📍 Location: Lower Earley, Berkshire
🛠️ Service: Custom Wardrobe Installation, Cabinetry

A cluttered bedroom can feel smaller than it is, and free-standing wardrobes often don’t maximize storage effectively.

This customer wanted a better solution, so we replaced their free-standing unit with a fully custom-built wardrobe, complete with a dedicated TV space on an adjustable arm, making it viewable from anywhere in the room. The result? More storage, better functionality, and even a little extra space!

💡 Thinking about upgrading your storage? Let’s design something that works for you!

My team & I recently completed this bathroom renovation.

- full strip out
- reboard & ceiling skim
- plumbing
- spotlighting upgrade
- the full bathroom package

I'm very pleased with the outcome, I think the customer did well with the styling choices and it looked great when finished.

The thing I love the most about my job is the variety of work I get to complete.

This stable door was extremely fun for me and I'd be keen to build a few more/experiment with designs.

Once upon a time a home owner spent good money having a custom scene painted on the bathroom wall, the quality of the work was high and the walls looked great.

One day the home was sold and the new owner covered the artwork with cheap, plain boring tiles, that were poorly installed.

Unfortunately the wall has now been plastered and nobody will ever discover this scene again ☹️

Insulating your loft space is the number 1 thing I can recommend for reducing energy bills. Many lofts have old insulation that doesn't meet modern standards, adding to the insulation to bring it up to spec can make a huge difference to your wallet!

This loft is going to be done in sections to keep the cost manageable and once done the customer will have also doubled the storage space available!

It's not often that Klayton (of K.Goddard Plastering ) & I bump into each other on site. He's done plenty of work for me, but I'm not usually there.

So hi Klayton 👋 good to see you.
If anyone is in need of a plasterer I can't recommend him enough.

I'm almost finished with the fence repairs following that one stormy weekend. Just one more repair to do and it's all over and back to normal for me.

Fence post & panel replacement, I also popped up the shed guttering (which ran the opposite direction to the shed 🙈)

Cat/dog flap removal in a landlord friendly fashion.

My customer wanted to rid themselves of the built in air-conditioning their back door was offering, the landlord was happy for the flap to be removed so long as no further damage was done to the door.

The solution was simple, we cut a panel to match the design of the door (inside & out), fill the hole with insulation and glue it all into place.

Removable in the future if desired but unlikely to ever be done so, the customer reports that the house is considerably warmer so that's a ✅ for us and another happy customer.

I sometimes lack inspiration when creating text to represent my work. Today we have a pine wood boxing that I made to go around a newly installed water pipe.

It's not the most exciting thing to look at but time should be taken to appreciate the time/skill used to scribe this in and create a nice square box.

Did you even spot the removable panel at the bottom allowing access to the stopcock?

I see dreadful work sometimes, I'm so glad I take pride in what I do.

Pantry shelving in progress, these shelves would have handled the contents of the supermarket once finished. But sadly I forgot to get a photo 😭
