Here are some before and after pictures of a recent kitchen completed In Newton le willows.
Everything taken back to brick as the plaster was loose and coming away. Everything rewired and skimmed. Then a new kitchen installed with tiled splashbacks and herringbone lvt floor.

A little later posting than planned, but we did it! 👏

Last week, a team of 7 of us completed the Mighty Hike around Ullswater (26 miles) in support of Macmillan Cancer Support.

It was without doubt one of the toughest challenges I've ever taken on, but every step was worth it. Together, we successfully completed the hike and raised an incredible £7,300+ for this fantastic charity.

A huge thank you to all of our customers, suppliers, friends and family who donated and supported us along the way. Your generosity helped us exceed our expectations and contribute towards the amazing work Macmillan does for people living with cancer and their families.

We're incredibly proud of what we achieved together and grateful to everyone who helped make it possible.

Thank you!

Here are some before and after pictures of a recent bathroom we have completed in Newton le Wilows, we removed the bath to install a walk in shower and moved over the basin and toilet to give more room to get in and out of the shower. Full floor was relapced as the boards has started to rot from a leak on the bath. The floor was tiled and all walls clad with carrera marble effect wet wall panels.

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated, commented, messaged, and shared my story and GoFundMe link. Your support means more than you know. ❤️

I also wanted to share some positive news. Today, I met with my consultant and was told that it looks like the chemotherapy has worked, and all of my scans are now looking back to normal. While I will continue to be monitored closely, we are taking this as a huge win and a moment to celebrate. 💙

Tomorrow, we’re heading over to Ullswater for an early night before taking on the Marathon Hike on Saturday for McMillan!

If you would still like to donate, I’ll share the link below.

I also want to say a special thank you to all of our loyal customers for your patience, support, and kindness throughout what has been a turbulent couple of years. Your understanding, encouragement, and continued support have meant so much to us and have helped us through some very difficult times.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We truly appreciate every message, donation, share, and kind word.
