"I initially hired Tony Bull on the basis of a random selection from the Yellow Pages. He turned up for the job with an exceptionally tidy van and this struck me as being a hallmark of a careful craftsman: the kind of man who would respect your home.

"Over the many years since that first encounter I have worked with Tony, and latterly his son, Christian, on a number of projects both at my home and for a church where I act as Maintenance Co-ordinator.

"Their assignments have ranged from changing a tap washer to installing a large scale central heating system in the church. My most recent jobs with them have been the installation of two new bathrooms and a total kitchen fit-out at my house, all three high value enterprises.

"First and foremost, the team is 100% reliable. They keep appointments meticulously and the client is always kept informed of time scales. Tony presents clear and comprehensible estimates and is adept to managing work within the agreed budget. He has access to a skilled pool of other trades which enable him to engage in projects way beyond any personal limitations. One of the pleasures of working with him is that he can provide a total service. All his co-workers share his values and clearly respect his expectations as a demanding project manager.

"Whilst Tony and Christian both reflect a high level of ability as practical tradesman, they are both excellent at the design stage of a project. They can provide really good ideas and their acquaintance with modern products and an informed knowledge of how buildings work make their input at the beginning of a scheme especially worthwhile. They are particularly aware of the demands placed by buildings of “heritage” status.

"It goes without saying that the father and son partnership is scrupulously honest and can be trusted to safeguard clients' property. Their honesty is also reflected in their charges which are extremely competitive. I recommend this firm without reservation."
