Highlights

"Mike was brilliant and I am very pleased with his work. He was reliable and very clean and tidy. The job involved filling some holes (e.g. from old light fittings) and a lot of making good, which I was pedantic about. Mike gave me the opportunity to review the room with him when he was finished (and he was willing to e.g. re-sand and touch up a corner for me), so I am a happy customer. He was kind, patient and very friendly and easy going - he just got on with things and was very efficient. I'd definitely recommend him."

"excellent job no hassle and always on time and cleaned up afterwards would recommend"

Deborah HCheckatrade5.0 rating

"We were impressed by Mike from when he first came to inspect the job. Easy to talk to and full of suggestions as to best ways to proceed. He was very open about when he could do it all and kept to this word. It was all completed within 3 weeks including doing some other little jobs along the way. The quality of the work is excellent, using good materials and we are very pleased with the results. He offered to come back if anything needed touching up etc. Thoroughly recommended."
