From tiered mocha to bright and vibrant.

Apparently someone thought it would be a good idea to use indoor ceramic wall tiles in the garden to create a luxurious, patio ice rink.

This shrine to pine had to be dragged kicking and screaming out of the 80's and into the 21st century. 🛼

Rotten window frames were leaking water into the house causing problems within so they needed urgent attention.

Another kitchen unit renovation.

This kitchen was given a new look by simply painting the existing cabinet doors.

This featureless landing was looking a bit drab.

A gated area was needed for a draughty space between this wood cabin and cottage. the only problem was that the fence could not be attached in any way to the fragile render of the very old listed building. So the solution was to have the fence 'float' next to the wall without actually touching it. This is how I did it.

This rotten fascia board needed a new piece of timber splicing in.

The owners of this pretty cabin asked me to build raised decking that would extend out to a lower level piece of land beyond.

For me this was a huge project but it is something that I am very proud of.

I was asked to recreate the tiki bar by my friend but I convinced her to go for something a little more permanent. So we ordered a garden bar 'kit' from Wickes which ended up being just a pallet full of standard sized timber, not panels (which I was expecting) and a photocopied set of instructions.

I built this tiki bar out of a couple of pallets and scrap timber back in 2018. Initially it was only made for single use for a back yard BBQ party but it's still there today as a garden feature.

I made this little outdoor storage unit for mops and buckets etc.

This house in Old Harlow was in need of some TLC.

Me and my colleague Graham Mcissac painted this huge 3 storey Edwardian semi in Bexhill over 10 days.

Here are some before and after photos of my cousin's five bedroom house in Sawbridgeworth. The property was extended into the roof (separate company) and I was charged with painting the house inside and out.
