Rehang heavy Ikea mirror wardrobe door
Garry was a pleasure to have doing a very professional job for us when our 20yr old IKEA mirror door finally overpowered its hinges. He made sure he fully understood the job before quoting, kept us informed on progress and plans for the day, checked the rehung door closed perfectly and cleaned up throughout. I will have no hesitation in asking Garry again for the jobs I can no longer do.
Answer from tradesperson:
I am thrilled to hear that i provided such a professional job re-hanging your IKEA mirror door. I always strive for clear communication, which is why i fully understand the scope before quoting and keeps clients informed on progress. We appreciate you noticing his attention to detail, like checking the door closure and making sure the area was cleaned up throughout. It was a pleasure assisting you, and we look forward to helping with any future jobs you may have!

Box in electric meters
Gary provided a reasonably priced quote for the work, which led us to proceed with the project. A few weeks later, he returned and completed the job to our satisfaction across 3 days. He custom-built a box to enclose our electrical pipes and meters, ensuring it could be easily disassembled if access was needed. The work was completed to a very high standard, and we are extremely pleased with the outcome.
Answer from tradesperson:
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. It was a pleasure completing this project for you. I’m really glad to hear you’re happy with the custom-built enclosure and the overall standard of the work. If you ever need any further help or adjustments in the future, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Thanks again for choosing us!

Replace worktop, install sink and dishwasher
I had an excellent experience with Garry and his team. They helped to replace a worktop and sink as well as installing a dishwasher for a commercial kitchen. The communication was clear and professional from start to finish. They took the time to understand my needs, provided detailed explanations, and kept me informed throughout the process. The team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, showing up on time, and ensuring the work was done to a high standard. Their fast response time was impressive—whether it was answering questions, providing quotes, or scheduling the work, they were always prompt and efficient. Most importantly, their reliability stood out. They delivered exactly what was promised, met deadlines, and ensured everything was completed to my satisfaction. I highly recommend GDW construction for anyone looking for dependable and skilled work.

vintage door draft proofing
My front door needed realignment and draft proofing. I’m delighted with the outcome.The care and quality of his work is outstanding. No more draft and I get to keep my vintage door. Garry completed the job quickly and efficiently.
Answer from tradesperson:
Thankyou David. The overhaul of the door and frame was a success. With the new ball bearing hinges fitted and door and locks aligned, the door closes smoothly into the draught excluder door stop, exitex threshold bar. Pleased to assist with the project

Secure cupboard to wall
Garry secured a large, heavy cabinet to the wall so that it would not tip over. He did a great job. His communication before and during was excellent. I always knew what was going on. Kept to his price. He was very tidy, took care over my property and tidied up afterwards. Highly recommend and would use Garry again.
Answer from tradesperson:
Thankyou Ann. Relatively simple job, using simple carpentry technique. With the existing floor dipping, and the heavy floor standing furniture sitting on it . I simply attached to the wall via a softwood batten mechanically fitted to the wall and unit . Presto !
