Highlights

"James was the best! He very quickly diagnosed the problem we had with our damp wall. His employees were all very efficient. We are very pleased with the work done and can highly recommend James and his team. At every visit they arrived on time, worked hard and left the place tidy."

"We engaged James and the team to build a first floor dormer extension (ensuite and additional bedroom). We are absolutely delighted with the result. The quality of workmanship is excellent but what really stood out was the attention to detail and the communication. The team were on site for the majority of the days and James always kept us informed of progress and talked us through and resolved any issues that were encountered. Also James and the Team are all really approachable and friendly - a real pleasure to work with."

"James and his team did an excellent job repairing our tiled bathroom floor, which was newly built just two years ago but, as we have since learned, was constructed by amateurs. James took the time to think carefully about the possible causes, did some tests and then implemented a repair. It has been a few weeks since and the floor is currently holding up well. While it is still too early to say if the fix will work long term, we think James and his team identified the best technology for the fix and the works were carried out professionally."
