Andrew has restored my faith in builders! Andrew’s knowledge and passion for my listed cottage has resulted in a restoration and refurbishment that exceeded my original plans and expectations. Our initial discussion, the detailed specification and quote and the excellent communication during the project ensured I felt involved and fully informed throughout. Andrew’s attention to detail, exacting standards, suggestions and knowledge have ensured the best outcome and enhanced the character of the cottage whilst ensuring the integrity of the listing was maintained. I shall definitely use Andrew again and can fully recommend him for projects large and small.

Andrew took on our project with a no fuss attitude and did an exemplary job refitting new decking to our home Pobble House in Dungeness. It is an RIBA award winning house and we were quite nervous as the works needed real attention to detail and threw up quite a few considerations and complexities. Andrew took them all on and was consistently good and communicative throughout. I could not recommend Andrew and his team any more highly.

Andy did a great job of updating tired old kitchen to a modern and sleek look. Not only fully designing, but recommending great suppliers for goods and fittings at reasonable prices. The work was completed quickly, tidily and within budget. Would recommend.

Andrew and the guys were really easy to work with and came up with some good ideas and solutions to problems. It helps when they have experience with high end interiors but also newer techniques and ways of doing things. They were good to bounce ideas off and made the whole process super easy. They also kept things neat and tidy at the end of the day which really helps when you’ve got little kids running around.
