A Tongue & Groove gate for a new customer in Dinas Powys fitted this morning.
The customer was so happy with it, they have booked me back in for another gate at the front of the property 😄
If you need a new gate, you won't get better quality than these 👌
Solid, treated and built to last with quality galvanised fitting and hardware.
If you need a new gate, fencing or decking, get in touch before winter hits
Thank you

A nice tiled porch floor completed for a great repeat customer in Porth.
I forgot to take photos of the original floor but basically one of the terracotta tiles had cracked in multiple places. We tried to find a matching tile in the reclamation yards but couldn't find one that matched so the customer opted for a new floor. Turned out lovely 👌
If you need anything doing around the house or garden, feel free to message and I'll see if I can help. Thank you

Not bad for my first attempt at a EPDM rubber roof!
This was done for myself to see how it went and must say it has turned out really good. Plenty of research and advice from builders/roofers really did help and was actually quite easy to fit. Completely watertight now 👌 which is a good thing considering the weather at the moment 💦
Just need gutters, downpipes etc and render the walls in the next week and can then finally get a garage door fitted. If anybody can recommend a garage door supplier/fitter, let me know 👍 Thanks

A small job I squeezed in earlier in the week after a full day on site. A new electric oven for a repeat customer in Coity.
The customer phoned saying the oven was tripping the electrics. After visiting and testing, it was confirmed the heating element had gone. According to the customer the oven was around 15 - 20 years old so it was decided a new oven was the best option rather than spending money on a new element. The customer picked up a new oven from Currys and had a new fully functioning oven within 10 minutes of going back there 👌

Today was a day of waiting around at home for a broadband engineer so I used the time wisely and finally cracked on making a start on my new garage roof. Old roof down, new joists and a good start fitting the osb3 boards. Few more pieces to cut and fit and then can get the Firestone rubber roof installed before rendering externally and a new garage door.

A lovely garden boundary featheredge fence for a new customer in Gilfach Goch. Completed with 6 inch gravel boards on the bottom, featheredge fence boards and capped off with 4 x 1 top rail. 4x4 posts with chamfered post caps and double sided so the next door neighbour didn't have to see the rails of the fence in their garden 👌
More & more of my customers are from word of mouth so I really appreciate anybody who recommends me or shares my posts. It really does help being recommended by you guys so thank you very much 👏😄

Another featheredge fence completed for a great repeat customer in Pontypridd
The customer wanted to extend their driveway to accommodate up to 4 cars. After hiring a digger and digging out the required space, we went about fitting a new fence. The ground on the boundary of the property is holding a lot of water that runs down off the mountain behind the property so it was decided that traditional 4x4 wooden posts wouldn't be the best option to use. The customer settled on Galvanised Duraposts that have a life expectancy of 25/30 years compared to 15 years for wood.
Some hard digging but got the job done and looks lovely 👌

A nice bit of featheredge fencing and gate for a lovely new customer in Gilfach Goch.
The customer wanted a bit more privacy whilst in the garden but didn't want to feel fully enclosed hence the front fence being slightly lower than the main boundary fence.
With the added gate, the garden is now more secure for the customers lovely dog to enjoy 🐕

A nice little featheredge fence wall topper for a regular customer in Tonyrefail. The customer wanted to replace their original wall topper which had been fitted a long time ago and increase the height slightly to match the new fence I fitted last year. This gives a bit more privacy when they are on their decking. Straight after doing that, they asked me to change a ceiling light fitting in the living room and 2 X wall uplifting lights.
Enjoying the last few days in Palmanova and will be back straight into action from Tuesday. If you need any jobs doing around the home or garden, feel free to drop me a message. Thank you
