latest reviews
We recently had a new french door and window fitted, the quality of the window and door are excellent, it seemed a shame to paint them and hide the wood's natural finish. The team were pleasant and hard working.
A very good bathroom refurbishment done on time at a reasonable price in a very polite and courteous manner.
Roy and Steve did an excellent job replacing my old guttering and facias. They were cheerfull and polite and tidied up after the job was completed. I would highly recommend them.
Have used for several jobs, fitted kitchen, outside gates and internal doors. Excellent service and very professional.
We had a problem with some interior doors sticking. I found Roy through this website and emailed him for a quote. He came really quickly once we asked him to do the job and sorted all the doors out - they are a pleasure to use now. He charged the amount that he had quoted and we would definitely use him again and recommend him to others.
Had just a small bread and butter job for Roy to do this time but it was swiftly dealt with, no mess left behind and everything back to good as new.
Excellent job fitting our new fencing. Friendly, organised, punctual, reliable, hard working, overcame challenges, cleaned up after. We would definately use them again. Chris, Admaston.
Decking work was carried out quickly and efficiently with an excellent result.
I needed fitted wardrobes moving into a spare bedroom with new doors and handles. Roy quoted me a fair price and the time it would take to do the job. He was spot in with both and made an excellent job with good quality materials. Roy even came back to add an additional wardrobe from scratch when I decided I wanted to extend the wardrobes along one wall. Roy is efficient and professional and I would highly recommend his services.
Received fast, clean and efficient work from Roy and would recommend

Very professional and thorough service from quote to completion. Friendly and attentive to customer needs.
Having waited 2 years for us to make up our minds as to what we wanted Roy has just built a wardrobe in our bedroom using reclaimed doors to match the style of the house. The end result is just fantastic - better than we could have imagined or hoped for!! And all with minimal fuss, mess and done in super quick time!! Thanks Roy - you're an absolute star!!

Roy did an excellent job on my kitchen. Thanks - a good job done.
After looking all over for a shelving unit to go in my kitchen where the old boiler used to be I gave up and asked Roy. I told him what I wanted and he did a perfect job. I'm thrilled.
