Updates to a recent kitchen
I have installed this kitchen recently and before it's tiled we've made a few adjustments and additions including this new shelf for the microwave and books of the clients. I used an offcut from the main kitchen oak worktops so it was fairly cheap to do, I also...
Another outside light in Friday Street
A quick switch of lights, from an old style lamp to a new stainless unit with LEDs inside.
2 Fire Alarms Fitted in Eastbourne
2 shiney new smoke alarms fitted today, sometimes older alarms can play up because the batteries fail or dust, steam and muck make their sensors erratic, if this happens please consider some new ones, they start from as little as £10 for a well known brand and should...
Multiple mirrors in East Dean
I hung a suite of mirrors this morning in a frosty East Dean, I also put up some unusual shelves and fixed the poor water pressure to an outside washing machine. The suppliers of the washing machine had, for some inexplicable reason, fiddled with the main outside...
Window catch replacement
A sticky window catch could lead to a problem, this one just seized without locking properly. After calling some local companies for a new mechanism I tracked down the exact unit for this window in Sovereign Harbour and switched them over. While at this address I...

New shed roof
This shed roof was leaking as the felt was completely dead, I stripped the old material off and all the nails, but it needed some new edges beneath to hold it all together, once these were screwed on I stapled a sheet of heavy duty polythene over it and then tacked on...
A Landing Floor
A friend from many years ago spotted my facebook page and asked me to help with a landing floor in his house. I removed, bit by bit, the old floor boards that had been attacked many times by various people over the years and were making many different noises, they...
Repair to gate and wall
Just finished the repair works to a client’s gate, the catch post was bolted to the end of a very old wall and it had pulled away.

This mornings little job was to install a new solid oak mantelpiece above a log burner in Heathfield. Some careful measuring and precise drilling meant a straightforward job that is all ready for some Christmas cards and decorations.
Very fair prices and great workmanship – highly recommend.
