Reviewed by David on 29/2/2012

Fantastic service from Cristian - was quick to respond to the initial request, I sent him some photos and he quoted straight away, and then was here 3 days from making the request. Extremely pleasant guy who clearly knew what he was doing and from start to finish I couldn't be happier. He also fitted a chimmney cowl that I had whilst up on the roof as part of his original quote. If you want someone to do a great job, will leave the place spotless and DON'T want a dodgey roofer then he's your man.

A personal service from a multi trade handyman. I am transparent with pricing. I am clean and neat and have good reviews from my customers. From a curtain rail, through painting a room, to replacing a tap or trimming a door, or perhaps a list of nagging little jobs? I can help.

We engaged Simon and his team to remove a supporting wall, thus opening up the kitchen into the dining room. From the start, Simon was knowledgeable and offered helpful insight. We were provided with a detailed and fair quote. Work was planned at a time to suit us, and was completed to a good standard and on time. Communication throughout the project was excellent. We would highly recommend this company and would not hesitate to use them again.

Mr Gardner first emailed me with a quote for the job and then visited to see what was required. He then agreed his quote and I accepted. He arrived on time as agreed a few days later and completed the job to my complete satisfaction. I will have no hesitation in employing him again in the future should I need his services as a carpenter.

Tried to talk me into getting the work done then putting in the drop kerb at a later date (pointless as I still wouldnt have any legal access to the drive!) not that I had any confidence in him returning to do the 2nd part anyway.

I am a general carpenter by trade but very multi skilled and been involved in construction trade for 30 years. In the past 10 years l have specialised in the building of Sips panel houses, flats, extensions. I have been involved in more than 80 builds, always personally working on each project. I have taken many through to completion of 1st fix, including plaster boarding and several to a 2nd fix whilst overseeing other trades throughout. The majority of projects were for self build clients. During the past year l have taken on projects for a company that specialise in bespoke high standard garden outbuildings. These are completed by us to a turnkey finish which involves basic groundwork, erecting of sips panel frame, EDPM rubber roof system and majority of internal/external finishing. Before moving to Bournemouth 13 years ago l worked for a local construction company in Windsor who had regular work to school attached to Windsor Castle and many projects on the Wentworth estate. We all had to multi task and support each other, which l enjoy doing immensely. For the past 10 years we have worked mostly away from home and would like the opportunity to find regular local work now as a family team of 2 carpenters/multi trade. We are both hard workers, adaptable to new ideas, and excellent with clients. We listen to the needs of the clients and give a first class high standard of workmanship. Should you be looking for a garden outbuilding to use as office, gym or workshop l can also offer this service to you.
