Joinery & Cabinet Making- 16 Dec 2022
I'm so happy with shelving that ozzy and his colleague made. Ozzy took the time to understand want I wanted (floating alcove shelving) provided a clear and comprehensive quote, and kept me updated on completion of the shelving in his workshop. On day of installation, the guys were lovely and friendly, they went the extra mile in dealing with floors and walls that aren't at all straight, and the finished result blew me away, it's transformed the space completely. Such a pleasure to deal with, would highly recommend and i would definitely use them again in the future.

Thanks, Eralp Semi 12:03, 21 Jan 2019 Your message I had the pleasure of working with Eralp when i needed help with my planning application to Bexley Council to convert my garage into habitable space. Eralp was very professional; he showed up to our appintments on time and he was very knowledgeable in the options that were available to me. He provided the architectural drawings for the garage conversion and completed and submitted the planning permission to the council on my behalf. We had difficulties from Bexley council and they delayed the approval of my application. Eralp was however very committed and he continued to pursue Bexley Council till they eventually approved my application. The level of dedication and support from Eralp was exceptional. I will highly recommend Eralp without any hesitations. Priscilla
