Ian fitted our kitchen and I would happily have him back to do other jobs that we have planned around the house. Ian has done an accurate and quality job for a very reasonable price compared to other quotes we received. He also has helped us save money and got in touch with suppliers who could provide us quality products at a cheaper price to what we paid. Overall I'm delighted with my kitchen and if I get a chance I will be using Ian again.

Matt's team did a full slate re-roof for me including removing a chimney stack and fitting a velux window. Matt replies quickly to emails and texts with clear answers. Matt and his team were very polite and considerate at all times. All of the details were done as I asked and nothing was too much trouble. The job has been done to a very good standard and the price was very reasonable (in the middle of the 3 quotes I got, I chose Matt's company as I felt comfortable dealing with him)
