If you wondered how we replace the tudor boards on a property like this?!
Part 3 is coming later on today 🫑

We had more hurdles than an Olympic event doing this job πŸ˜‚ if you have stuck around to watch us graft, its much appreciated.

Thanks for the support πŸ‘

Keep an eye out πŸ‘€

New video later today, and its not windows for a change πŸ˜…

This is a lovely family home, but its getting harder to maintain.

We fitted this job at the start of the year. We didnt have a lot of work on at the time, and it would keep us busy for a week or two.

I went with a low price to get the job so we couldnt afford any setbacks...... but we did! 🫣
Real Life Tradesman at its best!


Keep liking, commenting and sharing guys I really appreciate the support. Cheers πŸ‘

DOOMS DAY PREPPING!!

Hi guys,
Its Monday morning, another busy week ahead. Whatever you are upto, I hope you have a good one 🫑

As a tradesman this time of year always puts me in a false sense of security.
The diary is getting full, the weathers turning, days are getting shorter and with Cristmas.......

(yes I said it) πŸ˜… Christmas not too far away, customers are pushing to get all their jobs done!

Things can soon get a bit much, and overwhelming. But guess what, come January it all changes! 🫣

This time I want to dooms day prep a bit early this year πŸ˜‚

So...

If you are looking for any new windows/doors ect, in the New Year?

You want a proper job doing?

You have a kettle that works?

Drop me an email, we cover most of the NorthWest depending on the size of the job πŸ‘

Thanks you for all your support, we keep growing into the New Year! We love it ❀️

Many thanks,

Greg

Can you really learn how to plaster just by watching Youtube?!
Well my plasterer has just had knee surgery and it was too short notice to find someone else....So I sat down and watched the masters at work! 🫑

Watching loads of how to videos is one thing, but will I be able to put it into practice and do a PROPER JOB?
Or
is it just going to be a good laugh for you pros πŸ˜‚

Coming soon πŸ˜…πŸ‘
