SERVICES
Building
We’ll knock it down, throw it out and build it back up again in the required shape and size. All the
usual to make the inside of a property, like doorways, false ceilings, stud walls, access hatches
etc.
Carpentry
There is a little of this involved in most disciplines. For example, wardrobes and dressing rooms,
sub floors, skirtings, architraves, panels, boxing, cupboards and units.
Plumbing
The art of getting water to run inside the pipes! All enabling work for heating systems, water
feeds to gardens. kitchens, bathrooms and WC’s. Also gas supplies in the correct size for the
new boilers.
Heating
Design of a modern and compliant system to suit your property and its room sizes. Zoned to suit
the way you live and compliant with building regulations and gas safety requirements.
Electrical
I am convinced our electrician has x-ray vision! He and his assistant will completely re-wire or
just re-light and switch, add sockets and/or change a fuseboard. We will issue the appropriate
certificate on completion.
Lighting
You can build and decorate a property well, but it will never look right if the lighting is outdated or
shabby. We can improve this on any property.
Decorating
Its all in the finish - nothing more to be said. We can also spray for an even better look.
Tiling
All types installed to high standards, including stone counter tops and recessed mirrors.
Flooring
Woods, engineered boards vinyls and carpets. Sorry, we don’t install laminates. They are the
devils floor and not cost effective in the long run. Snobs we are not, except on this!
Bathrooms
My personal favourite. Everyone has their own ideas. We give you that look and make it work for
you or your tenants. We can make a 5000 bathoom look like one twice the price.
Kitchens
As above but with appliances! We have a good team on this and can fit things into difficult space
with lateral thought.
Gardens
Different for owner occupiers than landlords. Tenanted properties need to be very low
maintenance. We can help with ideas and get it done while the messy stuff can be taken through
the property if there is no seperate access. Lighting and water can also be added.
