It's been some time since my last update, and what a summer it’s been! It’s been incredibly hot and hectic, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the range of jobs I’ve worked on. One project that really stands out is a set of double garage doors I recently completed.

These doors had to be custom-made due to their non-standard sizing and the poor quality of off-the-shelf options available. I crafted a new frame and doors on-site to meet the customer’s exact specifications, and they couldn’t be happier with the results.

I’ll make sure to share more of my summer projects over the coming weeks and months, so stay tuned!

This was meant to be a simple sand and paint job to this conservatory. Upon investigation I found it to have severe rot. One section I could fit my entire hand inside! After discussions with the customer about what could be done it was looking like a much more expensive job.
I offered a different kind of solution to treat the wood with rot stopper and add plastic cladding as you would when changing the soffits.
This cave the customer a much cheaper solution to the problem and even I’m amazed with just how. Good it looked at the end.

The start of the summer season has been super busy.
This is a nice little before and after shot.
The window was In dire need of being replaced and had become sponge like.
Water had been seeping into the plasterboard and started to fester mould.
The window bespoke made by a local company arcana cabinetmakers. Fitted the new window cut out the damp plasterboard and re plasterboarded the area around the window. Taping and jointing to blend in with the original plaster.
Finished off with painting throughout transforming the look and smell of a difficult space.

Fencing fun in the sun.
Pleased with how this came out. The customer was over the moon. Fencing renewed over 30 panels and posts.
Very hot and sweaty couple of days!
