David Owen - Image 1 "We’re absolutely delighted with our renovation. Chris and his team did a really great job, we feel like we’re living in a new house! We booked Chris having read reviews and checked him out online. Everything we read has been accurate and we want to add to his 5* collection as we are very happy to recommend him. Apart from the quality of work from his team - which is excellent, what most impressed us was his communication. Chris is a builder that replies to every message/ voicemail. He checks in either in person or over the phone every day so you know which tradesman is in and what the plan is for the day. He organises his team really well and the guys are great and highly skilled. The carpenter built our media wall from scratch using mocked up AI pictures that we provided, he also fitted our staircase from pictures we showed him. Chris has excellent contacts across the industry so put us in touch with them for additional purchases including the quartz worktop."

"Full house refurbishment Chris and his team's results have been amazing! The project entailed a complete refurbishment of my four bedroom house. Tasks covered included a full rewire, new windows and doors, new Vaillant boiler and radiators installation, three new bathrooms, stunning new kitchen, new flooring throughout, full decoration, a new alarm system plus CCTV. The team have immaculately transformed my house into a beautiful, modern home. Chris's ideas, advice, knowledge and expertise were exceptional and I feel lucky to have crossed paths with him."
