Highlights

"We engaged Phil and team to do a side extension, build a porch and other home improvements. I wouldn’t hesitate to instruct Phil again. His pricing is fair and transparent and the workmanship is excellent."

AnonymousCheckatrade5.0 rating

"Many thanks to Phil and the whole team for their great work, opening up our kitchen-diner and installing a flat roof, and constructing timber framed dormers on our 1940s bungalow, and creating various openings and structural works. They were reliable, flexible and completed the work to a high standard ahead of schedule - and they were happy to suit our requirements for a shell only build, and focused on making things work! We're delighted with the works and enjoyed having the team onsite. Very transparent and easy to work with."

"Phil and the team were great - really good communication, reliable, on time, very tidy and great quality workmanship. They even put up with the wasps that appeared from the rafters - which I am very sorry for!"
