Have had several projects over the last year or so completed on my period property by Glyn and have found his work each time to be consistently of good quality and completed in a professional and timely manner. Will look forward to completing more projects with GVS in the future.

Glyn is very professional and completed a very high quality renovation of our 19th century coach house, he is very honest and reliable. He is meticulous in his planning and has always clearly communicated with us throughout the project, including solving problems that our old building has thrown up. We would highly recommend his services and he is currently back with us to complete further renovations.

We were delighted with the excellent work Glyn and his team did on our period property. This company really knows its stuff when it comes to using traditional materials and craftsmanship. Glyn is an excellent problem solver and has a wealth of experience to draw from so you know you and your property are in good hands. Cannot recommend this company highly enough.
