The above pictures represent snapshots of my work. Should you wish to see a project in more detail, please visit my projects page here.
My apprenticeship dates back to the 1970s working for my father; a highly respected local builder based south of Bristol in the Wrington/Congresbury/Chew Valley area. He was without equal for his application, workmanship and integrity.
Yet, following an excellent education I pursued a successful corporate career path during the 1980s/90s. Eventually, job satisfaction grew non-existent. Never one to shirk hard physical work, I changed direction.
Now I combine some of my late father’s skills with my commercial experience to manage and liaise with clients who entrust me as stonemason / landscaper for their projects.
I will assess your project; offer creative and practical input and then provide a detailed cost with timing estimate. Should I be favoured to carry out your work you will find you have engaged a craftsman who is efficient & hard-working as well as conscientious & communicative.
Please read my testimonials. They are genuine. Hopefully yours will be added soon.
