Highlights
"Archie and his fellow tradesmen fitted a new kitchen and bedroom cupboard in our son's house. We are all absolutely delighted with the result! They were a pleasure to work with and were in contact with us at all stages of the work,keeping us updated at all times. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend them."
"Very pleased with my fitted wardrobes completed by Aidan and Archie. The whole process from planning to fitting was seamless. They arrived punctually, and answered any questions asked to support the decision process. They tidied up after the work was completed. One of the doors arrived damaged, this has been reordered and will be fitted on arrival. Will definitely be using their services again. Thank you"
"We're very pleased with our new bathroom. Archie has been fantastic from the design right up to completion. Archie & Aidan have done a wonderful job and always left everywhere clean and tidy. We would definitely recommend to anyone."

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
