Excellent work for a fair cost. Not only has Sean completed the work to a high standard, but he went out of his way to make sure that even before he started that everything was protected first so no damage could be done to anything nearby or any of the materials. Sean basically helped me create my vision for my modern creative meeting room into real life. He took great care and attention through the project even for the small details, asking me at every stage if I was happy how it was progressing which each step. Sean is very dedicated and was VERY particular to perfect finishing to the mm of every little corner, some may think abnormally so (at least in this day and age its very hard to find people who want to perfect everything for you so you are not just 99% happy but 101% happy). While he was here building the feature wall, he also fixed my other blank wall and its cracks perfectly and painted and sanded everything else in the room to perfection so that everything looked perfect and not just the feature he was working on. I can confirm he is excellent at carpentry, designing and also finishing. Very highly recommended, especially if you need high-end finishing, a guy who won’t cut corners, and if you need a proper well educated English gentleman who will listen to you and understand intelligently what you need to achieve. Highly recommended. Thank you, from Don, Finchley.

Sean transformed our dilapidated space into an amazing one. We employed him to refurbish and fit-out a new cafe in Finchley and he exceeded our expectations. He is refreshingly diligent, meticulous and very thorough. But most of all has shown a real love for his craft and the project, which is rare these days. Everything he has done for us was carried out to the highest standard, and it seems that nothing less than perfect is good enough for Sean and his team. He was employed on a labour only basis, but to ensure that the project was delivered on time and to his exacting standards he took over the role of ordering all the materials for us at no extra charge, and when the project was close to the agreed deadline, he stayed on site to work until 11:00 pm some nights to ensure that the work is delivered on the agreed date (which it was). We are very happy with what he has done and will work with him again in the future. Highly recommended.

Sean did a fantastic work installing laminated wood floor on our 3 bedroom apartment. The communication was always excellent, the quality of the work brilliant and I would defiantly hire him again.

We hired Sean and his team to fit our small kitchen. When he came to quote Sean assured us his team had fitted several kitchens and when we asked if we should provide a plumber and electrician we were told there were qualified members of his team. Unfortunately there were a number of issues with the workmanship (basic errors like using screws that were too big and therefore rupturing the units and leaving it like that until we pointed it out) and there were issues with both the electrical and plumbing work. We had to get an electrician and a plumber out to fix problems and leaks. Communication wasn't great - we had to ask our kitchen supplier to get the units in early as Sean wanted to start the job earlier than agreed, and then the other team member stopped working on the job which slowed everything down. We were also unhappy that they started working late into the evening - 9pm - without asking us if that was OK. Clearly because they had other stuff on. We realise none of this was intended, however the fact remains that we've had to fix many of the problems ourselves or bring in other tradesmen to fix them. Although Sean offered to try to resolve these problems, after a fortnight of having to bring his attention to these errors and finding ourselves in a position where he clearly didn't know how to fit the dishwasher correctly, we lost faith.

I have been trying to get these benches made for quite some time so was pleased to meet Sean. He was completely open about the fact that this was not his usual type of work but at the same time said he was confident that he could do it and I believed him. We spent a long time discussing my options regarding materials and measurements and he made sure I was happy with everything. He has just delivered the benches to me, well within the time frame promised. I am very happy with them and the whole service I have received. I will be asking Sean to quote for some shelving I plan to have built in the new year. I am happy to recommend him.

Sean has done an excellent job fitting wood flooring for us. The work was finished on time and for less than the original quote. I can't imagine that there is anyone out there that could have done a better job. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others and having seen the extremely high quality of his work we are already planning to use him again.

Sean and Victor were excellent, arrived promptly, really tidy and polite.Sean has done an excellent job and is a perfectionist. I have had many tradesmen before but none as professional and conciencious as Sean and co. I have no hesitation in highly recommending them and would definately use A SKillful Tradesmen 4U again. Thank you Sean you should be proud of the service you provide.

The team did a great job with our flooring. Sean informed me about all possibilities at first, then completed the job according to our requests with a great deal of care and quality. Very happy about the finish. The team was very nice and tidy. Good job.

Sean and the team did a great job with my wood floor and it wasn't the easiest of jobs because the sub-floor was very uneven due to historic movement and previous poor workmanship when the house was originally partitioned into flats. I found Sean to be extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of his trade and he always had a range of options to hand to deal with any problem that we came across. Communication and pricing were clear and the team also worked very long hours and weekends to get the job done on time.

Sean was extremely knowledgable and thorough in his work. He came round twice to look at the site and properly discuss our options before issuing us with a detailed quote. The work was carried out efficiently and extremely professionally and he kept us updated every step of the way. The shelves were completed on time and with virtually no disruption to us. And most importantly, they look fantastic!
