After specialist treatment for damp in my kitchen left it bare-walled, covered in dust and rubble and with very difficult access to cooker and fridge, I called on Mike for urgent help to sort some order from the chaos. He responded quickly with resourcefulness and sound judgement in problem solving, as he cleared debris and then moved cooker and fridge into the living room and fitted them with a neat frame that included a small worktop to allow for daily essentials. He then restored the rest of the kitchen fitting the floor covering and reinstalling the utilities and cupboards and newly tiling and decorating the whole area to an excellent standard with skill and very hard work. Now the kitchen is a pleasant part of the house. I would recommend Mike's work unreservedly: You can rely on him.

The worst decision I ever made was choosing Mike to refurbish my bathroom. He started on 13th of June and today nearly 3 months later he has abandoned the job unfinished. He has left us without a working toilet,wash basin and extractor fan. The floor is untiled and the tiling he did on the walls is absolutely awful. Please be warned ,never ever have this man in your house to do any work. All I can say is whoever put positive reviews on here for him must be friends or family. His attendance was sporadic,when he did come it was usually after 10am,he would take his lunch break which lasted more than an hour then leave sometimes as early as 2.30. The worst so called “tradesman “ it has been my misfortune to come across,be warned avoid at all costs!! I now have to go through the added expense of hiring someone else,which means I will probably be without the basic needs I listed for at least 2 months considering how difficult it is to get tradesmen you can trust. Update,had a qualified electrician round to check Mikes electrical work in my loft,he left it in a dangerous condition and put me and my family at risk, The man is a danger to people and should be reported!

Mike has helped us fix a number of issues in our house, patching up flooring, bricking up an old fireplace and finishing some wooden shelves amongst other things. He was very helpful, making suggestions about the best solutions and making every effort to make sure the finished work was to a high standard. He consulted us along the way making sure we were happy with what he had done. He also made good some things we hadn't even asked him to do. We would certainly ask him back again for future work.

Excellent professional work carried out to a high standard. Mike has transformed our 3 bedroom house. Old wall paper was replaced with great expertise with paint work and excellent wood work. He has put phenomenal effort to refurbish old patio in a cost effective manner. Mike is very competent, conscientious and believe in good work ethics. He is trustworthy and is very accommodative, even dedicating weekends to get the job done. I strongly recommend him for his multiple skills and would definitely approach him again.

Mike installed an extractor fan for my kitchen: sorting out the wiring from the best electrical point and drilling a massive hole through the wall for the extraction tube as well as modifying my cupboards to make it fit. Mike completed the whole thing to a very high standard and I am very pleased with my new unit.
