A selection of work undertaken outdoors or in and around the garden.
Mrs. P contacted me during the process of selling her house after neighbors reported hearing scurrying sounds. I was asked to inspect the drain and replace the fence panels if needed. The fence panels were replaced, and upon inspecting the drain, it was found to be rotten. The water board has been contacted for Mrs. P to arrange a replacement, and new fence panels have been installed.
The customer was worried about a rotten side door and believed it needed replacement. After considering new, second-hand, and custom-built options, building a door from scratch proved to be the most cost-effective solution, much to the customer’s delight. The door includes a 3″ x 2″ frame, 20mm tongue and groove paneling, a mortice lock, fire-rated ball bearing hinges, and one very satisfied customer!
Mr. P reached out after growing frustrated with his exposed meter boxes being vulnerable to the elements. He requested a custom-built cabinet to conceal the damaged gas and electricity meter boxes. After a quick sketch, the project moved straight to the workshop. Crafted from 12mm plywood with premium hardware, the cabinet was finished with a wax-enriched stain and yacht varnish. The final result surpassed all expectations, leaving Mr. P delighted with the outcome.
Miss S has a small, unused front garden and wanted a simple, hassle-free tidy-up. We provided easy, no-fuss care including strimming, mowing, and general tidying. Clean, straightforward, and stress-free.

Complete living room makeover showcasing acoustic wood panel-style wallpaper, freshly painted walls in Dulux ‘Copper Blush,’ and a thoughtfully redesigned display of artwork and family photos.
Mrs. S requested a full redesign of her son’s bedroom. Under her direction, a state-of-the-art gaming room was created for a dedicated young gamer. The space features a wraparound workstation desk with a wall-mounted monitor and TV, a music production station, shelves filled with gaming consoles, and a gaming rack for all accessories. The room is completed with a glow-in-the-dark wall mural, gaming-themed artwork, and sleek, futuristic patterned wallpaper.
Mrs. T was frustrated with how dull her ceiling lights made the room feel. This was the second set she had installed after being unhappy with her initial choice. Both fixtures were replaced to transform the room’s ambiance with fresh designs, complemented by new brushed nickel switches. She also chose to update the lighting in the kitchen and water closet, creating a modern rustic vibe.
After installing a curtain pole, hanging a mirror, and fitting a garden gate lock for Mrs. W, she asked if I would be interested in wallpapering a feature wall with paneling design wallpaper. This became one of our most challenging wallpapering projects, featuring numerous straight lines and a window box to work around. While walls and ceilings are rarely perfectly straight, this one was impressively close!
