Yes. Josh visits every job in person before quoting. That means the price you get is based on what the job actually involves — not a figure pulled from thin air over the phone. There are no surprises once work begins.

For most jobs, Josh can supply materials and include them in the quote. If you have specific products in mind — a kitchen you've already chosen or tiles you've picked out — he's equally happy to work with those. It's worth discussing when you first get in touch.

It depends on the time of year and what's on the schedule. The best thing to do is get in touch with details of your job. Josh will let you know honestly where he's at and give you a realistic start date.

Work starts from £1,250+VAT per linear metre (unpainted). A typical project — such as a full bedroom of fitted wardrobes — comes in around £2,800, though the final figure depends on the size of the job, the materials used, and the complexity of the design. Josh visits in person before quoting, so you'll get a price based on your actual space, not an estimate.

Josh builds fitted wardrobes, alcove shelving, open shelving units, media walls, landing storage, and other custom built-in solutions. If you're not sure whether what you have in mind is feasible, the best approach is a quick conversation — he's happy to tell you either way.

Most fitted wardrobe jobs take between one and three days depending on the size and complexity. A full bedroom of floor-to-ceiling wardrobes with internal fitting and drawers will take longer than a simple alcove unit. Josh will give you a clear timeline when he visits and quotes.

The standard price is for unpainted storage — smooth and ready for painting. If you'd like it painted, Josh can discuss what's involved and either include it in the quote or leave the units ready for you to finish yourself. Worth raising when you get in touch.

Not usually. Josh and his assistant handle everything on the day. If the room needs to be cleared of furniture beforehand, Josh will let you know in advance and give you plenty of notice to sort it.

Yes. If you've already got a design in mind, measurements, or an idea from a showroom, Josh is happy to work from that as a starting point. Bring it along when he visits and you can go through it together.

Fencing starts from £270 per bay (concrete post, panel, and gravel board). The total depends on the number of bays, whether existing posts need to be removed, and any groundwork involved. Josh visits in person before quoting so you'll get an accurate figure rather than a rough estimate.

Josh mainly installs slotted panel fencing and bespoke batten fencing. Slotted fencing uses a concrete post system with interchangeable panels, which makes future repairs straightforward. Batten fencing has a more individual character and suits gardens where a standard panel wouldn't do the space justice.

Most standard residential fencing jobs take between one and two days. A larger garden boundary will take a little longer. Josh will confirm the likely timescale when he visits and quotes the job.

They do, yes. Concrete posts last significantly longer than timber posts and won't rot at ground level the way wooden posts do over time — especially in the clay soils common across Surrey. All of Josh's standard fencing installations use concrete posts and gravel boards, which is what gives the finished fence its longevity.

Yes, removal of the existing fence is included as part of the job. Josh and his assistant clear everything away, so you're not left with a pile of old panels and posts to deal with.

In most cases, a standard garden fence under two metres in height doesn't require planning permission. However, there are exceptions — particularly for properties in conservation areas, on a corner plot, or adjacent to a public road. If you're unsure, it's worth checking with your local authority before work begins.

A full bathroom installation typically comes in at around £10,000–£12,000, depending on the size of the room, the sanitaryware and tiles chosen, and whether any plumbing layout changes are involved. Josh visits in person before quoting, so the figure you get is based on your actual bathroom — not a standard estimate.

Most bathrooms take between one and two weeks from strip-out to final fit-off. A like-for-like replacement in a smaller room can be completed more quickly, while a larger room or one involving significant plumbing changes may take a little longer. Josh will give you a realistic timeline when he visits.

You can if you'd like to — Josh is happy to work with materials you've already chosen. Equally, if you'd prefer him to source everything and include it in the quote, that's also an option. Worth discussing when he visits so you can decide what works best for you.

Josh manages the full installation including coordination with plumbing and electrical trades. You won't need to organise separate contractors for different parts of the job — he handles all of that.

In most cases, yes. A full renovation involves stripping out the existing bathroom completely, which means it won't be usable during the works. Josh will give you a clear timeline upfront so you can plan around it. If you only have one bathroom and timing matters, it's worth mentioning that when you get in touch.

All types. Whether it's a straightforward like-for-like replacement, a complete redesign, an en-suite, a wet room, or a compact family bathroom — Josh has fitted all of them. If you have something specific in mind, the best thing to do is get in touch and talk it through.

A full kitchen installation typically starts from around £9,000–£11,000 depending on the kitchen specification, room size, and whether any plumbing, electrical, or structural work is involved. Josh visits in person before quoting, so you'll get a figure based on your actual job rather than a standard estimate.

Most kitchen installations take between one and three weeks. Larger kitchens or those involving significant reconfiguration will take longer. Josh will give you a realistic timeline when he visits and quotes, so you can plan around it.

Yes. If you've already chosen a kitchen from a retailer, Josh can fit it. Bring the plan and specification along when he visits so he can assess what's involved and quote accordingly.

Josh manages the overall installation and coordinates any necessary trades. You won't need to arrange plumbers or electricians separately — he handles all of that as part of the project.

All types. Whether it's a simple in-line kitchen, an L-shape, a U-shape, a galley, or a kitchen-diner requiring a more complex layout — Josh has fitted them all. If you have a specific project in mind, get in touch and talk it through.

Yes. Josh will need the kitchen empty before work begins. He'll give you a clear start date in advance so you have time to sort it — including sorting temporary cooking and washing arrangements.
