"I am a private landlord not using a letting agent; Richard was so helpful giving freely of his advice, liaising with my tenants to ensure arrangements suited them and completed a large amount of work across two properties efficiently, to a high standard and all within a tight timescale to ensure legislative compliance was achieved. Excellent and highly recommended"

Review by Prince

"I am truly impressed with the workmanship of Richard and Des. They delivered what we agreed for. Speaking of Richard, when I approached him for the electric works, he understood our requirements and even advised of possible improvements. The final invoice matched with the quotes he shared before carrying out his work, so it was not a surprise. 100% recommended"
