Mark supplied and fitted laminate flooring and internal doors to our conservatory. Fantastic job from start to finish. Great customer service. Good advice. And at a great price. Mark was reliable, professional, neat and tidy throughout the work. Excellent workmanship. Went above and beyond the call of duty in all aspects. I would highly recommend Mark.

We decided to contract Hugh to replaster the front room in our normal sized and quite dated terraced house. After giving us a very reasonable quote the job then turned out to be far more difficult than we all first thought, but the end price was still extremely reasonable given the work that had to be done. The end result and work quality is top notch, Hugh is a real professional and totally trustworthy. We will be employing him again for the rest of our house.
