About

I started out 30 years ago as a carpenter working on the building sites, working with architects, engineers, i then progressed onto working alongside other trades, plastering, plumbing, tiling, etc. expanding my skills, i now work for myself, i design, plan and complete all my jobs myself. I have found the best thing about having one man on the job i stay focused on the design which does not get lost when you have a multitude of men coming through the door plus the job does not get held up waiting for a trade to arrive.
I have never advertised my business, all my work comes via word of mouth, just ordinary folk passing me on because i did a nice job in their home and listened to what they wanted.
I love my job, it`s just a bonus to make a living doing what i love doing, looking at the bigger picture and putting something forward which no one else has thought of but makes their job just that little bit better, nothing is ever too much trouble at all.
I am very lucky to have worked for some great people.

Steve's work was of an excellent quality. He prides himself on an excellent finish with great attention to detail. Steve was particularly adept at dealing with any problems that our 60 year old steel-framed house presented him with. He surveyed the job in great detail and always discussed options with me when there was a choice to make. He also ensured that he worked to meet our requirements exactly, unlike some companies who wanted to deliver a solution that was easier for them to install but did not meet our requirements. The quote he gave was 100% accurate. Steve communicated quickly and professionally. He was very flexible to any changes, for example changing from a thermostatic mixer shower to an electrical shower. Indeed, he prompted the discussion when he noted that the hot water pressure was probably not great enough for a mixer shower. Steve turned up on time, indeed he worked continuously on the project until it was completed. He ensured that he kept any mess to a minimum and always cleaned up at the end of each day. I would thoroughly recommend Steve to anyone.

Mr. Thompson replaced a kitchen. He understood our requirements and gave useful advice and recommendations. The work was done to a high standard using good quality material. Mr. Thompson is approachable, helpful and explains everything well. The work was done to the agreed schedule and budget. I would employ him again.

Thank you very much for your kind and honest words, it was a pleasure to be able to help. There were many things which I found along the way that were not correct and even though they would not have been seen I could not leave them, if it had been my own house I would know they were there so I put them right and although it was likely over engineered, I know this kitchen will last for 100 years! If ever you need me, I am here.
Refurbished timber doors and windows - excellent job

Steve recently refurbished several sets of timber doors and windows in our property. The windows had been painted shut for many years and he's done a beautiful job of restoring them to full function. Three sets of doors also needed substantial work and all are working beautifully now. I was particularly impressed by Steve's communication when I first contacted him (having read previous reviews here) - he phoned and then came round to provide an estimate for the work not long after I had contacted him, and although his start date for the work was delayed, he did keep in touch regularly to let me know the revised schedule. In undertaking the work, he was extremely pleasant and good-humoured, he always tidied up at the end of each day and his original estimate of the work was very close to the final invoice, despite various unexpected issues arising along the way (such as a rotting door frame and window sill!). In short, I would recommend him very highly and would certainly use him again on future work.

It was a room no bigger than a bath, many men shook their heads and said it couldn`t be done, well, stand aside those lesser tradesmen because i did it! I wanted to give you a second wc and an ensuite with handwash basin, important in a house where the siblings are at an age where they will commandeer the bathroom for a few hours! And, the shower enclosure was a beefy size too! A lot of trades will shy away from a challenge, they prefer the `one out, one in` jobs, well, release the creativity of what can be achieved. Many thanks again.

Fantastic Job Refitting Bathroom and Floors
Customer Service
Quality

Right from the start we had a great experience with Steve. He was generous with his time discussing solutions and breaking down what to expect. The bulk of the work was a bathroom refit - involving gutting the room (replacing the floor and walls), moving the pipe work and fitting the bathroom suite. Other jobs included fixing creeky hallway floors and routing cables through walls. All the work including many additions was completed not only on time but beautifully and to an extremely high standard. What sets Steve apart is his high standard of work and attention to detail combined with honest and considerate customer service. Steves experience on building sites, building from foundations and in all the trades ensured there were no gaps in how the project was planned and executed which you dont get knowing only one trade in isolation. If a wall wasnt perfectly straight, steve would modifying studwork. If a floor wasn't completely level, steve would plane the joists. Steve even fixed what he could of shoddy work left behind from previous jobs such as securing noisey, rattling pipes while the floor was open. As a character steve is a very comfortable, trustworthy and considerate person to have around. As well as a good communicator - not just giving progress updates but also thorough explanations, helping me learn and understand aspects of the job. I can't recommend Steve highly enough and hope to involve him on our other renovation projects in the future.

Thank you for such lovely words, you honour me with fine accreditations, i have enjoyed working with you guys and i will enjoy coming back even more so. It works so well for everyone when people are open with each other and all a tradesman has to do is good honest work to a standard that he would have in his own house so it is not beyond the skills of all men to do this. An air of humility also goes a way so a man does not get ahead of himself and remember, the people you work for, it is their home, not just a job so to be able to create is an art.
Great job done on refitting our en-suite

We waited a long time to get Steve's services. All his reviews were great and we were sure he would do a good job. It turned out to be a complicated bit of work and he had to use all his skills to sort out problems as they arose. He was very good at making suggestions to improve things as he went. Steve would say he is not the fastest worker because he does all the trades himself and he is always looking for perfection, but if you are patient he will do a very good job. Most days he worked very long hours into the evening to get bits of work finished. Keep plying him with cups of tea and he will be happy. We are very thrilled with our new en-suite.
