Have you ever bought a house that you loved, only to find that it’s a money pit? Maybe you have started a project and then found out that it will cost double the amount that you budgeted to finish it? Perhaps you have commissioned a builder to do a job only for him to disappear part way through the job? Is it a situation that you started a DIY task and then discovered that it’s beyond you? Is it possible that you have ever wondered which eco product to fit? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then it’s time to talk to me!
My name is Gareth Berry and I live in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, very close to junction 22 of the M5, so travelling around the area is not a problem. Although most of my work has been in the South West, I have worked extensively all over the British Isles, so my knowledge of the geography of the country is good.
People who live in houses or flats inevitably find the need to maintain, renovate or extend. Knowing that you need to do something is only the start. What are the regulations, what is the scope? Without the right skill base this can lead to rapid disaster and can cost you dearly.
Find out moreI offer a range of services, from simple telephone consultations to site visits and written reports, which can lead to other areas; e.g. planning or project management. Me listening to you is vital, from hereon in it’s up to you. Any house is likely to be the most expensive thing that you will ever buy. So it stands to reason that good advice about it will stand you in good stead.
As your house should fill you with joy not horror, it is very important that you aim for the joy and, therefore, aim for satisfaction. My aim is to make this as trouble free as possible.
My work includes small developments ranging from conservatories and garages to extensions and loft conversions.
Today, more than ever, the issue of the environment is at the forefront of many people’s minds.
I charge £53 per hour as a starting rate. Ideally this will be via a home visit, but can be through other methods. Any other service; planning, project management or a full building service is by negotiation, as all jobs vary in scope and complexity. If any of these services are required I will give a binding quotation, so that you know exactly where you stand.
I have tried to offer as wide a range of services as possible to cover any eventuality, please remember that your requirements are unique to you and, therefore, I must tailor each job to suit you. Please be aware that many situations can be resolved quickly – typically in less than 4 hours.
