“John does every job to my complete satisfaction. He does, as always, discuss with the customer, and get to know the plan and works with the customer in mind. I have never seen any workman so punctual, so sincere and so trustworthy. I would say with unreserved conviction - call him first and you won't regret. D Bhattacharyya Newcastle-under-Lyme”

“John has just completed hard landscaping of our 100 foot garden. This involved considerable amounts of groundwork and preparation, not an easy task with a garden on different levels. Extensive Indian Stone paving, building steps with brickwork and composite fencing. He also built us a really sturdy shed. His craftmanship, and attention to detail is second to none and he keeps you informed every step of the way. Highly recommend.”

Would definitely recommend. His repointed our chimney breast and rebuild the support legs of the fireplace in our cottage. He was very professional and friendly. We will be calling him for future building work that we need doing next year. Thanks again
Recently completed side and rear extensions to our Victorian house which specified brick and stonework to match the house, the standard of the finished work is excellent and often draws compliments from passers-by. John has also done a considerable amount of interior renovation carpentry to our house which again is to an excellent standard. We would happily recommend John to anyone.
We had John to build us a canopy and couldn't be happier with the finished result. His work is top notch and he's a lovely bloke who clearly has pride in his work. Can't recommend him enough and will definitely have him again for any future jobs we need.
John put me a patio door, on the back of the house, His workmanship is second to none, I'm really pleased it looks lovely. While I was out, my bathroom handle got jammed,and John very patiently fixed it for me, Would recommend John to anyone !!
