Richard worked with us to remodel our kitchen. His professional approach meant that we had a clear plan of the works required and a detailed estimate of costs and timelines. It also meant Richard could plan to bring specialist skills in when required. His flexible working style also enabled us to adjust to unforeseen challenges of a Victorian house. We would highly recommend Richard, he manages a great team who are tidy, efficient, respectful and friendly in your home.

I can’t praise Richard enough, he’s been fantastic at my property. He’s reliable, and efficient. No job has been too big or small, and everything has been completed to an excellent standard. Richard goes above and beyond, often noticing things I hadn’t spotted and sorting them without any fuss. It’s a relief to have someone I can trust to do things properly and professionally. He’s always punctual, friendly, and leaves everything tidy, which makes a big difference. His attention to detail is outstanding, and he clearly takes pride in his work. He’s improved several aspects of my home, and I’ve been consistently impressed by the quality of what he delivers. I wouldn’t use anyone else now. If you’re looking for a handyman who knows exactly what they’re doing and genuinely cares about the result, I can’t recommend Richard highly enough. An excellent all-round service.

Richard has been carrying out work for several of our client's and they have always been thrilled with what he has done. We have always trusted him to carry out a high quality job and work with people some of whom are quite vulnerable.

We were very happy with the work Richard and his team did at our property. We had a varied list of maintenance and improvement jobs from putting in new doorways and windows, building steps, rendering and ventilation…all of which Richard and team did very quickly and well. When we weren’t sure about some of our options, Richard was happy to give advice. Completely recommended.

Great to hear from you! The summer house is absolutely fantastic – it’s everything we hoped for and more. The craftsmanship and attention to detail really shine through, and it’s been a brilliant addition to our home. The bar is still a work in progress (creative decisions take time, right?), but I’ll definitely send some photos once it’s all set up – I think you’ll approve!
It’s been such a pleasure working with you and the team – professional, reliable, and clearly passionate about what you do. The whole process felt seamless, and the end result speaks for itself. We’ve already had so many compliments from friends and family, and it’s quickly become everyone’s favourite spot to relax. Can’t thank you enough for bringing it all to life!
All the best,

Very happy with the work that I had done. From start to finish, the tradesmen were polite and professional. They removed an old bathroom, and created a wonderful en-suite in the next room. I also had years of problems with a leaking roof, but since the chimney has been fixed, I have not experienced any further leaking.

My first responder for building issues. Recently very efficiently reinstated a bathroom where the ceiling had collapsed causing much damage when a Victorian lead roof gully had failed.

Rich has been covering the maintenance of my large holiday let for nearly 10 years. Rich and his team are a pleasure to work with. Totally professional, honest and with great communication. He has completed countless maintenance tasks to a very high standard both inside the house and garden. He has been my 'first responder' on several occasions when I have had catastrophic maintenance issues during the holiday season and has repaired the damage quickly and to a high standard whilst being respectful and courteous with my guests. Not only would I recommend, but I would urge you to select Southside.
