Arthur was the epitome of a professional. I’m a solo female buyer, a first time buyer and first time renovator so I was nervous that I would get taken advantage of. I have never felt safer with a professional than I did with Arthur. He was friendly, warm, patient and able to talk me off a cliff when I was starting to doubt my design choices. Not to mention the work was done incredibly quickly and to an incredibly high standard. I would recommend him to anyone who’s looking to have beautiful work done!

James was professional, skilled, and always turned up on time and when he said he would. His workmanship was excellent, and pricing was competitive. He finished the job on time and we are pleased with the end product. The flooring was not completely straightforward to lay, but with good advice from James on how to deal with the quirks (uneven floor, steps that were difficult to negotiate) we have a fantastic end product. Can't recommend James highly enough.
