An absolutely fantastic review to finish the year off! Karl has been back this morning to grout the path and do the final clean and it looks superb! We've been very lucky with deliveries on time, skips changed ASAP but most of all, very well looked after by these lovely customers with homemade cakes, endless cups of tea and sausage sandwiches, a definite way to our hearts!

More work booked in here for 2026!

Thank you to every single customer, enquiry and reaction to posts this year, I hope everyone has a great Christmas and a superb new year! See you all in 2026, some great projects lined up including a house renovation, extensions and many more knockthroughs!

Happy Christmas πŸŽ„

Absolutely stunning transformation on this Victorian property in the heart of Diss over the last couple of weeks!

The previous area was high maintenance, impractical and with the soil higher than DPC and air brick level, it needed to be changed before it had adverse effects on the property.

- Fully excavated by hand due to electric, water gas and soil drains being present βœ…οΈ

- Existing wall cut back, a new foundation laid and a new pier built to widen the driveway entrance βœ…οΈ

- Driveway w**d membrane and 100mm of Type1 MOT laid and compacted βœ…οΈ

- 50mΒ² of Harvest Tegula block paving laid on sharp sand with bedded edges and a 10mm pea shingle border βœ…οΈ

- New storm water gulley surround and air brick surrounds βœ…οΈ

- Fully compacted and sanded with kiln dried sand. Pavement patched in to βœ…οΈ

- Concrete path laid to front door with roll top edgings. Victorian style tiles laid too (ready to grout next week - pictures to follow) βœ…οΈ

Absolutely over the moon with the results and the pictures don't do the customers colour choice justice! The area is now low maintenance, keeps vehicles off the road and improves the overall aesthetic. More work booked in for these lovely customers for next summer 🫑

Two weeks off now to enjoy time with my wife and children. Have a great Christmas and New Year all πŸŽ„πŸŽ…

Final edit:

All of the coats have now gone to homes that they deserve! I have literally had hundreds of messages so had to do things on a first come first serve basis. This really shows how many children are in need.

Thank you to every single person who has messaged, commented, reacted or shared this post, it raises the awareness that I was completely oblivious to until last week. I will 100% be doing this every year for the foreseeable, seeing the impact this has had.

Thank you each and every one of you.

Ill be delivering them this week, so if you see the van, give me a beep and a wave!

Matt

Afternoon all!

A bit of a different post from me rather than work related! I read an article last week that shocked me, around 300,000 children in the UK will be without a coat this winter due to family circumstances. Having 2 children myself and working outside 90% of the time, I wouldn't want any child to be cold this year!

I usually do a little free job each month to help someone out, but for December, I have purchased 10 new thermal coats for families who are in GENUINE need - if this helps genuine families out, I'd like to continue this every year, so please be honest.

If you have a child who is in need of a coat and want to remain anonymous to the public, please drop me a PM, or a message on my WhatsApp (07590990747) and I promise it will be completely confidential. I will personally hand deliver them too.

I have 2 of each of the following sizes:-
2 x 3-4 years
2 x 5-6 years
2 x 7-8 years
2 x 9-10 years
2 x 11-12 years

Have a great Sunday everyone!

11/11 - We will remember them πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Both my Grandparents and Great Grandparents served in WW1 & WW2 so I've always been fascinated by war, more so as I've become older.

I spent a lot of my childhood down at Thorpe Abbotts as its only a mile or so from Dickleburgh - playing in the buildings hidden in the woodland and pretending to be soldiers in the underground bunker looking over the airfield, so thought it was quite fitting to get a photo as I came home from my yard earlier by the runway. (Coincidence that a plane flew above the runway at the same time). Over 8500 missions were completed from this very concrete, with 732 American airmen never returning back to base.

Huge respect and thank you to the British and American servicemen and women past and present for your service to our country. πŸͺ–πŸŽ–

What a transformation!

From a tired and unusable decking area to a new Indian sandstone patio with a 10mm shingle border thats perfect for Tracey's morning coffee!

The area in question had become unsafe to use so the decision was made to strip the entire area. A new formation level was dug out, type 1 MOT laid and compacted and a new grey sandstone patio added in its place. Topped with a charcoal brickweave edge, it really sets the colours off! 🏑

The border was created with corten steel edgings, w**d membrane and pea shingle. A perfect area for all of the potted plants and an extra space for seating. 🧱

We were provided with bacon rolls, cakes and biscuits - a very welcome treat!

Just a snippet of the task undertaken this week! 🧱

Lovely customer in Langmere needed his 110mΒ² patio refreshed, along with this brickwork circle. Due to the slabs being over 25 years old and tender he opted for a 2 stage soft wash to remove the majority of the lichen, mould and algae rather than use a pressure treatment. This came up remarkably well considering it was only the 2nd clean in 25 years. All of the joints were then ground out and repointed. πŸͺ¨

With the circle, these bricks were over 150 years old and were originally part of the stable, which is now a stunning barn conversion. The customer and his late wife had this area laid when the conversion was done in the 1990s so it was very sentimental to him. All bricks treated, over 100 replaced with reclaim bricks and all joints filled with kiln dried sand to prevent any further plant life taking over! It's made a stunning transformation but retained the patina aesthetic. 🧱

Autumn is in full swing judging by the current weather we're having, but its better than working in the heat!

Just a snapshot of the jobs we've done over the last couple of months below. From the bigger jobs of extensions, patios and knockthroughs to the smaller jobs of fireplaces, window alterations, timber and tiled floors and much more...its been a very busy few months as always! 🧱

Myself and the team are currently working on a beautiful extension and renovation work to a property in Harleston which I will post updates of later in the week 🏑🧱

1st Anniversary of going self employed! 🏑🧱

A year ago I made a large jump to leave the builder I had worked for, for well over a decade and go solo! - It's the best decision I have ever made! 🏑

100s of new people met, a huge amount of repeat customers and some new customers along the way that have become very good friends. I've got a fantastic team with Dad and Karl on board working alongside me to get jobs done to the highest standard. 🧱

A massive thank you to everyone who has liked, shared or interacted with posts on here along with recommending me - 90% of my work comes from recommendations! A huge thank you to every customer over the last 365 days who has trusted me on their properties and to those customers that are booked in over the up and coming months!

The biggest thank you though goes to my wife and children for having the faith in me to take the leap and support me every step along the way ❀️ everything I do and every hour I work goes to making sure they will have the best life possible!

Great work from the team this week!
