“Richard completed the job of installing two new Velux windows in my loft so efficiently and skilfully. He certainly knows his craft very well.. and though he had only come for the windows. I knew from talking to him that he had skill and knowledge way beyond into carpentry. I wish I had met him before I had started converting the loft. I would not hesitate to get him back for some other major jobs. As a serious DIYer I was considering installing the windows myself, but then I came across Richard. He was so knowledgeable, professional, straightforward and with a very fair price and had excellent suggestions of where I could source the windows from, I thought why mess about and I booked him. I am so glad I did.”
Richard will visit you to look at your loft space to discuss loft conversion requirements. He will give you a ‘ballpark’ estimate and his availability.
Richard can organise draft drawings from his Architect.
When a design is agreed and a final estimate will be sent to you.
Roof windows have the best views, Richard is happy to pop round to give you a quote and suggestions for your new window(s). Recent clients decided they wanted a traditional Velux window upgraded and made bigger with a Cabrio style window. This abled them to stand in it and watch the sun go down. Very nice.
See my reference from Tim Price
“I wanted Richard to remove a couple of Velux windows and install a Velux Cabrio window – the type that becomes a balcony once fully opened. He even included a little step up to the balcony area which made our viewing platform even better. Richard’s work was impeccable. And he left the site clean every day. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Richard again… and he’s a lovely bloke!”
