New bathroom, including redesign of plumbing and layout.
 
Cost: £10000
 

"Twenty years ago Tony installed a new bathroom for us.

Since then he has fitted a new kitchen, new bedroom furniture, put up shelves, fixed wobbly doors, renovated our daughter's house, changed windows into French doors, sorted our numerous leaky pipes, reconfigured our 17th century cottage in the Lakes, converted an old barn into luxury holiday accommodation and sorted out the pointing on our roof.

Last month he came back and replaced that original bathroom, changing it from a well-used family one to a gorgeous place for adults to relax in.

And every job has been the same - high quality workmanship, a positive "can do" attitude to all the issues that arise, a first-class team of staff and the ability to make dreams come true whilst still working to an agreed budget.

To anyone looking for a builder they can trust, speak to Tony.

Bedroom floor repaired
 
Cost: £264
 

"Called up Tony who came over to our house and looked at work would be required. He then quoted hourly price and that it would probably take around 4 hours. Was booked in hassle free. Chris and Dan arrived on time on the morning work was undertaken. They were polite and very friendly. They looked at the floor and decided it would be best to dismantle the bed frame which they did themselves, they then showed me where the issues were and carried out the work. Left the area clean and tidy. Very happy with the service. Will use for further work when required."

Fitting a new, larger loft hatch with integral ladders and architrave.
 
Cost: £408
 

"Excellent from start to finish.
Contacted Tony on a recommendation and he responded quickly to look at the job, was helpful and professional throughout and I had a quote emailed soon after. He was extremely helpful in tailoring the quote and scope of works to our needs and fit within budget.
Work was arranged and Chris arrived on site early to set up and get started. Job was carried out to an excellent standard and Chris was friendly and extremely clean and tidy! I will definitely use again on future projects and would thoroughly recommend!!"

Cost: £2640
 

"I contracted Tony’s company to replaster a wall and do others bits and bobs in the house. I was very satisfied with Tony and Neil’s work throughout, from the initial conversations about what I needed, to the solution ideas they proposed, to their prompt response and keeping to our agreement, to the transparency in their business with me. I was very satisfied with the quality of the work they did, the care they put in making sure furniture was protected, cleaning after, and responding to small things that had to be done some days after they completed the work. I was very satisfied with their communication with me and ability to work with me, their politeness, approachability, and sense of humour. Strongly recommend."

Kitchen renovation - taking out existing wall units, liaising with other trades - electricians, joiners, plasterers - then installing new shelving, dishwasher, tiling, significant number of other jobs around the house.
 
Cost: £2000
 

"We have used Tony and his team at SmarterHome4U for many years and I wouldn't think of using anyone else. He was able to understand exactly what we were trying to create in our kitchen and he was able to deliver our ideas on time and in budget.

Tony arrived exactly when he said he would and always tidied up afterwards. He liaised with the other trades such as electrician, joiner and plasterer, to make sure that everyone was where they should be and at the right time.

He was also more than happy to add a few extra jobs onto the work - all those little niggly things such as doors that won't close!

To summarise if you want some work doing in your house - from fitting kitchen taps to full scale extensions - then Tony and his team should be the first people you call. They're trustworthy, professional, full of ideas and lovely to have in your home."

Kitchen and dining room extension, with new kitchen. downstairs shower room and toilet fitted.
 
Cost: £40000
 

"Smarter Home 4U turned our dreams and the architect’s plans into reality. We now have a fabulous family living area and kitchen which accommodates the whole family when visiting.
Tony Chris and Jack were easy to have around during the 4-5 months the project took to complete and were not phased when inevitable issues occurred during the construction. The house was built in 1870 and certain things were only found during the construction process, but we were kept informed at all times.
We were also given a clear timetable and Smarter Home 4U co-ordinated the various different trades that were needed during the build and everyone was on site whenever we were told they would be.
Inevitably there was a lot of dust but we were very impressed with the tidiness of the site at the end of each day and the respect they showed to our property.
We are extremely pleased with the final result and have no hesitation in recommending Smarter Home 4U. We would certainly use them again if the need arose.

Gutters fixed, cleaned and altered. Wooden drawers fixed.
 
Cost: £222
 

"Great service.
Arranged mutually convenient time.
Arrived on time.
Polite and good communicator.
Work done to high standard.
Fixed wooden drawers that at least 4 other tradespeople had said could not be fixed - and this saved us hundreds of pounds on replacement and avoided waste.

Finishing off major house renovations after our original builder had badly let us down. Including installing new ceiling in cellar, new waste pipes, water pipes and guttering on back wall, tiling, hanging new doors throughout, fixing plumbing and joinery work not completed properly by original builder, etc etc.
 
Cost: £8000
 

"The team at Smarter Home 4U spent two and a half weeks finishing off our major house renovations in March 2019. They were very professional and hard-working, and completed all the work to a very high standard. They absolutely saved us after our original builder had badly let us down. I can highly recommend them!"

Tony and team revamped an old shower room for us.
 
Cost: £5000
 

"Tony and team revamped an old shower room for us. There was a slight hick-up with an equipment order at the start of the job, but in my experience you can tell most about a service provider when things DON'T quite go according to plan, and the issue was dealt with very well.

The work was all to a very high standard, and I feel very confident that if any issues do arise in the future then they will again be dealt with appropriately. Happy to recommend."

Bathroom refit

"After contacting several other tradesmen we really struggled to find someone to fit our new bathroom, once we found Tony and his team we felt so relieved. He was able to start work within the matter of weeks. Throughout the process they came when they said they would and always arrived on time if not early, the work was completed to a high standard but at an affordable price. Once work began we were also looking for a tradesman to remove and brick up an external door, tony priced up the job at a much cheaper price than elsewhere and once again the job was done to an amazing standard. Overall we are extremly pleased with the finished results and are very happy customers."

Under stairs wall knocked through and storage cupboard built.

"I contacted Tony after being let down by two other tradesman.
We received a prompt reply and a professional service from the initial enquiry up until the work was completed.
We are extremely happy with our new storage space and cupboard.
The work was finished to a high standard, in the given timescale and at a reasonable price.
Tony and his team are punctual,reliable, polite and professional .
Which unfortunately in our experience we have found to be rare.
All rubbish was cleared away and everything was left clean and tidy.
We would definitely use Tony and his team for future work on our home and would not hesitate to recommend this company to others.

Outdoor plumbing work

"I contacted Tony when I had an issue with some outdoor plumbing which was causing a real headache in the garden. At first I had thought I'd not be able to get it sorted without a massive amount of upheaval (the pipes were located in a very awkward place) but Tony and his gang managed to find a speedy solution meaning my issue was dealt with quickly and for a very good price. I would thoroughly recommend this firm for their effectiveness, professionalism, price and above all, friendliness. Great job guys!"

Converting an old derelict barn into a luxury holiday let. From initial meetings with the architect, liaising closely with Building Inspectors, working with utility supply companies to install electricity, water and gas supplies and then finally managing and delivering the full range of building services (roofing, electrical, plastering, tiling, joinery). Working in partnership with heritage dry stone wallers to ensure that the new property matched existing buildings. Creating a mezzanine bedroom area, fully fitted kitchen, shower room, installing a new staircase. Repurposing many existing structural features such as timber frames, limestone floor tiles, acid-washing a feature stone fireplace. Ensuring that the whole project was kept to an agreed budget and timeframe.

"An absolute pleasure to work with Tony and his team - couldn't imagine doing such a large renovation project without him.
He achieved that perfect balance between keeping me informed of progress or issues and yet making appropriate decisions himself when needed.
Always kept the site tidy and organised, very respectful of the impact of his work on neighbours - to the point where they said they would miss him when he finally finished!
Tony manages to keep an eye out for the smallest detail as well as seeing the bigger picture and is happy to share many years of building experience when you have a query.
More than happy to highly recommend him to anyone who is considering their own "Grand Design" project - no matter what the size!

Smarter Home 4U were commissioned to supply and install a new loft hatch, ladders and board as much useable space in our loft as possible.
 
Cost: £800
 

"They provided a quote, turned up on time on the booked day. They performed an excellent installation, tidied up after themselves and even managed to get us more space to use than I anticipated.

They came in on budget and under time.

These guys managed to under promise and OVER deliver. I would not only be happy to recommend them, but am already booking them for another job."

"Job assessed, good quality new window provided with our preferences taken into account, work excellent and efficient and house left clean. All at a fair price. Tony carried out a job for us previously and we would certainly use him again.

Tony is a good communicator, listened to what we wanted - and delivered it, on time and at a fair price."
