Solomon was great , he’s up there with the best carpenters I’ve had working for me, he was flexible on timings and he’s a real nice guy to boot . Highly recommended

Build my decking

£120

Out of all the people who have done work at our property, the tenants have been most satisfied with Matthew's work. He was professional, communicative, diligent, hard working and friendly to work with. Additionally, there was a small miscommunication from my end, yet he was very understanding and accommodating. He applied a protective coat to our decking as well as some small work around the house. We would definitely use him again!
