    Builder
    I have nothing but praise for Sean. He went out of his way to make sure I was happy with my kitchen refit. He was punctual, kept me informed all the time, always checked on how I wanted things ( when necessary), gave me practical advice and did not consider the job finished until I was completely satisfied that it was. I would recommend him 100%

    Made to measure bookcase

    Sean built a made to measure mdf bookcase that incorporated boxing of gas pipes and an access panel. I was impressed with how Sean fitted the job into his existing schedule, the speed at which he visited to be able to quote, and his clear business-like manner. He was the only tradesman to suggest the use of pine to cover the front facade to ensure the final paint finish is perfect. His suggestion to run skirting board around the base instead of a plinth further integrated the bookcase into the room. Sean and his colleague Victor arrived on time and worked hard all day whilst paying attention to the details. They then left the room tidier than how they'd found it which doesn't go unnoticed. To summarise, the bookcase exceeds expectation, the price was reasonable, and the team were pleasant and trustworthy. Sean clearly takes great pride in his work, no matter how small the job, and I'd have no hesitation recommending A Skilled Tradesman 4 You to others.

    Installation of wood flooring for 2 bedrm apartment
    I hired Sean to install 63sq metres of engineered wood flooring to my flat. I was impressed by Sean's knowledge and he even explained the pros and cons for each option so that I can make an informed decision in order to achieve the best possible outcome and within my price range. Sean was also very kind by taking some effort and time to source wooden floor samples after I showed him a few pictures of a flooring that was installed in another property. He came back with quite a few samples and I managed to select a floor from those samples. Sean fully understood the look and finish that I was after. After the initial meeting with Sean, he produced a detailed quotation of the cost for each job (for e.g. removal of carpet, replacing skirting boards, laying the flooring boards and etc), the cost for the materials, and estimate on the number of days for the installation. The work was completed to a high standard and within the agreed timeframe even though my building had restrictions on the time that building works can be carried out. Throughout the entire process, Sean would provide me with updates on the flooring installation. The tools/equipment that Sean and his team use are high quality, quieter than other tools and have efficient dust extraction. I highly recommend Sean and his team, and will not hesitate to contact him again for any future renovations. They were polite and very helpful. I'm very happy with the overall result and outcome of my new floors.

    Building shelves in an alcove
    I was very impressed with Sean; both the quality of his work and the service he provided. He was very professional and reliable. The shelves look great; excellent work. The best thing was that the house was completely clean and tidy every evening i got ho,e whilst he was doing the work - I have never known a workman clear up so thoroughly after themselves. I would definitely use Sean again.

    Solid Wooden Floor Install for total 30sqm
    I had several people come and view the Job however the moment I met Sean I was very impressed with his professional attitude and his knowledge of the work involved which was backed up with his extensive experience. Upon hiring him, I was sent a professional breakdown of work involved along with material, costing, and days involved. My flooring was extremely uneven, even more than what was visible as Sean showed me and the work involved to fix it was planned carefully and executed with a real professional touch. Sean created several frames and managed to flatten and flooring ready for the solid wooden flooring to be laid. He did not charge me extra for this work and was very self-critical to ensure the finished product was laid to perfection. The tools and equipment used were absolutely the best in the business which not only kept the dust and dirt low but also meant that every cut, and join was perfect. I can’t fault a single part of the work and am extremely pleased with the final product. It’s all flat, solid and worth every penny. The attitude of the team whilst working was excellent, they had to deal with a baby and my dog which they worked around and enjoyed. They were sensitive to our needs and planned this work around our routine. There are many people out there which will provide all sorts of cheap quotes and promises, however if you want your job to be completed by true skillsman than Sean is your man.

    Renewal of floor due to flood
    I was very impressed with Sean and his team. Sean was extremely helpful and ensured the job was done to a high standard and very importantly, on time. The lines of communication were always open and I was given regular progress reports throughout the work. Additionally, Sean took photos of the work in progress. When I require further works to be carried out, I will not hesitate to contact Sean again.

    Hardwood flooring with acoustic underlay and carpeting
    Upon hiring Sean to complete the flooring component of a 3 bed flat refurbishment project, Sean proved himself to be as professional on the actual work as he was throughout the quotation process where he spent time with me to fully appreciate what my requirements were. 1) The site was cleaned and left tidy daily 2) consideration to effects on neighbours was proactively given 3) progress reports were regular and clearly communicated 4) most importantly work was done to a very high standard. It became clear that Sean was providing a service far superior to the other tradesmen I’d hired and I promptly handed the ENTIRE project over to Sean who ended up project managing and implementing: 1) Replacement of all hardwood floors, including the installation of new joists and sound insulation throughout. 2) installation of two bathrooms, including under floor heating
3) the installation of a new gas connection, new boiler install, new fireplace install, and new central heating install. 4) a full electrical rewire 5) a range of carpentry jobs, including new built-in wardrobes and custom made doors throughout. 6) painting and decorating the entire flat. I would stress the fact that Sean saved this project. He walked into a site that was quite literally falling apart, he was able to take control of the significant project management required to keep things moving, and ultimately delivered a finished flat to a very high standard in a very open and transparent manner.

    Reclaimed timber floorboard laying throughout flat
    Sean and his team have been helpful, professional and keen to give me full details about every process, right from the beginning. Sean came to my flat to make a quote and really impressed me with his knowledge and realistic communication of fine details about the work that needed to be done. His team worked really hard and were always helpful and friendly - I've had a lot of other workmen at my flat recently, and in terms of standards, reliability and consistency, they were the best by a mile. They often arrived on site first thing in the morning before I did, which was unheard of to me, and really reassuring for knowing that the work was progressing as it should be. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sean and all of his team, they've done a great job with my floor, everything was finished ahead of schedule and set backs were dealt with well - they've also been happy to help with my questions and small extra jobs (like plumbing in my washing machine), which has been a nice bonus.

    Fitted Wardrobe

    I hired Sean to build a bespoke floor to ceiling built in wardrobe with sliding doors. I also had some cupboard doors made to match the sliding wardrobe doors. I was extremely pleased with both the level of service and standard of workmanship that I received. The build quaility of the finnished wardrobe is outstanding. Sean and his team put a lot of hard working hours into my job and always kept me imformed, checking with me first when key decisions about the wardrobes design and installation needed to be made. They were reliable and turned up on time, when they finished in the evenings, they left the room nice and clean. I would not hesitate to hire Sean and his team again, infact I have asked them to build a frame for a pair of windows shutters that i'd like to have fitted. I will certainly be recommending them to friends and family. Quite simply, if you decide to hire A skillful tradesmen 4 "You" you will get exactly what the name suggest, skillful tradesmen who will do exactly what they say they are going to do...... and you'll also get a great job too.

    Floor boards to be fitted in two room and hallway

    Sean was very professional and conscientious, he kept us well informed at all times and worked to a high standard. He took care to prepare the sub-flooring thoroughly and fixed the joists that needed work.The solid oak floor he laid for us looks great and feels very solid to walk on. We are delighted with the results and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sean to others or to hire him again for a similar job.
