Main project involved complete refit of kitchen. The quality of Nigel's workmanship was of the highest standard. The project was completed on time and within budget. Before and during the project we appreciated Nigel's suggestions and innovative ideas but also found that he was receptive to our requests as the project developed. Extremely pleased with the end result - admired by many! We consider Nigel as being a pleasant, professional, knowledgeable and skilled craftsman.
