Handyman- 10 May 2019
John did an excellent job for us, promptly and at a very reasonable price. The task required a variety of skills and John demonstrated he was more competent in all of them. Reliable and trustworthy, he is content to tackle the smaller tasks as well as bigger projects. An ideal general handyman, we will be inviting him to do further work for us.

Extensions- 29 Dec 2022
We hired Manga to complete a single storey side extension, including fitting a new downstairs bathroom, replacing all floor from carpet to hard flooring, replacing all windows and back French doors and removal of garage and re-slabing of back garden. We also worked with his kitchen fitters who did a fantastic job. Overall we are happy with the build and finish. Manga is a fantastic communicator, always available to speak over the phone and address issues. Manga's team are polite and always leave the area tidy.

TA Bhatti constructions did an excellent job in renovating my house, it was a 6 months long job where they pulled apart all the internal parts of the house and rebuilt it all. They did an excellent job in putting a new Kitchen, 2 bathrooms, new wiring, new plumbing and everything else. The thing I liked most was their finishing which was next to none. I will happily recommend TA Bhatti constructions to anyone looking to renovate their house or looking to do extensions or Loft conversion.

Bathroom Fitting- 9 Feb 2019
Andrew did a fantastic job in installing a new bathroom floor and bath suite. As the bath had leaked below, he also replaced the ceiling. The quality of work is fantastic, whilst at the same time cleaning up after completion of works. I would definitely hire Andrew again as the standard of work is incredible.

Jon removed a wall and erected a new stud wall to create a new kitchen space. He's also arranged for the new kitchen electrics, plastering and kitchen fitting. He's brilliant from start to finish. Always on time and left my home tidy after each day of work, even though it was a working building site. He provided clear advise as we went so I felt confident the end product was going to be what I was after. I'll absolutely be hiring him again for future work.

Extensions- 4 Jun 2021
We needed a kitchen extension, and after getting 10 quotes from local builders, M & G were extremely competitive on price. The whole process was made simple, mainly due to the knowledge and communication from Miri and his team. Before I chose M & G, I was invited to see other jobs they were working on and after seeing the first extension, my mind was made up. Miri and his team are Punctual, Tidy, Knowledgeable, Professional, Hardworking and I cant recommend them high enough. I will be hiring Miri and the team for our Loft conversion soon.

Fraser was very helpful. Unlike many tradesmen he didn't spend half the time slagging off the work of other trades. He was professional and seemed to genuinely want to help find the leak, providing good suggestions along the way.
