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 Simpson Home Improvements replaced my fascias, soffits and gutterings. A very professional job at a very reasonable price. It was in fact half the price of a quote I had received from someone else!! Matt and the guy who came to carry out the works were very efficient and very friendly. ( And they like their cups of tea )!! I would certainly recommend Matt to anyone and will not hesitate to use him in the future for any other work that may be required.

Matt did a fantastic job decorating a very old cottage for us which was looking very dated! We were delighted with the work that he did and were even more pleased that he finished the job right on schedule and apart from some extra work I asked him to do right on budget too. We would have no hesitation in recommending Matt and would definitely contact him again.

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!!

Matt, just wanted to write to say what a fantastic job you and your team have made of refitting our kitchen. I know that having walls knocked down, kitchen ripped out, new walls built and completely new kitchen installed should have been stressful, but you made it so much easier for us by having such great guys working for you, cleaning up at the end of each day, sticking to your time line/schedule (whilst still accommodating our little changes along the way) and just generally being so personable all the way through. We’re absolutely thrilled with the result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to others. Thank you so, so much.

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 designed and built an en-suite shower room for us in what was a cupboard in our bedroom and the finished job was much more than we could possibly have expected. Matt and his team worked efficiently and were extremely friendly, the job was finished in two weeks and we are delighted with this addition to our home.

Matt replaced my tired old fashioned looking kitchen into a beautiful modern looking one. I am so pleased with it & can’t believe the difference, it even looks bigger & for a small kitchen that’s something!!! I am just so impressed! He also carried out a full and comprehensive re-decoration of my Hall, Stairs and Landing as well as my Lounge. Matt is very reliable & his workmanship is excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to friends, family or anyone who were looking for a very professional tradesman to transform their house into a beautiful looking home.
