We came across Paul and his team just in a Google search for a local carpentry firm to approach to board our low ceiling loft and replace some rotten woodwork around our window and rear porch doors. What a lucky find. Paul fitted in around my work commitments to come and do the quote and then the team descended for a couple of days, not to many weeks later, and completed the work in a speedy and least intrusive way. The invoice was true to the initial quote and the quality of finish, especially the carpentry, was first class. We had approached a number of leading loft companies however, for little more in cost, Paul was positive from the start that the niggles of our old/neglected home could be addressed. We had such a great service overall, we wish we had started the search locally in the first place.

We asked for a bespoke wooden staircase to replace a ladder leading to a loft. The job was excellently designed, and professionally fitted in what were pretty cramped conditions. Excellent work, done in friendly fashion (and well cleared up afterwards)

Great service from start to finish! Polite, friendly and tidy carpenter's, electricians and plumbers who I couldn't fault on communication and their hoovering skills. The quote was very reasonably priced as were the timescales of work carried out. Thank you Acute I will be coming back!

Work completed today so fitting not weather tested. The guys have been brilliant. Paul has been excellent and timely and the lads Jacob, Louis, and plasterer Ryan have been a pleasure to have in. They have been courteous, considerate, and tidy. Completing a good job on time and Very professionally. Louis even took time to wash my car after some tile dust landed. I highly recommend these people and already have done.

Thank you for this great review. I have made sure Louis, Jacob and Ryan are aware. They really appreciated your comments, as do I. Louis taking time to wash your car is nice to hear and feedback like this is always extra special as it shows that my staff care as much as I do. Best wishes, Paul.

The team at Acute have carried out several projects for me in 2020, providing an excellent service. The quality of work is always to the highest standard, whilst being completed within budget and to agreed time scales. Communication with the team at Acute is excellent and they are always my first point of call when it comes to my building and carpentry needs.

I needed wardrobes fitted across a room with curved ceiling and non-vertical walls. I now have a wall of storage built to my specification. Acute consulted every step of the way so I have exactly what I wanted and the result is excellent. Andy translated my thoughts into reality and both he and Liam did a fantastic job.

The rendering to the front of the house involved scaffolding as well as the actual work, hence the 10 day period. It took a bit longer than expected as it had to dry before it could be painted - and we had a week of rain. It looks fantastic! passers by have made comments on how good it looks. One man asked for details so he could get work done.

Work on our house

In November 2023 Paul's team at Acute Homes installed a blind on a hard-to-reach Velux window which is above a staircase. The work was carried out neatly and efficiently by the team - in a matter of an hour or so. They considerately took off shoes before coming into the house, laid down a sheet and removed any debris. Communication with the firm was dealt with promptly and clearly too so we were very pleased.

Paul and his team, Sam and James, did a great job replacing our old leaky velux windows, and repairing the chimney. They did their upmost to fit us in before Christmas, which we greatly appreciated. Paul was very professional, and they were all very pleasant to deal with. I'm so glad we found them, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. In fact, they're coming back to sort out our flat roof later in the year.
