Stuart and the team were awesome. Great communication, advice, and fabulous finishes on every piece of work they did.

We moved into a run down apartment in Leith and they completely overhauled it including;

Knocking down a wall opening up the space.
Taking out an old kitchen and fitting a brand new one.
Ripping up old floors and fitting new ones.
All new doors, skirtings, and facings throughout.
Updated all electrics throughout the apartment including new spotlights, plug sockets, and installing new electric radiators throughout.
Great finished plastering throughout.
Upgrading a dank utility room into a useful and prettier space.

We will be asking the team to come in and rip out 2 bathrooms and replace in the new year as they've been so great this time round. More...

Stuart worked on our flat renovations from May to July 2022, installing a new kitchen, replacing an en suite bathroom with a walk in wardrobe in installing some bespoke book and CD shelving. This was a major renovation involving the removal of a wall.

Firstly, the quality of the carpentry work was excellent.

Stuart was meticulous in explaining every step of the process in detail. Of course, with projects of this type, things change as you go and Stuart was excellent at adapting, explaining to my wife and I and making great suggestions that perhaps we hadn't thought of.

The cost was agreed up front and at no point did additional expenses come up. Stuart was also great at changing things as we went if something wasn't quite right and fixing other things that weren't necessarily part of the job, one example being turning a door to open the other way. Again, no cost, no question - to Stuart, this is part of the service.

There was one occasion where Stuart wasn't happy with an element of the job - having to cut a large piece of oak for a worktop which we all agreed didn't look right when done. Stuart took it upon himself to sort a new, single piece of oak from the supplier and redo it at no cost to us, simply because he takes pride in his work.

For the bespoke work, it was exactly that - bespoke. While we discussed what we wanted in advance, we worked on it collaboratively every step of the way to make sure it was what we had in mind to achieve a finished result that all parties were satisfied with.

Stuart had an excellent network of other tradesmen - electrician, plumber and tiler, all of whom did an excellent job in their area. Other than the plumbing, all of these costs were part of our agreement so there were no surprise costs there either.

Stuart made sure to tidy up after himself every day and worked around my family's routine and requirements (as well as keeping our neighbours happy and the communal areas of the block clean). He also ensured that he stay until the work was completed in its entirety before moving onto his next job - no leaving things unfinished and promising to return later. We were his number one priority.

I couldn't be more satisfied with Stuart's abilities as a tradesman and his professionalism. It was money very well spent and I would use him again without hesitation. More...

Stuart and his team undertook a full kitchen refit. We were very pleased with the quality of his work, with excellent communication throughout the project. Stuart was very friendly and easy to talk to and put in additional hours to push the job forward (after an initial delay due to COVID which was out of his control). We will certainly be calling Stuart and his team for any future work we might need in the future. More...

Stuart was fantastic from start to finish. Really keen to take the job on and gave good advice and support throughout. Excellent communication throughout the whole job. He took on a few extra tasks for me and I was delighted with the end result. Will absolutely use again in the future. More...

Stuart and the team were great from day 1. From initial meeting to end of job. Willing to share ideas and always kept well informed of what was going on. Nothing was to much bother and best of all, job competed to a high standard. Would definitely recommend and use again. More...
