Specialty Contractors in Hale.

“To whom it may concern, I was looking for a professional tiler to complete the installation of a victorian style black and white ceramic tile Floor in the hallway of my Edwardian house. As I am sure you will be aware there are a significant number of trades people available at differing rates with different levels of experience. Two of the worlds most successful people (Warren Buffet and Steve Jobs) did not set out to be rich but rather they focused on doing what they enjoyed and were good at to the best of their ability and the success came as a bi product. I feel this analogy is appropriate for Steve he has a deep passion and desire for his profession and as a result is very successful (and very busy with a significant order book). Steve is not focused on money or doing a quick job for a fast buck as is often sadly the case. For people who understand the difference between cost and value Steve is probably one of the best professional trades people you could meet. The value of his total offering is extensive and extends way beyond mere labour and contacts. He prepares and delivers training material and has a vast range of reference and portfolio material. If Steve doesn't believe he can help you he will be honest and say up front. I am a Chartered Mechanical Engineer and as my wife refers regularly to me as a nightmare with my unreasonable expectations and insistence on detail and quality (it takes my 4hrs to was my car)! I can honestly say Steve surpasses all my expectations, he even offered me advice for questioning other trades people who gave me quotes. One of the most important things I learnt was the unique nature of Victorian tiling ( contrary to one other tiler who visited me mistakingly highlighting "tiling as tiling mate")! The criticality' of the subfloor structure, the surface prep requirements and the fact that you often don't use spacers (owing to the tolerance variation and stack up of a large number of small tiles) Steve had a very funny tale about a job he did for a mathematics professor who initially disagreed with Steve on this matter. After much research and visits from three other tilers I decided that the only person who I would want to complete my project was Steve. Unfortunately by the time I had made my mind up he was booked for the slot he had provisionally offered me (he was tiling the Swedish national museum)! Coincidently I then had some time between jobs and I decided to attempt the tiling myself (which was not my initial intention as I have never done any before). To put it into perspective and show how skilled Steve is my job took my father in law and I 9 weeks (compared to Steves estimate of him alone doing it in circa 10 days)! I would never have been able to finish this without Steve and whilst the finish of my work is good I still could not achieve in 9 times longer what had could have done in a fraction of the time. I actually gave Steve a token for my appreciation which he didn't ask for but I felt the time and info he offered was invaluable. I very much doubt I will have another long period for which to undertake any more tiling so the only person I would have lay a tile in my house is Steve. I can't recommend him highly enough; if you are meticulous, have exceedingly high standards, value expert knowledge and appreciate the time and effort it takes to acquire then heritage tiling will not disappoint. Comparing an Ebay £250 "runabout" with a Bentley would have synergies when considering Steve as merely a "Tiler". Robert Rugen 18/04/2016”

“I needed an extractor fan replaced before my tilers came in to finish the bathroom. Hale electrical contractors were fantastic! Scarlet helped me get booked in around my tilers and work was completed. Really like the fan Usman recommended. Will use again in future”

“Great company, super friendly and professional. We had a hip to gable loft conversion with a full dormer on the rear with en suite bathroom and it has made such a difference to our property. The job was completed on time, exactly as quoted to an excellent standard. Top company, would definately recommend to friends and family.”

“Carl and his team recovered a settee and two chairs for me which look absolutely stunning. The workmanship was so good that we commissioned a bespoke sofa for another room. The sofa looks great and fits perfectly into our space. Having searched for hours to buy something ready made we are delighted to have got just what we want at a good price.”

“JJ Services have done many painting jobs for my whole family and many friends over a number of years. He is always the first person I call when we want work doing. I have no hesitation in recommending him”

“Liam and Paul with there team completed a garage conversion at my home in Prestbury in January. It is now an office with an WC. Would recommend them to anybody.”

“Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE our lounging booth. Colin came to see us outside of working hours so it gave us the chance to run through all our ideas together. He was professional, clean, quick, efficient and most of all extremely affordable. We are already working on where we can put a new dining booth :) Thanks again Colin”

“I stumbled across Laneys Upholstery on Facebook. I had an armchair which was in need of some serious TLC. I contacted Laneys and was instantly happy with how friendly and professional the staff were. I was keep updated throughout the process and provided photographs of the chair as it went from start to finish. I was absolutely delighted with the final outcome of my newly reupholstered armchair, it was better than expected! Thank you very much to mark and his team, I highly recommend Laneys and will be in touch with any work in the future.”

“Aura were recommended by our architect. As soon as I met Stuart, I was impressed with his knowledge, friendliness and professionalism. We had a number of repairs required to our grade II listed cottage, including rebuilding a chimney, rebedding ridge tiles, repointing, pinning a lintel and masonry repairs to a stone window jamb, all of which were carried out to the highest level of quality and competence using materials approved for listed buildings. The project was completed to budget and ahead of schedule. I would definitely use Aura in the future and am happy to give them a 5-star review.”

“Excellent service offered by Glenn and Jane. Superb quality sofa. Excellent service choosing the right fabric and great communication. Timescales for work agreed and stuck to. A pleasure to deal with. Thanks”
