Diverse Building & Joinery

Groundwork / Foundations in Ashton-Under-Lyne

An expert builder with over 40 years of wide ranging experience, Gary is also a specialist in structural upgrades to residential properties. He brings a vast level of knowledge and skill that can only be accrued via decades of hands on construction and renovation projects. A genuine tradesman, he believes in delivering good old fashioned value for money and laser-like attention to detail for a high quality finish. This is the profile that my business partner in Bristol put on the website for the building company that we built together. Having now moved to Bolton because I recently married and my wife’s family all live in the area. I’m now looking to start again building another company from scratch and expand my client base.

The work was done well and he even picked up a few things from B&Q for me. Unfortunately when he plumbed in the sink he plumbed the the hot water to the cold tap and vice versa. Also, he left a saw mark in my Ercol kitchen table with a bit of his blood which he never told me about. But then neither did I. All things considered I would hire the man again and have no issue recommending him for other jobs.
