidied up at the end. We would have no hesitation in recommending DMC and would happily use them again.
