What we do

Everything your home needs, from one small team.

Big enough to take on a full room renovation, small enough to care about every detail. Most jobs are handled by one to three people, so you always know who is in your home.

Interior renovations

Room refreshes and full makeovers: new layouts, flooring, boxing in, finishing touches and everything in between.

  • Rooms
  • Flooring
  • Finishing

Plastering & skimming

Smooth, paint-ready walls and ceilings. Skim coats over tired plaster, patch repairs and making good after other trades.

  • Skim coats
  • Patching
  • Ceilings

Wall alterations

Stud walls built or removed, openings formed, doorways moved and brickwork rebuilt or repaired. We will tell you if an engineer or Building Control needs to be involved.

  • Stud walls
  • Openings
  • Brickwork

Garden makeovers

Tired gardens brought back to life: clearance, turfing, borders, paths, patios and raised beds.

  • Turfing
  • Patios
  • Clearance

Fencing & gates

Leaning posts, broken panels and storm damage repaired, or a brand-new fence and gate fitted to last.

  • Repairs
  • New fences
  • Gates

Groundworks

Digging out, levelling and solid bases for sheds, patios and paths, plus drainage channels and concrete footings.

  • Bases
  • Levelling
  • Drainage

Painting & decorating

Clean lines and a lasting finish, inside and out. Walls, ceilings, woodwork, fences and sheds.

  • Interior
  • Exterior
  • Woodwork

Handyman & repairs

The small jobs that never seem to get done: shelves, doors, flat-pack, sealant, minor repairs and odd jobs.

Good to know

Questions people often ask.

Not sure whether your job is something we do? Just ask. If it is not for us, we will say so straight away.

Do you take on small jobs?

Yes. A wobbly fence post, one wall to skim or a list of odd jobs around the house are all welcome. Small jobs are a big part of what we do.

Is the quote free?

Yes. We look at the job, talk it through with you and send a written quote. There is no charge and no obligation.

Can you supply the materials?

We can supply everything needed and show the cost of materials clearly on your quote, or we can work with materials you have already bought.

Will you keep my home clean and tidy?

Always. Floors and furniture are protected before we start, and we tidy up at the end of every working day.

Can you move or remove a wall?

Often, yes. Stud walls are usually straightforward. If a wall may be load-bearing, we will explain what a structural engineer or Building Control needs to confirm before any work starts.

Got a job in mind?

Tell us what you need and we will come back to you with honest advice and a free, no-obligation quote.
