Testimonials

Extension Redesign

Genuine Checkatrade reviews...

"The work involved: removing one wall, replacing a flat roof, knocking through another wall, removing a bathroom, fitting two new walls, plumbing in a new shower room in a different location and decoration. All this was done with great skill and professionalism. Michael project managed the work very well, as there were several different suppliers required. He kept us informed at all times and was able to deal with changes efficiently. He also accommodated our family circumstances. The quality of the work is to a high standard. I would have no hesitation in using this company again."
