Here are a few examples of work we have completed recently for satisfied customers:

 

preparation, paint and decorating

This customer needed help with the redecoration of her dining room. Rubbing down of the wordwork, filling of any holes, preparing the plaster for painting, fixing a picture rail, painting the ceiling with emulsion, painting the skirtings and picture rail with gloss, emulsioning the walls and cleaning up afterwards! Other jobs we did while we were there were re-fitting the radiator and the fire surround and boxing in some pipework.

 

covering the torn carpet

This lady had a metal joining strip separating her wooden kitchen floor from the lounge carpet. Unfortunately the carpet had torn away from the strip and left an obvious hole. She really didn't want to replace the whole carpet. So we fitted a lovely piece of stained oak across the join instead of the metal strip, much cheaper than a new carpet.

 

a window makeover

These original sash windows were in a very bad way. The wooden sills had rotted and had holes in them and bits of the framework were missing. After a severe rub down, filling of holes and replacing the wooden sills we also fitted new strips of wood at the bottom of the windows to help the water run away from the sills and causing further damage. With the masonry and woodwork painted and a clean of the windows they have years left in them.

 

new kitchen worktops

A hole in the worktop and water dripping through. We removed two lengths of worktop and two new pieces were lifted in through the upstairs windows! In place and joined made the kitchen as good as new. We also fitted isolator valves to the taps so that any future jobs involving turning off the water become so much easier.

 

re-fitting an en-suite

The en-suite bathroom was very worn out and in need of some TLC. The customer chose the shower enclosure, toilet and basin and suggested a new layout. The whole room was cleared, re-tiled and re-fitted with new flooring and accessories.

 

 

building a stable wall!

We've been asked for some strange things but a stable wall was the most unusual! Despite Mick stressing that he is NOT a bricklayer, she wanted us to build her a new wall and make some changes to the stable doors. She will be painting the wall white in her own time.

 

a shiny gate and fence

Some security was needed for the rear garden so this couple wanted a driveway gate and a matching fence along the boundary wall. Access was made easy with a locking walk-through gate, all finished with mahogany stain and high gloss varnish.

 

and a shiny teenage wall

A surprise makeover for a teenager bedroom while he was away for the weekend! The customer had already bought this shiny silver paper for one wall and a more sober grey for the rest. A quick re-decoration and fitting some matching curtain rails and bits and bobs made his day.

 

a new UPVC fascia

The fascia on this garage was black painted wood which had rotted and was leaving the garage open to all weathers. This was all removed, the brickwork insulated and a new white UPVC fascia fitted. We were asked back a couple of weeks later to re-felt the front of the roof too.

 

your own wishing well

Wishing wells, wheelbarrow, windmills! Any design or size of planters for the garden or as a water feature. These are ideal as gifts or to decorate your own garden or patio. You choose the wood colour, the size, the design and the flowers and we will make it and deliver it for you.

 

 

 

box in the boiler

This home had an unsightly boiler hanging on the kitchen wall with pipes all over the place. By creating a neat cupboard around it, it now matched the rest of the kitchen units. It covered up the boiler, while still allowing easy access to the controls, and the lower half of the cupboard was ideal for storing the brooms and brushes etc.

 

 

 

repainted gate

Old galvanised garden gates soon lose their good looks when they become tatty and start to rust. This gate was rubbed down and given a new lease of life with a coat of black hammerite and a little remedial work on the hinges.
