Inspired Restorations Oxford Ltd

David was recommended to me by a friend who David has completed a bathroom for and she was so impressed with his work. David is really friendly and professional and kept us up to date about when he would be able to start the work. A previously small unused single loo and sink room has been combined with our airing cupboard to create a gorgeous shower room! The difference is incredible!! David then transformed our main bathroom into a gorgeous haven - including a beautiful bath, shower, loo, sink and unit. It is unrecognisable! We are over the moon with both rooms and so impressed with David’s hard work and the standard of this (and those of the trades he has support from). David arranged all of the support he needed which took away any co-ordination and stress for us. We trusted David completely so more than happy for him to be there whilst we were at work. Thank you so much David! Can’t recommend you highly enough.

We required the complete transformation of our shower-over-bathtub arrangement into a walk-in, sit-down shower, a job which also involved the replacement and relocation of washbasin, bidet and WC, as well as the installation of a better extractor, not to mention new tiles, floor and redecorating. All this David carried out to a very high standard and to schedule. And, off his own bat, he rehung the bathroom door - so that we no longer have to fight it. And he left everything clean and tidy. Top marks all round.

David is an excellent craftsman. He took a couple of weeks to completely refurbish our ensuite: ceiling replacement, wall retiling, reflooring, shower panels and all plumbing. He provided a detailed initial quotation with ideas that fully matched our specification. His attention to detail and flexibility were highly professional and the finished ensuite was wonderful. We can’t recommend David highly enough. Thank you!

We employed David Demestre to do extensive work on a 1950s bungalow we bought. In just 10 weeks Inspired Restorations converted a garage into a study/bedroom; changed a large bathroom into two areas: an ensuite and a guest bathrom; they fixed the roof and insulated the attic; they completely remodelled the kitchen; they built a front porch, painted over the pebbledash, replaced some windows and made the side entrance secure; did extensive internal decoration and discovered parquet flooring under the carpets, which they then restored. Everything was done to a very high standard, and on time, by David and his excellent subcontractors: they were all friendly, highly skilled and versatile. David was particularly good at interpreting our ideas, at making excellent improvements to them, and gently dissuading us from unwise choices! His approach ensured we always stayed within budget, and we soon discovered what a perfectionist he was in all he did. He responded swiftly to any problems or queries, and chased up external delays robustly. All in all, David and his team were outstanding, and deserve 6 stars!

In our experience it became apparent from the very first contact that David from Inspired Restorations was refreshingly different to his competitors. Inspired Restorations estimates are detailed, comprehensive and complete, ensuring that there no hidden costs or surprises upon the completion of the project, but also very reasonable priced. David is a multi-skilled tradesman who takes challenges and the unforeseen in his stride, his work ethic is such that 'perfection' is the minimum acceptable standard. He will always talk things through with you, listen to your ideas and is always happy to make small changes and adaptations during the course of the project. We engaged the services of Inspired Restorations to update our 35 year old main bathroom, en-suite and wc. Our property was treated with the utmost respect, throughout the renovation process, by David and also his sub-contractors - Ben, Rob and Will. We are extremely happy with the end results and 'whole-heartedly' recommend Inspired Restorations!

I cannot recommend David enough. He is honest, communicative, caring and fair. He renovated everything in my 3-bedroom house in Marston including re-plastering, redecorating, new ceilings, new floors, new carpets, new internal doors, skirting boards and architraves, insulating the loft, new electrics, central heating and hot water cylinder, plumbing, gas, kitchen, bathroom and the creation of a new downstairs toilet. Basically, he left me with an entirely new house! He even sorted out the garden, some new blinds, lampshades and a new washing machine so that the house was ready to move into straight away. His quote was very good value for money and he worked to budget. I was abroad during the project. David patiently worked around my timetable, started as soon as the house was empty and completed the works on time. Throughout, he kept me up to date and supported me when I was struggling with decisions. He also gave me sound advice and suggested changes which will future-proof the house. I am so grateful to have had someone so diligent manage and deliver something this important. David is an empathic and caring person who works to a high standard and takes pride in what he does. I would not hesitate for a second to use his services again and would recommend him to friends and family.

We sought the services of David to fully renovate, including open plan, a house we bought in Central Headington. We were impressed with him right from the start with his personality, his commanding knowledge of his trade and his invaluable suggestions underpinned by our wants and needs. The process went very smoothly. He was always available and attentive to requirements we did not envisaged. Throughout, he communicated with us regularly. The service standard and his commitment to quality and details were excellent. The delivery was on time and within the budget. We cannot speak highly enough of him. We highly recommend David.

David renovated the main bathroom, toilet and upstairs shower room in my period cottage, work which could have been extremely disruptive but was carried out with careful planning and consideration to minimise any impact. He was very helpful in the planning process and made suggestions which I had not considered, without ever pushing his ideas. The work was carried out within the time frame and to budget and was of a very high standard. David was very agreeable to work with; I was kept informed of progress throughout and was able to input many small but important decisions so that the completed project is just what I wanted. I am delighted with the result and have no hesitation in recommending Inspired Restorations.

Dave refurbished the kitchen in the cottage we had just bought. We did not want to spend too much so we kept the carcasses and had new doors and a new oven stack. We also reused all our old handles. Dave was great in the planning stage and didn’t try and push us into spending more than needed. We were very pleased with the result. Most of the fitting was actually done by Barry who often works with Dave, also excellent. Dave came on the 1st day and the last day to finish off and make sure all was OK. We are expecting Dave to come and do our bathroom later this summer.

David and his subcontractors recently renovated our bathroom. He patiently support our decision making and cheerfully undertook the work. He kept us up to date with progress and timings. We’re really happy with the finished product and would really recommend him.
