Great team, provided great result completing a snag list of various works

I was very impressed with Smarter Home 4U all the way through the process. Tony was very helpful and quickly provided a comprehensive detailed quote which I was happy to accept. The work involved completing a snagging list; architraves, skirting boards, cupboard door, kitchen baseboards and end panel, windowsills, fitting blinds and curtains etc. The clear legal contract outlined a payment schedule that gave me complete assurance, particularly the point that payment was safely conducted through bank transfers. Sammi, who kept in touch through an individual WhatsApp group. Chris, Luke and Mason were here for two days and were exceptional, really polite and tidy and consulted with me all the time about my preferences. They have done a brilliant job, very professional and I couldn’t be happier. I am so thrilled that all the outstanding works have finally been completed. It’s never easy picking up the threads of someone else’s work but Chris’ expertise and experience made it work. It was good to see that the respect and kindness shown to me, was equal to the respect shown between themselves. It was a pleasure having them here and I am very grateful for their hard work. I have no qualms about shouting their praises and recommending Smarter Home 4U to anyone who needs work done.

Great work, on schedule, friendly professional service

We needed a partial bathroom remodel which the team undertook very professionally. Chris came to scope it and quote within a couple of days. The quote is the price you pay, no added extras. It was a tricky job but they were happy to fit around the other jobs that were being done at the same time thanks to good communications with the coordinator Sammi. Phil the fitter did done a lovely job carefully removing and replacing the tiling and fitting new furniture. He is highly skilled and really professional. I’m delighted with the final result - my bathroom looks like a whole new remodel without the extra expense and disruption.

Bathroom renovation

The fitter turned up at 0800 on Monday morning and began work straight away, he was very friendly and explained how the job would progress and the timescale. On Tuesday he again turned up at 0800 and began working, he told me that the job would be finished in the afternoon and all the debris would be cleared away. True to his word he finished when he said and tidied up everything. My wife and i were very pleased with the finished work.

Great job, would thoroughly recommend

We had a leak in our bathroom and have had 2 different local builders look at it. This time I had, had enough and went out of area and I am so glad we did. Tony and the team were great! They kept us updated, were prompt in providing their quote and then arranging for the work to be completed. The workers that attended were so lovely. Kept us updated of the work required and timescales, were clean and friendly. Turns out the work completed is work we had paid another builder to complete, but this time I am confident that the bathroom is safe and fixed. I'll definitely be using Tony and the team again on other projects.

Excellent Bathroom refit

My bathroom was in a sorry state with no work done for many years. The walls and ceiling were in a poor state and the bath was stained and with leaky taps. This was a complete refit with bath, sink, vanity cabinet, tiles and ceiling boards flooring and plaster removed. All were replaced. I am delighted with the result, it has exceeded my expectations. The detailed finishing means there are no areas without a very good look. All staff were friendly and kept me informed of their schedule

Great chap, very reliable

Tony and his team responded promptly to our request to come out for a quote. We weren't sure if our wooden floor needed levelling or even its joists replacing (in part or in full). Tony initially thought the joists might be the issue, but when he came back at short notice the following week he lifted up the floorboards (without damaging them) and concluded everything was in order and no work needed doing. We were grateful for his expertise, candour and friendly manner. Tony clearly cares about his work and about his customers. We'll without a doubt keep him in mind for future work.

Great work

Smarter Homes for 4 U completed a great job installing some lintels which proved to be a tricky job but they took their time and got it right. Thanks to David & Charlie. Sammi is always a pleasure to talk to and kept me updated along the job which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend!

Decking for Dancing!

Tony and the team at Smarter Homes 4 You have done a great job creating a decking platform we needed. The guys on site were great, even the dog loved them. The decking was suggested as an alternative following a discussion around our original idea and it definitely is the better option. Changes were made and accommodated along the way with no issues. All done at a good cost. Highly recommend the team at Smarter Homes 4 You.

Excellent tradesmen - I wish I'd found them sooner

Tony came out to my apartment to measure up for a quote. He turned up on time as promised! I needed an extra stud wall, complete with sound insulation and one for fitted wardrobes to fit between. His guys started when he said they would. They were finished when they said they would be, and what really impressed me was they cleaned the wooden floor properly once they had finished. (when does that ever happen with tradesmen?) There were a team of 3 or 4 to get the job done quickly, and without any fuss. They were cheerful, helpful and polite. Checked in with me on which way I wanted things doing. I was really happy with their work and would definitely use them again! At last, tradesman you can rely on. Thank you guys.

Great efficient and friendly team with excellent workmanship!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Smarter home 4 U when they carried out some work at my house in Cheshire. I can’t speak highly enough of the service they provided. From start to finish, Tony, Chris and the team were professional, friendly, and incredibly efficient. They communicated clearly throughout the entire project and delivered everything on time with outstanding attention to detail. Their workmanship was top-notch, and it’s clear they take great pride in what they do. What really stood out to me was how hardworking, friendly and respectful everyone on the team was—nothing was ever too much trouble, and they made the whole experience stress-free. If you’re looking for a reliable, skilled, and genuinely pleasant team to work with, I highly recommend Smarter Home 4 U. I’ll definitely be using them again for future projects.

First class work

I wanted my attached garage converted to a study and selected Smarter Home 4U after careful research and feedback. It was one of the best choices I've ever made. Tony was very friendly and easy to talk to, and set out all the issues and planning milestones clearly and succinctly. The timetable was followed to the letter and the whole project was completed in the planned four weeks. The work carried out was meticulous, thorough and of the highest quality. Dave, Charlie, Ian and all the rest of the team were friendly, hardworking, and highly skilled craftsmen. After the day's work was done, everything was left neat and very tidy. Disruption was minimal, even when the wall was knocked through. I was astonished at how smoothly everything went, and I had total faith in the team. The quality of the workmanship is fantastic and I am delighted with my new room, which is as warm as toast! For any building work, look no further than Smarter Home 4U.

Reliable firm

This company have been a pleasure to deal with from the very start. They turned up on time, completed the work ahead of schedule and kept me updated throughout the process. I felt comfortable and confident that they were in my house without me present. The work was tidied away each night and the house was left clean when they had finished. The bathroom and work office they have created are completed to a very high standard and I am delighted with it. They have sent all paperwork through quickly. They ask for weekly payments instead of a large sum at the end. I would highly recommend Chris and would look to this company again for any future work

UPVC Windows

Having used Smater Homes 4U for a couple of small jobs, I used the positive experiences to get a quote/fit new UPVC windows and a patio door. The quote was very competitive and the fitter offered a couple of valuable suggestions for ease of use (low handles in harder to reach windows). I agreed the order details. Timescale from order to fitting was kept to and despite awful weather during the fitting process, the fitters were respectful of my property. Minor snags were quickly sorted on completion and I would recommend to anyone thinking of having similar work completed.

Reliable and a good communicator

This is the second time I have used Smarter Home 4U to work on a property in Sale in Greater Manchester. This time around Tony and his team worked on an area of wall on the lower ground floor of the period property including doing some plastering work and fitting skirting boards. I have always found Tony to be reliable and a good communicator. I have also found him able to advise on what he thinks are the causes of issues in the property, which he can then work to address. I would not hesitate to use him again in the future.

Shower room renovation

Really pleased with Tony and his gang. Excellent quality of work, all very personable people, always on time, tidied up after themselves, very patient with my questions, exemplary aftercare to ensure I was fully satisfied with their work. Can happily recommend them. The work was a full shower room renovation, taking everything out and putting all back again: * retile three walls and floor * replace small section of floorboard * refit existing loo, basin + vanity unit * install new shower cubicle and refit existing electric shower * replace downlights.

Garage conversion

Tony and his team undertook work at our house to convert our garage into 3 separate spaces; a store at the front, an office and a play room. I have nothing but high praise for Tony and his team, they went above and beyond all the way through the job. I contacted Tony about the job and he came to our house to look at what needed to be done and was very open and upfront about how much it would cost and how long it would take. We were very impressed with Tony’s professionalism right from the start, the quote was very competitive and compared to other quotes we received he clearly wasn’t trying to rip us off. We agreed to go ahead with the work and it was all done within 4 weeks which was amazing! We were given an estimate of 6-8 weeks but another job was put on hold so the team then focused all their efforts on completing ours which we appreciated massively. The work was carried out to an extremely high standard, the team were very friendly and always catered for our needs in the house around our three young children. They cleaned and tidied the house each day before leaving which was a nice touch and were very accommodating around us working from home. Overall we would definitely recommend SH4U and we will definitely be using the team again for any other work we want doing in our house. Thanks again Tony and team!

Rear Extension

I used Smarter Homes 4 U as the builders of my single storey rear extension project. From the first meeting to get a quote, Tony was polite, helpful and honest. He gave me a sensible quote and explained the process of hiring his company to me. As someone who has never undertaken any building work before, I was somewhat nervous to start a big project. Tony and David made me feel completely at ease and able to ask any questions I had. Everyone who came to work on my build was polite, respectful of my home and friendly. The build went over schedule due to some extreme bad weather over the summer and then waiting for other contractors to finish. Tony and David were on hand to offer advice and help me make decisions I was unsure of. They also introduced me to other tradespeople such as a kitchen fitter who worked to the same high standards. The building work was done to a very high standard and nothing was left to chance. I am extremely pleased with the quality of the build and the service received from Smarter Homes 4U. I would thoroughly recommend them.

Excellent work!

I have never been so impressed with a building firm as with Smarter Home 4U. They were excellent from beginning to end. The job was to improve our lounge by removing a fire place and chimney stack, opening up a wall to fit a French door, and putting in two new windows in the other external brick wall. It was a very messy, dusty business but they covered everywhere with protective sheeting. They were clean and tidy, friendly, and hard working. I was up against a tight deadline and they helped ensure the date was achieved. They kept me informed at every stage, and went the 'extra mile' to do a thoroughly good job. The whole team were great and I enjoyed having them here - although I have never before made so many cups of tea! I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Professional and high standard

The team at Smarter Homes were fantastic. They completed laying herringbone laminate flooring through out the entire flat, fitting new skirtingboards and fitted a new bathroom suite and accessories. The work was completed to high standard and I love it. I really appreciated the communication throughout and updates about any changes or issues that arose.
