“Chris was recommended by our house painter and was a lifesaver, fitting casements, architraves, building out a completely new staircase cladding and spindles as well as building shelving for our conservatory. Extremely detail oriented and professional and communicated his process and all our options throughout. He was also extremely reliable. We can’t recommend Chris highly enough, hoping we can hire him again next time we need a joiner.”

Highlights
“Chris sourced and installed a new, oak front door canopy for us. Removed the old rotten canopy and wooden door surround, repaired the brickwork/pointing and installed the canopy with roof slates and new door surround. He's done a top job. Really tidy workmanship and a nice guy as well. Pays attention to the details and takes time to make sure everything looks great. His communication during pricing up and running up to the job was also excellent, better than any other tradesman we've worked with”
