This project was the biggest to date in my 8 years of trading as Matt Simpson Home Improvements.

Including new En-suite and main Bathroom, 2 single bedrooms knocked through into 1 large bedroom, re-designed and built triple sliding wardrobe to master bedroom, fully decorated throughout, new cloakroom, 55m2 of engineered oak flooring and finally an existing kitchen/dining room and utility room knock through to create a new open plan family kitchen/utility/diner.

The planning for these works took around 24 working hours to gather a final quote plus an additional 16 hours to provide a working schedule which incorporated no less than 6 trades at different times to work in conjunction with the next!!

Sub-Contractor Electricians, Plumber, Plasterer, Decorator and Floor supplier were used during the 9 weeks plus my trades which, on this project, included carpentry, kitchen fitting, floor laying, tiling and decorating.

Beginning on the first floor we worked through the bedroom knock through then onto the en-suite before concentrating on the main bathroom then moving downstairs to carry out all of the ‘1st fix ‘ alterations like removing all of the dividing walls necessary and all electrical, plumbing and plastering works.

The bathroom was then completed along with all of the 1st floor decorating then after the new kitchen/utility/diner had been created and plastered this was fully decorated before the new kitchen was installed and the engineered oak flooring laid.

Finally, the cloakroom was completed and all of the 2nd fix electrics and plumbing finished to mean that the proposed schedule of 8 weeks and 3 days was bang on target !!!!

The customers have left a glowing testimony detailing the whole teams input and care taken during this whole project of which I am incredibly proud.

Matt took on a complete renovation of our ground floor which included a knock through of a kitchen / diner, utility room, downstairs WC, hallway and lounge. The work started at the end of November and was completed on time by 14 February. With 2 small children we appreciated the adherence to timescales! Matt and his team did the following for us; knocked down a wall between the kitchen and dining room to create an open plan space, removed an old supporting chimney and installed an RSJ, lifted the entire ground floor to insulate between wooden joists, blocked in a doorway, plastered, wired new electrics, plumbed, decorated throughout up to and including the stairs and landing, tiled in the WC, utility and kitchen, fitted a brand new kitchen, utility and appliances, fit new doors, skirting and architrave throughout. It was a lot of work! Matt is highly professional and was excellent at communicating throughout the project. He was very flexible and happy to accommodate some changes along the way, offering his advice and recommendations too which we appreciated. I've no doubt Matt will be back in our house to help us with the upstairs soon and we would happily recommend him.

We’ve had Matt round to take out a fitted wardrobe, tile our bathroom, fit a new window, install a new kitchen and tile our utility room. His work is of a very high standard and he is a pleasure to have around. We were especially delighted with our beautiful kitchen, Matt did an excellent job, which took the exact amount of days he estimated. He quickly sorted out any minor problems that arose and as a consequence, the upheaval of having the kitchen refitted was a lot less stressful than we imagined it would be! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Matt and will definitely have him back to do more work on our home.

My wife wanted our new kitchen completed before the Summer Holidays, as all our relatives would be travelling over to see us from North America, USA and Canada. Our original contractor let us down, and was unable to do the work in the time frame that we needed it done. I contacted Matt purely on spec, and got an immediate reply, he visited us and stated he could do this when we wanted. After taking measurements, he sent us a planned diagram of the kitchen to our specification, and gave us the estimate. It was slightly more expensive than what I had originally hoped, however Matt was timely, worked constantly and is very professional and dedicated, the products were of a superior quality and the workmanship was superb. This was all done and completed in a matter of days, and my wife and I are delighted with the overall result, and exactly what she wanted. I cant say enough of how impressed I am by the quality, look and workmanship, certainly a good investment and now a very functional kitchen. I would recommend Matt Simpson to anyone.

After many years of tenant and landlord neglect, it was clear that a major re-design and build was required in all internal areas of the property. To say the project was a large and challenging one was an understatement. No such problem for Matt! The quote for a total refurbishment of the interior of the property was competitive and Matt assured us, under his Project Management, he and his team could complete the works within 8 weeks. At this stage, I have to admit to being a little sceptical that this could be achieved in the time allocated, especially given the enormity of the project. This included; total refurbishment of En-Suite, Bathroom and Cloakroom, remodelling 2 small Bedrooms to create 1 large Double, creating a new Built-In Wardrobe for the Master Bedroom, laying 55m2 of Engineered Oak Flooring throughout the Ground Floor, new Window Shutters fitted and, the pièce de resistance, knocking-through the separate Dining Room, Utility Room and Kitchen to create a wonderful Open Plan social space that still continues to take our breath away! A complete redecoration of all areas, including large electrical works, was also undertaken by Matt and his Team. Matt and his Team never once let me down on this account (and yes, I am hard to please) and collectively have transformed our house into a home Rachel and I can be proud off.

Matt was recommended to us by a friend after we had admired her lovely kitchen! Our kitchen was fitted within and probably just short of the time frame with minimal disruption! Matt is a perfectionist – we love the final result! We would recommend his work – just make sure there are plenty of biscuits and tea to go around!!

We asked Matt to quote for our new kitchen in October. He gave us a date and what I thought was a very reasonable quote so we decided to go for it. We bought our kitchen through Wickes (in hindsight We should of used Howdens). Matt turned up on site and on time. He also organised the plasterers and plumbers. They also turned up on time and completed work within their time slots. Not only did Matt remove the old kitchen, organised the skip, installed the new kitchen, floor and wall tiles! Plus he also did the mist coat and finished the ceiling painted, and installed a new internal door and skirting! The photos show for themselves.....Matt finished all his jobs to an extremely high standard and having worked in the construction industry for 25 years myself, I was deeply impressed by his standard. I would thoroughly recommend his work. Matt stayed within quoted budget and my pretty high expectations. Over all very very happy with all Matt has done,.....dream kitchen....completed.
