The team were polite and professional and completed the work promptly. Site cleanup was thorough. I found Kevin's team easy to work with and would recommend them." > — Bronwyn (5.0, via NoCowboys) > "Totally brilliant. They came, they quoted, they did the job as per quote, tidied up the site- inside and out-, AND found and fixed holes in my soffitt which i would never have found. Charged as per the quote. Friendly polite guys who just got on with it!!! IT was taking the chimney below the roofline, removing the flu, removing the fire and hearth, making good the inside wall and outside roof. After follow up call had the giant bin removed that day. Unhesitating recommendation Joe" > — Joe (5.0, via NoCowboys) > "Oh no! Our very pretty fireplace and chimney were condemned! Professional, efficient and perfectionist, Kevin visited to scope the job and to advise us of the extent of the work. His quote was accurate, his demolition team were fast, clean, and efficient. The lads stacked the bricks where we wanted, the rubble was put in the skip, and the yard was cleaned up before they left. Mike did a superb craftsman job on the floor, using recycled matai. Kevin matched exactly the t&g on the ceiling" > — Ian (5.0, via NoCowboys) ## Trades Builder ## Independent verification _What MyTrustedTraders independently checked for this business (verified items only):_ - Review volume: MTT is showing 75 public reviews on this profile.
