We initially required the services of someone who would be willing to do a small job of fitting our Miele Steamer and Plate Warmer, which we had previously used as freestanding appliances at our rural property. Upon moving to our new apartment and knowing how difficult it is to get any trades-person/s to accept small jobs, we approached the retailer where we'd purchased our Miele washer and dryer, for our apartment. Gavin was referred. We were relieved and pleasantly surprised when Gavin agree to take on our work requirements, as meagre as they were.

Gavin has consistently executed an extremely high standard of workmanship as a commensurate professional and has proven over time that he is reliable, thorough, trustworthy and an extremely patient and versatile craftsman who strives for perfection, no mater the size or type of project being undertaken.

During the past three years, Gavin has completed a number of projects, which required blending into our new apartment's design features. Additional to the housing of our Miele appliances, other projects have included the design and construction of a multi-functional office area, laundry cabinet and utility storage unit. Each project has often involved converting a useless void into a practical, sympathetic and functional ‘masterpiece', which we couldn't imagine living without.

Innovate design and craftsmanship that parallels European standards has become an expectation, due to Gavin's currency in products and materials used in his inspirational work sourced from abroad. This is achieved by Gavin's regular attendance at a variety of European Expos e.g. Milan and Spain, as examples.

A bonus to the ‘official work' is Gavin's vast knowledge, which he draws upon from his expertise and extensive travels. Gavin enlightens us with an interesting mix of topics from his passion for great coffee, slow food movement and designed concepts.

We have recently sold our apartment and have purchased a home that is 16 years old and in desperate need of modernising. When we initially viewed this property, it's potential brought our thoughts instantly to Gavin as the craftsman who could fulfil our plans and ideas and turn them into reality. We'll be definitely calling upon Gavin in the near future and have no hesitation in recommending his work!
