We have now had our kitchen extension for 8 months... and absolutely love it. It has made such a difference to our way of living.
Dan and his lads made a superb job and Dan's help and advice were invaluable. He is a perfectionist and this isn't always easy to find in the building trade. It was on a recommendation that we found Shaw home improvements and we have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone. We will never go anywhere else.

Dan and the team have not long finished a kitchen extension for us and I could not recommend them enough. The job was handled very professionally and work was completed to the highest standard. We needed to amend plans during the build and the team were great and helped carry out more work for us. They were a pleasure to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate giving them a call for more work in the future. Thanks Dan and the team.

This was our first renovation so we didnt really know what to expect. Throughout the whole process Dan and his team have exceeded expectations from start to finish making the full project painless. Dan was always on hand to give any advice and available to answer any queries no matter how big or small. The quality of their work is exceptional and we were kept updated throughout all parts of the build. Dan and his team have completely transformed our home and we couldnt be happier with the results. I honestly wouldnt consider anyone else but Shaw Home improvements for any future works which

We asked Dan for a quote having read the testimonials of previous customers. We found Dan to be very professional and straightforward in all aspects of his work, his quote was competitive. The price he quoted was the price we paid. The work was carried out on time by his workmen who were not only skilled in their work, but very considerate towards us whilst the work was ongoing. Our neighbours commented on how professional Dans team were. In view of the quality of the work we asked for a quote for further work. The quote was fair, and the work was carried out on time by skilled workmen. It

I would have no hesitation in recommending this company for all significant forms of building work. I recently undertook what for me was a major building project involving the erection of an extension and a substantial porch, replacement of all downstairs flooring, replacement bathroom and new downstairs WC in a challenging location. Not knowing where to start I did some research online and was impressed with the professional nature of this companys website and the very positive customer testimonials. This professionalism was reflected from my first meeting with Dan Shaw until the completion

Dan and his team completely renovated my dated bungalow. Adding an extension to the rear with a feature sky lantern and a loft conversion giving me the space and home I could only dream about. I am so happy with the workmanship, dan and his team were polite and informative thought all stages and I am delighted at the finished project. I could not recommend Shaw Home Improvements enough and I will definitely be using them again in the future.
