Squaring off an existing arch which has been made in a chimney breast. Would entail removal of a few bricks and making good with cement/plaster.
Mr Gardner arrived at my house in Bournemouth, having travelled from Dorchester, exactly on time - both to quote and to carry out the work.
He kept me on board throught the job and carried out any needed adjustments as he went along.
The work was completed to a high standard and I would not hesitate to use him again.
He was cheerful, co-operative and competent.

I'm looking for a builder (with specialism in damp issues), to investigate a kitchen and lounge/diner floor for damp, before we lay new floors. A surveyor assures us there is no serious rising damp problems, but says we need to lift some floorboards and check some joists so we can be sure there are no wider problems before fitting new floor coverings and refreshing the kitchen units.
We would welcome quotes for the fitting of the floor or kitchen also.
