We're a small firm on purpose. The person who quotes your job is the person who does it, and you get their number — not a call centre queue.

Regularly. We can hold keys, deal directly with tenants and invoice monthly against a portfolio.
Card or bank transfer on completion for repairs; staged payments on larger installations, set out in the quote.
Photographs from recent jobs. The pipework matters as much as the tiling — we'd rather show you both.
Lead supply replaced, floor re-boarded, new soil connection and a thermostatic shower on a properly balanced supply.
Chimney breast reclaimed, system flushed, magnetic filter fitted and controls moved somewhere the customer can actually reach.
Installed overnight so the shop never lost a trading hour. Condensers set on anti-vibration mounts to keep the neighbours happy.
