"Ian and John are a brilliant duo. Carried out 2 full flat refurbishments for me. Both flats were taken back to brick, work including damp proofing, reboarding, plastering, moving doorway, renewed door frames and architrave, skirtings, new doors fitted, fitted new flooring including parquet flooring. Also fitted new kitchens and bathrooms including new radiators and wall and floor tiling. All work completed to a very high standard, nothing that they can't do. Would definitely call them in the future if any more work needing to be completed, very reliable and fantastic at what they do"

"Ian and his team were excellent throughout the whole process. The work has been carried out to a high standard and any difficulties discussed and sorted along the way. They tried to keep everything as tidy as possible even when the work was dusty and messy. Very reasonable quote, will be using their services again."
"Had a UPVC porch which needed knocking down and replaced with brick and a composite door. Ian and john did an amazing job from start to finish. All regs followed and aesthetically very pleasing, nothing was to much of a bother for them. Very happy"
