Just writing to say thank you so much for our bathroom! It is now a beautiful room to be in - completely transformed. The quality of the workmanship and the finishes is excellent, and everything was accomplished exactly on the schedule that you committed to, which is such an important part of any building job on the house. As an older house, ours had idiosyncrasies that you wouldn't find everywhere, and you and your team dealt with them all expertly. Everyone who worked on the job was extremely pleasant and professional, tidied up after themselves at the end of each day and were very unobtrusive as they went about their work. I would recommend you without hesitation to anyone thinking of having a bathroom re-furbished - thank you so much for all the thought and work that went into ours. Best wishes, Jo Homewood See the Job...

“Having replaced our main bathroom relatively recently and found that the standard of workmanship was really poor with shower not draining properly, sink dripping onto downstairs ceiling, plumbing dubious, we finally decided to replace it again when water from shower was causing a puddle in a bedroom next door. We were therefore very wary when looking for someone to carry out the work. Nigel came to discuss the job and was very practical in his suggestions. The work on the job was well coordinated and all tradesmen were very competent and efficient. Disruption was minimised. We now have a bathroom and ensuite which look really smart and, importantly, function correctly. We were very pleased with the standard of work carried out and would have no hesitation in recommending Nigel for bathroom replacement.”...

“Nigel was reliable, professional and helpful when discussing ideas for the bathroom renovation. Our bathroom has been transformed and the work, including the successful resolution to an awkward piping issue, was completed to a very high standard. We are delighted to recommend him to future clients.”...
