Slate & Tiled Roof
Jackie, NR3015/08/13I chose Derek to complete the roofing of my house not only because he offered the most competitive quote but also because he was extremely reliable. He did what he said he would when he said he would. The quality of both his and Sean (the roofer) work was top notch with much attention to detail. They arrived early in the morning and worked until late in the evening on a number of occasions to complete the job within the time scales quoted. I would have no hesitation in recommending Derek to my friends.
Flat Roof
Ian, NR421/04/13Extremely pleased that we accepted Derek’s very competitive and clear quotation for a replacement flat roof. The job was made more difficult by unforeseen problems and poor weather, but Derek completed the work with admirable patience, professionalism and attention to detail, such that we happily asked him to undertake additional jobs while he was on site. We found Derek a very easy person to get along with and would have no hesitation at all in employing him again in the future.
Internal Painting & Decorating
Catherine, NR213/12/12We have shared our home with Derek for 5 weeks. He was courteous, quiet, and VERY tidy. His timekeeping was excellent. He has made a good job of redecorating the inside of our house, and brought competent subcontractors in for tasks where he did not have the expertise. He voluntarily tackled a variety of small, long-standing repairs as he worked, always checking with us beforehand. He will be returning in the Spring 2013 to tackle the exterior. Endless sweet tea required!

Garage / Outbuilding Construction
Julie, NR3125/02/2012Derek is a trusted, competent, reliable and hard working tradesman. Even when faced with problems he found a solution and remedied it. We are having further work carried out to the property and we have already commissioned Derek to do this work. He worked over and above our expectations and I trust him implicitly leaving the keys with him to come and go as he needed especially with us living some 3 hours away. Thank you Derek.

Garage Conversion
Mark, NR1009/03/11We accepted Derek on the basis that he provided the most competitive quote and was very approachable. Sometimes the lowest price means the lowest quality but not in Derek's case. We are very happy with the finished result and the bricklayer and plasterer that Derek used also done a very good job. We also employed Derek to install a new run of fence panels and concrete posts in the garden prior to starting the garage and this was equally as good even though he had a stinking cold throughout. When required Derek turned up early and worked into the evening. It is also nice when you feel comfortable to leave a builder with free access to the house when we are not there. All in all I'd have no reservations in using Derek again in the future should we need anything done to the house. Thanks Derek

Robin , NR704/11/10Turned up on time and completed work within the timescale. Was both efficient and considerate. Took time to explain what he was going to do and how. Was asked to change some materials he was going to use and did so without hesitsation. Work looks good.
Wall Tiling
Andrew, NR721/08/10Derek was the first and last person i received a quote from for my small job. My first impressions sold me straight away. I had provided the materials to carry out the work that i wanted so the quote was just for the labour. Derek arrived at the house when he said he would, called back when he said he would and carried out the work as quoted, even though my choice of tiles was difficult to work with. I needed a plumber who Derek sorted, steve, who also met my expectations. Job took a little longer than expected due to my choice of tiles (sorry Derek) but was carried out with no increase in cost. The finished job was brilliant. Worth every penny and more.
