Dan and his team were outstanding. Extremely personable, professional and straight forward. They arrived when they said they would arrive, did a great job creating the roof truss structure and were competitive on price. I would strongly recommend them for anyone looking for a carpenter.

Could not recommend highly enough! Richard completed the work to a very high standard in no time at all. Great communication, discussed the job and priced it up based on coming to see the exact task and likely duration. Incredibly helpful, didn't just do the job, but helped me move furniture etc. too. Genuinely nice person.

I'm a mobile Locksmith based in Ashford, Middlesex. I work in the following postcodes TW and KT but that doesn't mean that if you're in London or surrounding area you are too far. I also do some handyman jobs in between or if I'm in a certain area or the customer requests it. I take pride in the work that I do, so a job will never be done just to be done, it's either working as it should or it doesn't. Best regards

Alex and his coworker from C&P General Construction Ltd did an exceptional job repairing and repainting my front door, 7 door frames and most of the skirting boards around my flat. They both are very friendly and are very good at being neat and paying close attention to detail. Alex offered a reasonable price and made sure they both took their time so it was done to a very high standard and to my satisfaction. I felt even more confident when Alex shared his professional advice throughout. Thank you Alex! ????

LCB Property Services definitely deserve 5 stars for our garage conversion From the first meeting, I had confidence that LCB would deliver the transformation I was looking for. The confidence increased when LCB matched bricks, making sure that any changes retained the character of the house. At each step, LCB took the time to discuss and suggest changes to our original requests for fittings that enhanced the whole look and feel and made the room and integral part of the house
