Kitchen Extension - shell & potential interior work
Lewis was the contractor on my Kitchen extension. It was a tricky project due to access in our terraced property, and me and my family having to live in the same space as the works were being carried out. Throughout the project, Lewis was excellent - genuinely skilled across a number of areas, and with great sub-contractors for all specialist areas (apart from a couple of labourers in the early stages :). He had an attention to detail and high personal standards of work that I have not come across in builders before - he was also extremely on it in terms of costs, and very clear about the stages of the project / payment schedules / extras etc. His project schedule was also the most detailed and articulate that I've seen from a builder - with a clear, logical and organised process (but he was also able to adapt this to accommodate my wishes / family needs when necessary.) The project itself took the best part of 18 months due to an unforeseen planing issue emerging right in the middle the works, but Lewis was able to drop in and out amongst other projects (and getting married as well). Absolutely would recommend him for such projects - and he will be my first call for future work. One minor niggle might be that he spreads himself a bit thinly across multiple projects - but I think this is due to his high standards of work and wanting to do the best job in the most part, which is not a bad excuse. He's very busy, but worth the wait to get him in.
