Since moving into my new house in July 2025, John and his team have dealt with considerable improvements to the property. This includes building a summerhouse which was then converted into a garden office, painting and decorating around the property, installing a handrail in the garden and boxing in old pipework. John is a consummate professional – competitively priced and always goes above and beyond.
