"Will sourced all the parts to rebuild our MF engine to an exceptionally high standard. Nothing is ever too much trouble—he’s knowledgeable, helpful, and consistently tidy in his work. We rely on him for repairs and maintenance across all our plant equipment, tractors, and road vehicles."
"Will has been instrumental in managing the groundworks for our large house extension, offering expert support with drainage, access, and more. He also helps with ongoing projects across our smallholding. Currently, he’s building a riding arena for our daughter and her pony, but he’s previously supported us with fencing for our goats, setting up a track system for our horses, and countless other jobs. Will really knows his stuff—he’s always helpful, solution-focused, and a pleasure to work with."
