After seeing some of George’s previous work, we asked him to build and design a bespoke coffee table after giving him some sizes. He was in touch throughout the build, showing pictures as he went along and produced something beautiful and perfect for what we needed. It completely exceeded our expectations.Thanks so much and we will definitely be recommending you to our friends and family!

I can recommend George as a very hard working and professional individual. He took over responsibility for a job involving replacement windows, construction of a new porch and decoration half way through completion and was personally involved in the work which he completed to a high standard. The job was finished in good time and attendance on site was always punctual.

Was a real shame to loose him , but I have I followed his work through links etc and is truly amazing what he can make. Good luck in the future.
