SH Carpentry & Construction Limited

I had quite extensive work done to remedy a damp problem. All the works were project managed well by Shane and the workmen who came were polite and helpful. A cupboard had to be dismantled and skirting and dado rails removed as well as floor boards being taken up. I am impressed that everything has been put back so it looks just as good as it was before. The work has been completed to a high standard. All queries and concerns were addressed promptly and I would definitely recommend SH Carpentry.

Charlotte and Shane were brilliant from start to finish. I required a mezzanine floor to be built in a bedroom with 13ft ceilings. They worked tirelessly to ensure that I got exactly the right style of mezzanine, coming up with bespoke solutions to fit my needs. Shane also organised decorators to attend to the walls in my old house, which required backing paper to fill in the cracks. All of the workmen were professional, pleasant and respectful to my property, and ensured the best quality of work. I would recommend them to anyone and trust that they would do a great job. It has reaffirmed my faith in the building trade after a couple of less pleasant encounters. Thank you.

I have been extremely happy with the work done by SHCC. The communication was excellent, and I was continuously kept informed about the state of affairs of the project. The initial goal of removing an internal wall expanded into including a number of additional projects (damp proof course, plastering, decorating etc). Throughout the period Charlotte and Shane were wonderful in rapidly keeping in touch with me. I really felt as if thy were trying to do things at as high a standard as they would expect in their own house. All of the team members that I dealt with were careful and tidy and a pleasure to deal with. I can very highly recommend the entire SHCC team!

Had a great team doing the work. Charlotte and Shane have been always helpful and pleasant. Harry and Malcolm did a great professional job being very helpful and advised us what was going on all the time. Would recommend this company very highly. Thanks.

Right from the start Charlotte had her team organised and working fast. They had to find the cause of persistent damp, and treat it. This had been attempted by two other well known companies. I was kept informed, even when the news wasn't good. Harry and Malcolm were also reliable and organised. This is a company that I would not hesitate to recommend to friends, and I will call on them next time I need a good job done.

We moved into a new house four years ago and have used SH C&C for various jobs to help personalise our house into a home. They have completed several carpentry jobs; bathroom cabinets, shelving in Utility Room and Airing Cupboard, built-in cupboard in downstairs toilet, and boarding of loft and installing loft ladder. They completely fitted out the garage with shelving, cupboards and work benches. Shane designed, built and installed a glass-fronted, wall-mounted display cabinet in the kitchen. He and his team are reliable and meticulous in everything they do. The quality of their work is excellent. We have relied on Shane for his ideas, and he does not sign off a job until all parties are satisfied. We have found Shane and his team to be completely trustworthy and they have worked in our house when we have been absent.

The work involved damp proofing a large Victorian church building by improving the external rainwater drainage and inserting a DPC to prevent internal rising damp. The church required flexibility of start and end dates to fit with its commitments and this was agreed through very amicable discussions with Charlotte. Externally, a cement plinth was replaced and an ACO recessed drain installed after DPC treatment. Internally, damaged plasterwork was replaced by drywall treatment after further DPC treatment, and wooden skirting and dado replaced. This large amount of work was completed on time, to a high standard and to an agreed budget by dedicated workmen who arrived on time and left the building clean and tidy, all ably coordinated by Charlotte. I strongly recommend SHCC.

Charlotte was great. She kept me in the loop on everything, sending me pictures of what they'd discovered about the condition of the structural beam, for instance, so as I could make properly informed decisions about what it was best to do, even when I was away or at work. And she understood that having builders in your house can be a bit stressful. Even the very nicest and considerate builders, namely Harry and Malcolm, whom I also highly recommend.

Shane and his team have just completed the renovation of my 1960s bungalow. The project included a garage conversion, dividing a bathroom into an ensuite and a shower room, updating the heating system and adding a built in bookcase and wardrobe as well as general repairs to the structure. This was a large project for a novice renovator but the team made the whole thing run incredibly smoothly. The quality of the work is very good and every little detail has been considered. I would happily recommend Shane and his team and can't thank Charlotte enough for keeping everything on track.

I asked Shane if he would help with renovating part of our house which is about 200 years old. The works required damp proofing of walls, replastering walls and replacing old lathe and plaster ceilings with new plasterboard, new electrics with additional wiring to improve sockets and lighting etc, replacement of old timber lintels, change of design to fireplace etc. New plumbing and insulation. Basically a project which involves pretty much all the trades. Shane gave really good advice and helped with ideas and made us feel that we were leaving a very daunting job in capable hands. Between the SHCC team they planned and managed all the trades (including some that we hired in) and turned the job round in a good time considering what was involved. They managed a lot of decision changes that we made throughout the job and the end result far surpassed our expectation. We were impressed with the quality of the workmanship and finish and although it was renovating existing parts of the house it feels like a completing new house. We got regular updates on when and what work was being don so nothing was unexpected to us and the whole job ran smoothly with minimal interruption to our family of four living in the house whilst the work was being done. We are now planning on using SHCC again for the next stage of our house project.
