David was my first choice for our bathroom refits from our first meeting. As other reviews have said, not the cheapest but not the most expensive either and definitely worth the wait (he will have a waiting list, but get yourself on there!) He is a perfectionist with an eye for detail and if you're not happy with anything, he has ideas up his sleeve! He is a pleasure to have working in your home and will produce beautiful results for you. He communicates well and you know what is happening if subcontractors (electrician and plasterer) are coming. Poor David had the unenviable task of having to break our job into parts because of lockdown and left us with a functioning (if not fully finished) bathroom to be able to utilise until he was able to return and finish the job to his meticulously high standards. We are very happy with the results and I smile every time I go in. Definitely worth the wait, and I'll miss our chatting!

David de Mestre, came recommended to us and how delighted are we by that, we had just bought a old run down 2 bedroom flat with the view of completely renovating it, we were introduced to David who gave us fantastic ideas how to modernise the bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and living area some of the intelligent solutions that David came up with making a small kitchen look not only good but practical and modern with all the new appliances, the bathroom was transformed from a old sleepy bath to a lovely modern shower room, the bedrooms are modernised and David has somehow made the rooms look bigger. The Living room is just a pleasure to sit and relax in with the new lighting and electrical heaters David worked through the difficult times of the beginning of Covid and was able, not only to deliver on time but within budget. Everything has been finished to a very very high standard with a fine eye for detail. I would not hesitate to recommend David de Mestre of Inspired restoration Ltd. in fact please contact me it would be my pleasure

As soon as I met David I knew he was the man for this job! Despite me changing the plan at the 11th hour the work was completed to the agreed budget and within the anticipated timescale. David has a keen eye for the detail in his work and everything was finished to a very high standard. He is very creative and is able to bring outline ideas to life whilst ensuring everything is practically fit for purpose. I would have no hesitation in recommending David's work

We're really pleased with our new shower room. We wanted a badly water damaged floor replaced, a bath swapped for a shower cubicle and the room fully refurbished. David carried out the work beautifully. He was mindful of our budget, had some good ideas and was careful with small details. All completed to a very high standard - would certainly have him back.

Over the moon with the work done by David. Real quality professional job from start to finish, couldn't ask for more.

Excellent work from start to finish. David provided great advice and ideas for the bathroom re-fit. He worked efficiently, keeping mess to a minimum. Very happy with the work done on the bathroom and would highly recommend Inspired Restorations. I'd definitely hire David again for any further projects in the house. The work came under budget too, by several pounds (January sales).

David renovated our bathroom for us last year, and we were keen to have him back again to do the kitchen this year. Just finished the job to his usual high standard and was again a pleasure to have around in our home. All projects always seem to throw up new decisions to be made and the occasional unforeseen problem to overcome (particularly on older houses) and David is excellent at navigating through these - suggesting intelligent solutions, and discussing and communicating clearly and professionally.

David has recently completed the complete transformation of a nightmare bathroom (carpeted curved steps leading up to a corner bath tucked into low ceiling-space) into a lovely shower room complete with airing cupboard (including heating). From the very first contact when David asked me for photographs of the space so that he could start thinking before he visited he has provided options of potential solutions, listened to what my requirements and reservations were and suggested novel ways to solve the myriad of challenges that my bathroom provided along the way. Throughout the process he consulted me whenever there was a question or issue in order to make sure that the end result was what I wanted. He tidied up at the end of every day and kept me updated with where we were in the process. I would very happily recommend David and his work. The final result exceeded my expectations and came in on budget.

We chose Restorations Oxford Ltd for our bathroom restoration because they came highly recommended (including by one customer who was happy to show us round the first-class job they had done on her bathroom). We had had a design prepared before David de Mestre, the proprietor of Restorations Oxford, became involved in the project. However, some aspects of this had not been entirely resolved. David is an excellent listener and very good at translating the customer’s requirements into suggested solutions; so he worked with us to improve the design – input which was invaluable. During the project he involved us in all aspects of the decision making, making clear the various options that were available. David carried out most of the work himself and the quality of what was done confirmed that he is a perfectionist. David delivered a very reliable and high-quality service throughout. We are very satisfied with the end-product and would have no hesitation in recommending this company’s services.

I highly recommend David de Mestre of Inspired Restorations. He offers an incomparably high standard of workmanship, technical expertise, design flair and professionalism. David has just completed renovating a bath/shower-room in our late nineteenth century terrace house and has transformed a rather tired space into an attractive modern bath/shower room whilst sensitively accounting for its context in a late Victorian house. He carried out the work himself, except for the plastering and electrical work which was completed by his sub-contractors to his same rigorous standards. He closely consulted us through out the project ensuring that every feature met or exceeded our expectations on budget - his insightful technical and design advice was invaluable. Thoughtfully, at the end of each day’s work, the workspace and access routes were left impeccably tidy. It was a pleasure to have David undertake the project, which is reflected by the outstanding recommendations of all the other reviewers on the Which Trusted Traders website. Unsurprisingly, you may have to wait a few months before David can fit you into his customer schedule, but it is very definitely worth the wait. Contact David if you would like to see the project he undertook for us.
