Julius was very professional and provided lots of advice. He completed our job which included the kitchen and utility room. He also moved a wall and fitted double doors. This was completed to a very high standard and on time. We would use Julius again for some of our other projects in the future.

Julius has gone above and beyond my expectations with his level of professionalism and expertise whilst fitting our new kitchen. From day 1 he has communicated well with us and with fellow tradesmen to bring the plan together is a smooth and timely manner. Even with the COVID-19 lockdown bringing the job to a halt half-way through he made sure we had everything we needed (running water, power etc) in the kitchen so we werent without. A perfectionist at heart Julius didnt hesitate to cast a critical eye over the designs and added his thoughts and opinions which always were the best route to

Julius did an amazing decking job for me . What was an uneven ugly concrete ' patio ' is now a beautiful large deck with steps down to the garden . As I'm unable to get about at the moment without 2 walking sticks Julius took this I to concideration and created a safe area for me . I was most impressed with the stong suport of framework under the decking and was surprised what a big job it was . The design is beautiful and well thought out . The carpentry is lovely and everything finished to a high standard . My gardener came and he inspected it and was most impressed and said a lot of thought

Julius is very thorough and produces a high quality of work. He worked with us to our designs, helping to solve problems along the way. He completely remodelled 3 small rooms into one luxury bathroom as well as refurbishing a small WC. Very happy with the results.

St Ives property maintenance, did an excellent job .It wasnt a straight forward build , a few quirky problems needed to be addressed. Julius is a great problem solver and rose to the challenge. The quality of the workmanship is second to none. It was a pleasure to have him working on this project. I would highly recommend him to anyone for the high standard of his workmanship, and professionalism.
