I write to thank you very much for the work you recently did for ourselves, laying a solid wood floor and new skirting boards in the ground floor of our property. This has completely transformed our home and we greatly appreciate the care which was taken whilst this work was undertaken, we would have no hesitation in recommending you to others

Report
We used Northavon carpentry to carry out a complete roof rebuild and loft conversion. They were really helpful leading up to and during the job, assisting with design issues and providing effective solutions to any problems occurring. Ian and his team were reliable, flexible and committed to getting the job finished, with good communication throughout. Their carpentry skills and experience were invaluable in completing what was at times a complex structure and all within agreed time, cost and specification. We're really pleased with the finished result and I would have no hesitation in using Northavon Carpentry again.
