Testimonials

The shower room in our recently purchased barn converted property required significant modernisation. We recognised that this would not be a straightforward job as walls sloped badly, corners were not square and the existing plumbing was woefully inadequate. Therefore we were delighted when these ‘difficulties’ were easily overcome through Martin’s keen eye and ingenuity, his attention to detail and his overwhelming dedication to perfection. This attitude, together with his customer focused approach, total reliability, and determined efforts to meet our requirements, has resulted in a new shower room of which we are very proud. This is an excellent achievement, one week from start to finish — thank you Martin.

I first met Martin about 18 months ago, in the course of my work, and found him to be a knowledgeable, talented and enthusiastic general builder. He has done several jobs for me personally at my house since then, including fixing a roof leak, putting up a mantelpiece over the fireplace and mending the broken toilet. He seems to be a master of all building trades! He has always been punctual, communicative, helpful, friendly and above all, fairly priced.

I am writing to thank you for saving me money!!! When you came around to advise on my thoughts in relation to an extension you quickly came up with a cheaper suggestion in opening up more space by removing one of the interior walls and using a steel girder to maintain the necessary support. I have been delighted with the final result, within the space of 4 days you had completely transformed the room including the fitting of a lovely tiled floor.

I am always happy to recommend your high quality work to friends because I know that the work will be completed to a high standard but also with an eye to the fact that you tidied up after yourself at the end of each day, what a revelation. So to all you readers out there if you want any building works completed as pain free as is possible — Martin is your man.

Martin has built me a fantastic new workshop, from scratch, for my dog grooming business. He is a very good time keeper and communicates well with what is happening. While on site he is hard working, tidy and works to a high standard. His prices are very reasonable and always shops around to get the best deal on materials to keep costs to a minimum for the customer. Martin has done other jobs for us and I would not hesitate in recommending him to others. Thank you.

We love our new wet room and would just like to say, thank you for all you hard work this week, you worked long hours on a difficult project from converting our old fashioned bathroom in our 16 century thatched cottage in to a modern wet room which bought up many surprises for you which you dealt with in a very professional and considerate manner.
Martin has a great eye for detail and if he isn’t happy he will go out of his way to correct his work. A thorough professional from start to finish.
