An excellent job, on time and on budget. I found PM very straight forward to deal with, knowledgeable in all aspects of the trades required, and very hard working. They 'thought ahead' about what was required and made a 100% effort to attend to all the fine detailing. All in all, I can heartily recommend this firm and have already lined them up for additional building works.

We at POW Property Developments are a family-run business that specialises in construction and development services. Our founder, Louis Pow, has built up over 10 years’ worth of experience in the industry, starting out with small refurbishments and now taking on large-scale new build projects. We can manage work on several properties at once, which is why we’ve become the first-choice team for many homeowners. Renovation: - A renovation will significantly increase the property value if you’re looking to sell in the future. - Similarly, a renovation will make your new building more comfortable - It may be that your property has an outdated structure, weak beams and damaged doors. - Rest assured, all the renovated areas will be thoroughly checked to make sure the results meet our high standard. Repairs & Maintenance services: - Heating and boiler repairs - Fire Door Regulation - Leaking taps and pipework - Painting and Decorating - Floor and roof repairs - Electrical Faults - Damp Issues - Driveway, Patio, and decking - Blocked drains and gutters - Fencing - Windows, doors, and conservatories - Brickwork, Plastering and rendering Refurbishment: - Less comprehensive than renovations, refurbishment usually involves making aesthetic changes to property to make it feel more like home. - By working with our team, you will experience minimal inconvenience, as we have the tools and experience needed to complete all work at a high standard. New Building: - We ask all customers to outline their needs concerning budget, desired features, and other essential features. - Going through a personalised design service is essential to getting a new build property that is close to your initial vision. - Cost effective building options - Quality crafting materials - Quick and efficient building process

Hi My name is Llyw I am a qualified joiner and have been in the trade for the past 14 years. In the past I have worked in the joinery industry working to very high standards producing hardwood windows, doors , shopfronts etc. Once I felt my time had come to an end in this role I worked closely with an investor sourcing , purchasing, project managing and renovating property. In more recent years I have been working within the kitchen installation and renovation industry. This can vary from supplying and installing kitchens from many of your well known kitchen manufacturers to installing high end bespoke framed kitchens. I now feel I have found the industry I truly enjoy and take great pride in my work and service I provide. With my background in producing high end joinery products and working to fine tolerances I can ensure a quality installation, finish and product. Due to project managing the renovation of properties I can also ensure I complete projects within the given timescales from the initial planning stages through to completing the full installation.
