Extensions- 19 Feb 2020
TCB took on a large extension / remodelling for me, starting in autumn and going through the winter. Despite the bad time of year, the project was completed on time, in budget and with a high-quality finish (plenty of neighbours have commented on the quality, speed and friendliness of the team). Trustworthy, very accommodating when things didn’t go to plan and kept me updated with progress while I was working away. Would want to use again and can highly recommend.

Sanders home solutions replaced my mother’s conservatory roof. Mel came out to quote for repairs and a replacement roof. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful , explaining the process to my elderly mother. Mel and his team replaced the roof whilst my mother in hospital . Good communication and completed in a day. The new roof looks fantastic. Mel sent photos of the work once completed and we have now been round to look ourselves and the team have done a fantastic job. Very trustworthy company I will definitely use again Thank you to you and your team Mel .

Hard Flooring- 30 Jan 2024
Great work by Jason to replace all our creaky upstairs floorboards. Arrived on time, worked hard all day and left place very clean at end of day. Over 4 days he was here he was unfailingly polite and did a great job even when faced with the shoddy work done by previous builders 12 years ago that he had to deal with. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Carpentry- 6 Jun 2024
Brian did an excellent job rehanging a door on the other side of the door opening. He explained the problems involved and how he would tackle the job. He achieved a first class finish and his attention to detail was second to none. He left everything clean and tidy. I would not hesitate to recommend him and I will certainly be using him again for jobs which need doing.
