Some pictures of a lovely ensuite toilet for my client in Earley, completed earlier this month. They wanted to replace their existing shower cubicle with some much needed storage so I built them a unit to match the vanity. This looks super smart and is a great addition to their lovely home.

A stunning bathroom refit completed for a lovely couple in Earley a couple of months ago. ✨

They patiently waited a long time for me to be able to complete this project, so I’m delighted to say they absolutely love their new bathroom — and I think the finished result was well worth the wait!

The room was completely stripped out and transformed from start to finish, including plastering, electrics, plumbing, tiling and installation.

A beautiful transformation and a job I’m really proud of! 🛁

Two bespoke storage units with Shaker-style doors, built on either side of the existing toilet for a customer in Earley and decorated to completion.
A relatively small job, but a great way to add some useful storage and make the most of the available space in the WC.

It’s been a while since I last posted, as I’ve been super busy with work and making the most of the wonderful weather! ☀️

Here are some photos of a cabin I built in Earley last month.

This beautiful cabin, supplied by Dunster House, provides a much-needed multipurpose space for my client — an office by day, a garden room by night, and a hobby room at the weekend.

Where has the time gone?! It feels like we were only just saying Happy New Year…

January was a busy one, straight back into it with no time to slow down — and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Here’s a look at one of my January projects, completed again in my neighbourhood (just around the corner👌).

This job included:

• Stair conversion with oak handrails, oak newel caps & imperial spindles
• Supply & fit of dado rail and skirting to the landing
• LVT click flooring laid to the hallway and office, including custom threshold bars and new oak veneer skirting
• Supply & installation of 4 internal doors

A great transformation that’s really refreshed the space.
