Dimitrios did an excellent job working rapidly and efficiently and very willing to do extra work to achieve perfection
I primarily work on all aspects of kitchen and bathroom fitting from fitting to services. However I have a long history of multi-trade work having completed high spec extensions throughout the years, no job is too small.
