Highlights

"Stan and his team recently carried out a full renovation of our cafe in Hove. This included plumbing, carpentry, plastering, decorating, designing a coffee bar, … just everything! Stan worked so hard, even over the weekends to make sure we reached a planned finish line of the job. He helped us arranging space and came up with an amazing ideas when ultimately saved our own money as well. His attention to details was so amazing and he cleaned a space afterwards and genuinely looked after as if his own. We can’t Thank him enough for all what he has done at the cafe. Highly recommend!!!"

"Sten from SDBC has done quite a few bits of work for us over the last year, from replacing a collapsed ceiling and installing a new bathroom, down to smaller jobs like replacing our shower pump and our under floor heating controller. We have always found him to completely reliable, trustworthy and conscientious and he has always done a really good job for us. And, as an added bonus, he's a really nice guy. Can't recommend him enough."

The job was completed as per our discussion with Sten, very clean and tidy, with regard to the repair of the ceilings this was done very well and all cracks were taped and filled accordingly.
