No pictures of this job for obvious reasons but I was pleased to help with some Ring security cameras this week, including the installation of a WiFi Mesh network to extend the range and reliability.

That should improve the security of our customers' vehicles, garage etc and act as a deterrent.

Bit of a garden transformation this week, just in time for some April showers to help it all bed in

Another ceiling repair for a landlord in Andover. A leak in the upstairs bathroom has caused the overboarded plasterboard ceiling to collapse so we replaced it, skimmed and painted it.

Making the most of the spring weather today, so a little bit of light fencing for a local landlord

A couple of recent jobs that I didn't get round to posting...

1. a replacement shower screen
2. some simple rustic wooden seating which the client requested from reclaimed scaffold boards, fixed to some gabions around her fire pit

Now I really must remember to update this site....

We had a varied week, patching and plastering a kitchen ceiling, followed by painting to cover up the water marks.

Plus a day fitting some security cameras and sorting out the client's wifi set up and remote access to the cameras - no photos of that because... security :-)
