Clive was recommended to me by a friend as I needed a new kitchen sink and loo fitting and I am so glad that she did. Clive was really helpful in selecting the most suitable and good quality products and I was kept fully informed every step of the way. Clive and his son Ryan are a fabulous team, professional, efficient and just the loveliest people. I am absolutely delighted with the work and would, without hesitation, recommend them.

Just had a bathroom refit by Clive and Ryan. Couldn't be happier. From the start they were happy to offer recommendations and support with fixtures. Always turn up when they say they will. Happy to revise initial plan after work started as new ideas presented themselves. Total confidence that the work carried out is robust and will last. Definitely use again.

Clive was recommended to us by another local tradesman. Following a service on our old boiler we arranged for Clive to install a new one, and also solve a problem with annoying squeaky heating pipes. Following Clive's recommendation we are extremely pleased with our new boiler which is Wi Fi controlled, far quieter and more efficient. He was also quite happy to employ his carpentry skills to solve our noisy pipes. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Clive and we will continue to employ him from now on.

Clive did a great job servicing my boiler and installing my shower. When I had a problem with the shower (not his fault) he came back quickly and sorted it for me. Great job, explained everything he was doing. Would definitely recommend.

Customer service poor waited a week for an appointment then did not show and no communication even though waited in all day. Apparently the bigger clients are more important and then couldn't reschedule for 2 months. Although apologise feel very let down.
