Pete and his team carried out a full kitchen refurbishment. All work carried out to the highest standard. I can recommend Pete and would employ him again without hesitation.

We wanted a large double garage converted into a library because of the vast collection of books that we have, and we chose Pete because of his instant attraction to the project. From the start, he was brimming with enthusiasm, asking our opinions on changes and layout, and offering his own ideas from a more technical standpoint. His overall management of the work couldn't be faulted. He used a team of well-qualified and experienced bricklayers and glaziers, a craftsman plasterer, electrician and decorator, a great plumber, and all the laminate flooring, woodwork and book-shelving Pete took care of himself. Everyone was pleasant, hard-working and very skilled in their tasks. It took about a month - from "concept to completion" - and, despite the inevitably intrusive nature of the undertaking, at a time when we had only just moved into the house ourselves, the entire project was completed with the minimum of fuss and interference. Pete is very particular about his brews of tea and coffee, but he coped with the unwanted attentions of Holly the Collie, who naturally fell in love with him - indeed, with all the team - by presenting her rings and balls and various other rubber toys to what at times amounted to a building-site, and barking her demands when her quite obvious attractions were being ignored. We would heartily recommend Pete to anyone looking for home improvement of any kind. He's a great guy, with a good sense of humour, always considerate and thoughtful, and with an expectation of a high standard of finish in whatever he attempts. He welcomes discussion and input at every stage of a procedure, and is prepared to make changes even when decisions have been made and things are in place.

Peter was very thorough his workers likewise,his ideas were very good, everybody were very clean and tidy.and we were very impressed with how the kitchen turned out.

Really, really impressed with Pete. Thanks so much for your invaluable input. Bathroom looks amazing. Very highly recommended. See you again soon.

I can honestly say that we love our new bathoom, it is exactly as we pictured it, a bathroom to be proud of. Pete started with a discussion of what we wanted and from that point on nothing was too much trouble, he paid attention to every detail and ensured that all the work was of a extremely high standard. Thank you very much.

It will be nice when it's finished!! No, only joking!! First off, don't think Pete has ever met such a lacklustre pair as us?? After putting off having an update for years, we took the plunge and in a small 2 bedroomed flat, decided to go the whole hog and have a total re-vamp to the bathroom and kitchen. Any input from us as to what we wanted was extremely minimal to say the least! Think Pete, at the initial planning stage,honestly thought we were having a laugh due to our total lack of enthuisiasm, but he did get used to our "yea, whatever" answers!! It did take longer than anticipated, but that was mainly due to it being an old building,us adding to the "wish list" and unforseen problems, which were dealt with by Pete, without us having to give it much thought (phew!!) After a few days he became part of the furniture to the extent that we went away for the weekend happy in the knowledge that he would be there to keep an eye on the place for us!! We had initially decided to go with one of the D.I.Y. stores, but glad we didn't as I don't think they would have done the 101 little extra's required,and along with Pete's constant attention to detail meant we had a great job well done, rather than "Job done." We are pleased with the work from "The man, with a van and a plan" a.k.a. Llewelyn Bowen. He and the lads are trustworthy, honest and have a sense of humour, which they did need on some occasions in great abundance.

Pete, thanks for fitting our new shower cubicle so well. It looks really lovely and I have never seen anyone work so hard like that! The finish is a very high standard and I would not hesitate to book you again. It looks fabulous, and also you fitted us into your packed schedule as you knew we needed the shower doing, with having young kids. Thanks again.

Just a note to thank you for the wonderful new kitchen you have built for us. The design has everything in the right place and the finish and workmanship is first class. Particularly like the way you have disguised the boiler and the diamond pattern in the tiling. Really pleased with the whole thing. Helen & Jack Pattenden, Llandudno Jan 2011

Pete has completely changed my somewhat drab and dreary kitchen into one full of brightness and happiness! A complete joy to work in! Pete’s ideas and attention to detail is spot on and I he’s an honest guy to have in your home. PS to future clients – make sure you have lots of French coffee in your cupboard!!

Dear Pete, Thank you for the work you carried out for us recently. We are very pleased with the bathroom and the extra space created and of course the doors you fitted. It was your attention to detail we appreciated and will be happy to recommend your services to others. Mary & Charles Hughes Penrhyn Bay, March 2008
