Derelict house
to turnkey
A whole project taken on and run — the groundwork and the shell by him, every trade after it booked, sequenced and checked, and the keys handed back ready for somebody to move into.

Who you ring when it goes wrong
On most jobs the answer is nobody, because six trades each hold one piece and the gaps between them are yours. On a project he takes on, the groundwork and the brickwork are his own hands and everything after it is his to book, sequence and check.

Asked often
Whole projects, answered
If yours is not here, ring and ask it.
What does taking on the whole job actually mean?
He does the groundwork and the shell himself, and books, sequences and checks the trades that follow — electrician, plumber, plasterer, roofer, joiner. You hold one conversation instead of six.
Do you use your own trades?
Yes. Electricians he uses all the time, and the rest are people he has worked alongside. Nobody turns up who he has not seen work.
Will you take on a derelict property?
That is the kind he likes. He is on a refurbishment now that goes back to the owner finished, ready to sell.
Residential or commercial?
He would rather do residential and that is most of the work, but he will look at anything — tell him what it is.

A photograph of where it is going and a rough size is usually enough to come back with a sensible figure. He will call you.
