“Phil is probably the single best tradesman I have ever used. He is brilliant. A very nice guy and an absolute perfectionist who is very respectful of your property. Very tidy and we are massively impressed by the standard of his work. Would 100% recommend him and we will use him again for some future work we would like to have done.”

Highlights
“The job was to change 2 doors one to a sliding door and another to change the opening direction. Phil was prompt to reply and come out to look at the job. Gave us some options and advice and quote. Reliable and communicated with us exactly what the job would entail. The job was completed as planned and to a very high standard. Phil was meticulous and tidy. Very pleased with the completed job. Would certainly use Melrose again and recommend to anyone.”
“Phill from Melrose laid flooring in our oddly shaped hallway. He did a fantastic professional job. Phill was friendly, and advised us the best way for the floor to be laid. It looks great and would certainly recommend Phill and Melrose Joinery for future work.”
