Matthew and his team were amazing from start to finish! They are professional, knowledgeable, clean workers and very respectful of working in a busy family home! Matthew was able to... read more provide different solutions for any problems and nothing was too much trouble. The finish of my fitted wardrobes is exceptional and was tailored to meet my needs! Would highly recommend this service and shall certainly be using them again!

Matthew and his team are a breath of fresh air. They pride themselves on reliability, and rightly so. They ask great questions, make astute suggestions (seriously, some really smart ideas... read more for how to make the projects they worked on for us better) and give wonderfully detailed quotes. They take a lot of pride in their work, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Matthew also knows lots of other great tradespeople and is happy to make introductions. I recommend them without hesitation and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Over the years in our various houses we have had extensions put on, gone into the roof, re-wired, re-plumbed - and can honestly say that Matthew and George of Smart... read more and Simple Home Improvements are the best builders we’ve ever used. They recently fitted sliding baskets and drawers into all the cupboards under our work surface and they are perfect. You can see everything in them by simply pulling them out and looking down so no more kneeling and then crouching down to try and reach things in the back and trying not to tip forward. They did this while also working on a very large project for my son, putting a roof on a 90 square metre building and then using Sips panels to build two well-insulated rooms inside. They only have one way of working: plan it, measure it – and do it right. From the very beginning they are precise, meticulous and professional – they are also quiet, considerate and friendly and have a team of trades to call in as needed. When it’s your house you want peace of mind, you want the work done right and to know it will last. With Matthew and George we have every confidence that is the case and were sorry to see them go when the job came to the end - and that’s a first! Kati & John Pitsea PS. George doesn’t look anything like his website photo, he’s much taller.

Excellence service from Mathew & his team. From planning to completion we were also kept up to date & no question was too small. We simply love our Garden Room... read more & would not hesitate to use them again & are definitely top of our recommendation list.

The quality of service was always professional, courteous and and extremely helpful. I had 2 double cupboards removed and wall to wall wardrobes fitted which I am so happy... read more with the finished outcome. I wasn't aware Matthew did many other improvements until recently and I know I'm passing on my recommendations with confidence to my family and friends who will equally want and receive the same service. A big thank you, it was so much appreciated and I will be in touch again. Nikki Hatwell

I had panelling done on my hall,stairs and landing, and I am very happy and pleased with the quality and workmanship of Matthew and his team, also they were very... read more clean and tidy, I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Teresa

Matthew and George were really professional and did a great job of updating our kitchen. They were also really helpful in finding a solution to add some detail into our... read more doors. These were finished to a really high standard just like the kitchen. Would definitely recommend them.

We had our stairs and landing panelled by Matthew and George from Smart & Simple Home improvements and we're absolutely delighted with the results! Matthew is incredibly professional, thorough and... read more ensures the job is done to a very high standard. I'm already thinking working out when we can next book them in to do the various other jobs we need completed!

Had Matt and George back in our home to install new fitted wardrobes, this is the 3rd project they have completed for me,and I now wouldn’t use anyone else. Beautiful... read more wardrobes fitted to our needs and budget. They are so skilled and knowledgable and they make the experience as painless as they can. A pleasure to deal with.

Had some problems with our floor which were of real concern to us, Matt and his team removed old floor and did extensive remedial work, everything was explained step by... read more step and solutions were found, they then laid a whole new floor and skirtings throughout. This team is top knotch, very professional and a pleasure to deal with, would not hesitate to use them again

Have used smart and simply home improvement for a replacement decking and kitchen and would highly recommend. They were helpful, polite and professional throughout.

Highly professional from the start. We found that Matthew and his team had excellent knowledge, were able to advise on solutions to issues and, from beginning to end, provided... read more a very high quality service which was good value. The team was superb and delivered a great outcome that surpassed out expectations. We are extremely pleased with the project and will certainly be recommending them and would definitely employ Matthew and the team again on future projects.

Matt and his team replaced the flat roof of our porch with a new Rubber Roof. Very professional from start to finish. Matt kept me informed every step of the... read more way and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future. Highly recommend Smart & Simple Home Improvements.

Cannot recommend this company enough! In January, they remodelled our kitchen, arranged and assisted with a full rewire/make good of our entire house and constructed a walk-in wardrobe. Cannot... read more wait for our next project to begin! From first enquiry to completion of work I have never had such good communication or customer service from a company and to top it off the quality of work has been excellent too. Never any issues in terms of them not showing up when expected; they were always bang on time, well presented, polite and extremely helpful. There were a few issues along the way (with my house, not them!) and they were brilliant at keeping me updated, explaining what needed to be done and keeping me updated with costs. Their prices are competitive and the quality of work is outstanding. I also like that they are not shy about saying when something is not within their area of expertise and bringing in an expert. Both the plasterer and electrician they brought in were also brilliant. When the job escalated, they made sure to make themselves available to complete the works to avoid me being left in the lurch/with unusable spaces and got it all done to a high standard. I honestly cannot say a bad word about them and would happily recommend them - in fact they have recently been to quote on some work for our family!

Matthew along with his team designed and constructed a deck for us, that facilitates very stylish access to our new (raised) garden shed. From the outset Matthew came up with... read more some innovative ideas to deal with the access, various levels and tricky angles at the bottom of the garden. The finished project exceeds our expectations, with the stylish construction giving us a feature that we can use for so much more than access to the shed. The work was completed to a very high craftsmanship level, which coupled with the use of quality material will certainly stand the test of time. Matthew and his team were courteous, responsive and helpful throughout the project. They delivered the deck within budget despite some unforeseen extra ground works and an extended build period, Many thanks to Smart and Simple for delivering despite some very trying weather conditions. We would definitely recommend. Andrew & Carol.

Would liked to have given more than 5 stars Matthew and his team were outstanding. Recently finished building a Dunster cabin for us. Very informative, and always checked with... read more us first before proceeding with certain parts. Great sense of humour,polite and Punctual. If your thinking of having any work done please give Matthew a call, You won't be disappointed. Thankyou so much for our cabin 😁 Jeff and jayne

I cannot recommend Matthew and the team enough, they were professional from start to finish and done a fantastic job of my panelling.

Very good service. Would recommend

We had built a timber extension to the rear of our home, the only problem is that it looked somewhat ugly and needed an injection of imagination to complete the... read more outside to make it look aesthetically pleasurable to look at. Smart and Simple transformed the whole look within days with beautiful natural wood cladding and complimenting sides completing the roof soffits etc. We left Smart and Simple to use their creativity and artistic licence and we were not disappointed, they have created a stunning focal point to our garden and I am so pleased we made the right choice of tradesmen to undertake this project. Polite, understanding, and above all well within our budget. This was well thought out, and met our expectations. Thank you.

We had Matt & George back for another project. This time a bedroom wardrobe conversion. The 2 door built in cuboard was no longer big enough for my daughter so... read more a larger wardrobe was planned. The bedroom next to our daughters also had a smaller built in wardrobe. Matt was able to knock through from a blank wall in our daughters room, into this wardrobe & design, build & install a much bigger, triple sliding door wardrobe. We took Matts advise again on the construction and great ideas for the finished look. Good communication throughout the project. A very professional service and a great quality of workmanship. Matt and George did an excellent job and our daughter is really happy with the more modern looking wardrobe. We would highly recommend their services .

I am so pleased with the work completed in my house. Matthew is very professional, spending time discussing ideas and different designs. I cannot fault any of the work... read more and I would highly recommend matthew and his team. We are very much looking forward to the next project in our house and would now not have any other Compnay completing the work!

Outstanding experience with Matthew and his team. Listened to what we wanted and delivered in value and time. George was outstanding from start to finish. Was professional respectful and very... read more competent in his work. Would highly recommend.

Exceptionally professional and courteous - amazing quality of work and service - our Utility Room built and double and single interior doors fitted to a very high standard, including very... read more awkward and difficult angled architrave! Any questions or queries fully answered and always more than happy to provide advice and suggestions contributing to the overall successful build! Thank you Matthew and George for making the experience a very pleasant one! Cannot recommend them highly enough - will most certainly be using them again!

This is the 2nd time I have used Matthew and his team and super impressed with the quality of work, attention to detail and overall service provided. From initial... read more visit they immediately understood our requirements and came up with a design that met the brief perfectly. Also helped sort out everything from electrics to plastering to rubbish collection. They are also a genuinely great bunch of people and a pleasure to have working in our home. Highly recommended and will definitely be using them again soon.

If you are looking for a professional, punctual and friendly company for your next home improvment job then look no further. I contracted Matt and his team to remodel... read more my garden and replace our rotten old decking. Matt was involved right through the planning stages, offering helpful insight into what could be done and any pitfalls to avoid. He also worked within my budget guidelines, re-drawing plans a couple of times to accomodate me. During the fit out, Matt, George and Callum were incredibly puntual, any days they couldn't work due to the fantastic British weather, I'd get a phonecall or in person knock at the door to let me know. They took extra care making sure all their work was done to an incredibly high standard and I have no qualms this decking won't look as good in 10 years as it does today. Thank you Matt, George and Callum for a fantastic job, I honestly can't recommend you enough. Cheers!

Matt & George were great, boarded up our loft, and built in a lot more storage. From our original ideas, Matt gave great advice and we are extremely happy with... read more the end product. It is of very high quality and Matthew has done a very professional job. We highly recommend and will be booking in further work soon

Matthew (alongside George and Callum who were also brilliant) completely renovated our kitchen and was fantastic from start to finish. We were blown away by the level of detail he... read more went into and how quick the turn around was. Honestly couldn't recommend Smart & Simple Home Improvements more. Will definitely be using the team again next time we need work done!

I think it's important to write good honest reviews and I would just like to say from the moment Matthew arrived to quote us on works in our home (large... read more room split into 2, media in front room/3 additional storage units in our back room) he stood out. We had 6 other companies come round to quote us for the works and from the get go, the time, effort, presentation he showed was such a high standard. Both Matthew and his assistant George catered to our every need, nothing was ever an issue even though I gave wrong measurements, changed my mind several times and swapped ideas around, it was all dealt with in the most professional way. The works they have carried out in just under 2 weeks is magnificent. I have 2 young children and have been working from home and Matthew ensured there was as little disruption to our daily life as possible. The detail in which he and his team went to in all our works is outstanding. This includes his electrician, plasterer & painter, all of which are lovely guys and nothing we asked was too much hassle (he even got someone round to fix our byfold doors) I would absolutely recommend Matthew & his team to anyone who is looking to improve their home, they are trustworthy reliable, always on time and have completely exceeded our expectations. We are already looking to book him back in to work on our garden, don't hesitate or waste your time with anyone else, if you want a job well done, these are your guys!! Kirsty

Matthew and George. What an amazing team and just a lovely Couple of hardworking guys. Can’t fault them at all on any of their work, that is for building an... read more amazing summerhouse complete with Bar!! Will be used for many a time to come. Would definitely recommend x

We contacted Matthew when we wanted a panelled feature wall in our living room and from the initial contact, right through to the end of the project, Matthew was an... read more absolute joy to deal with. Not only does he have exceptionally high standards of workmanship, he is also friendly, knowledgeable and does exactly what he says he will. If he says he will phone you, he will phone you. If he says he is coming on a certain day at a certain time - yep, he'll be there, with a big smile on his face. He and George installed our wall panelling, which we love, and also filled in our obsolete warm air heating vents - and then Matthew coordinated the rest of the decorating using his vast array of contacts. So we had electrics, plastering and painting, all arranged by Matthew and all done to an extremely high standard. I just waited for Matthew to ring to tell me when they were coming and what they were doing - and it always happened. Such a joy! So thank you to George, Neil (electrics), Luke (plasterer) and David (painter) for all your hard work and attentionto detail. But the biggest thanks go to Matthew for caring about our home as if it were his own and for being a real gem. We were so pleased to find you and would highly recommend you to anyone.

New flat roof installed by this very professional team. Matthew and george provided an excellent service and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Great service. Very professional. updated our built in wardrobe doors which was a bit trickier than anticipated but managed exceptionally well. would recommend without a second thought. Thanks Matthew

We highly recommend Smart and Simple Home Improvements. We used this company for a renovation of our study and our utility rooms Matthew was very professional, kept us fully updated... read more from quote through to completion of our project. We had some unexpected issues during the work and Matthew was able to provide solutions to these, gave us the options of how to proceed and ensured that we were happy with the outcomes. Matthew was also happy for any changes we decided to make as the project progressed. Both he and George were polite, tidy, friendly and the quality of the work is excellent. We could tell they both take pride in their work and wanted to make sure we were happy with all aspects of their work. We will definitely recommend S&S to others, and will be getting them back to quote for some another project next year in the house.

Matthew created access stairs for my second story flat. I was very impressed with his customer service, communication skills, quality of work and professional service. I would highly recommend for... read more any carpentry needs.

It gives me great pleasure to leave this review. Matthew has been nothing less than BRILLIANT when it comes to the work he has done on our house, which... read more has been of the highest quality, no fuss, 100 % reliable and by the nicest guy you could wish to meet. He came highly recommended to us and after so many bad experiences over the years, we were over the moon to finally meet someone like Matthew. When he says he is going to do something, consider it done! He is reasonably priced, explains exactly what the options are, leaving you feeling like you are actually in control. Matthew actually has the perfect balance on so many things, like his communication! There were a few times where we didn't understand something and he patiently continued to explain in different ways until we got it. We appreciated this so much as we've had builders in the past that didn't fully explain all the options and then later we were left feeling unhappy with the final product or result, i.e. why didn't they tell us this before they did it..now its too late etc etc!!! You won't have to worry about this with Matthew. Nothing was too much trouble, no job too BIG or too small. We loved his work ethics too - very calm, friendly and good fun, but also just cracks on and gets the job done. Another thing - Matthew is a super nice guy. You just know that you could trust him 100% whether you were there or not. If you are looking for someone who is a great all rounder and you expect a great job done for a reasonable price, by someone reliable and trustworthy, then Matthew is your guy. We wouldn't use anyone else again and I would have no hesitation in recommending this gem of a guy. Thank you so much for all your help Matthew - You're a diamond. Rob 🙂

Smart & Simple Home Improvements (Matthew) built the pergola in the garden which allows me to do my training outdoors. His craftsmanship and skills are impeccable. I was impressed with... read more the accuracy and ingenuity he planned and built this from a concept I had in mind. He literally took the vision I had of what I wanted and built it exactly how I imagined it to be. I can't thank Matthew enough for all his hard work and I would highly recommend him for any work to be carried out. I look forward to having Matthew over for phase two of this garden project.

Matthew has transformed my front room from a square, plain room, without character into a beautiful space. He took the time to make sure he understood what I wanted... read more and, as I’m not very good at interior design, helped me to choose things that would work well together. After all of the discussions I felt comfortable enough to let them get on with the work and waited until everything was complete before seeing it and I wasn’t disappointed, I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

I recently contacted Matthew from Smart & Simple Home Improvements for ideas for some decking. He was extremely helpful and I was very pleased with the ideas he suggested. I... read more am extremely happy with the decking. It is of very high quality and Matthew has done a very professional job. It has given my garden a lovely outside space that is great for both relaxing and entertaining. Matthew is very reliable, hardworking and trustworthy and I have no hesitation in recommending both him and his company.

We recently had some bespoke decking installed by Matthew from Smart & Simple Home Improvements and were VERY happy with the service provided. He helped by suggesting some design ideas... read more and options to maximise the space we had available. The end product we received was very professionally finished and the construction was incredibly strong and sturdy. Matthew is an honest and trustworthy individual who always turns up as promised and if he says he will call at a certain time, this was always fulfilled. I just love having breakfast in the sun on our new deck 😊. Would highly recommend this service - this is how trades people should all operate...!
