My name is Colin Baxter and I have been self employed for 15 years now.
I have always been one for building things and love to create from wood in my spare time (if I can get some).
I learnt most of my skills from rejuvenating rental properties and so have learnt a little bit of all the trades.
Tenants can leave a house in a variety of states, from spotless to still looking like someone is living in there!
Sometimes a good clean can make a great difference to a room, a coat of paint and you're done. Then you get the ones where the children have been swinging on the doors and cupboards, bathrooms never scrubbed and leaking shower doors never reported.
I had previously spent 5 years working for a roofing company chasing leaks in roofs and repairing wind damage.
Pointing and re-bedding ridges, doing strip and recovers, pointing chimneys, renewing leadwork in both flashings and valleys.
We cleared and fixed leaking guttering or replaced broken ones.
Rendered and repaired rendering on walls.
Installed Velux roof windows.
I now concentrate on repairs and modifications to existing roofs.
I enjoy decorating and joinery and have learnt the skills for simple creations. From fitted wardrobes to kitchens.
I believe in having a look at what you would like done and will say if it is something that is above my level of competence. I can also give you an assessment of the work required.
