"The whole team were upbeat and excited about the project from the start, and they didn't disappoint. They walked us through the project and identified potential challenges we might face and the solutions they would apply depending on what they found. Made suggestions on lighting choices, bathroom fittings, flooring, paint finish, doors and more importantly they optimised the layout to make sure we could incorporate the bedroom and ensuite in a useful way. There were some very tricky angles on this build because of the position of the existing garage wall in relation to the side of the building, but they achieved it all to a high standard. They also helped with sourcing the kitchen and advised on worktops and appliances. They battled through very high temperatures over the summer, superior plastering skills were needed in such high heat! We are very happy with their work; our house looks great now and is completely wheelchair friendly. They were a pleasure to have around, always collaborating and communicating, they also have an eye for detail and had some inspired recommendations which lifted the end result."
