Kitchen Fitting- 16 Jun 2020
Robin did a fabulous job for us, refitting a large utility room in a very old building with cupboards, worktops, electrical points and a sink. His price was very competitive, he was thoroughly professional and courteous in all his dealings with us and his standards of workmanship exceptional. I would have no reservations in recommending him and we would be very happy to work with him again.

Conversions - General- 20 Jan 2019
Lee of LC Builders did a fantastic job from start to finish. He not only did a great job on my building job, he also helped with a structural survey and with paperwork. He could not have been more helpful. His work and efforts have helped us in the selling of our house; without Lee's work and help we would not have got the job done. I would recommend Lee and his team without hesitation.
