He organised the other tradesmen so they all worked really well together. His quality of work, timekeeping, attention to detail, determination to give me the kitchen I wanted together with his irrepressible sense of humour made this three week project a far more pleasurable experience than I was anticipating. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alan.”

“Alan Palmer has worked for me previously, mainly decorating but also some carpentry work. He spent a lot of time advising as to the best supplier to go to and did a lot of running around on my behalf to ensure I got exactly what I wanted from the kitchen. We encountered a number of problems, not of Alan's making, I would add, but as I was available most of the time, we were able to resolve them. We agreed a day rate for the work and I actually increased this to allow for his earlier involvement. I would highly recommend Alan as it is a joy to work with him.”

Alan organised the work schedule very efficiently, so that plumbers, electricians and plasterers carried out their tasks with no time delays. Any difficulties which occurred with walls being out of true, pipe work needing adjustment etc, were handled smoothly. The whole operation was completed within the time we were quoted, which for a builder must be a first!”

The decking in our garden now looks amazing!”

“A very professional job. Alan was able to overcome numerous snags with no extra charge which were not obvious before at the time of the quotation.”

“Very pleased with the quality of work done.”
“Alan is more like a friend now rather than a contractor. We had problems with the supply of wallpaper but this was not Alan's fault and he came back to complete the work very quickly once the problem had been resolved with the supplier. I have already asked him to see me at Easter 2014 to discuss a new kitchen for later in the year.”
“Really pleased with the completed paint work. The lounge has been totally refreshed. Love it.”
“Alan came in to finish off the carpentry and painting of an extension that had been built several years ago, where we had run out of steam to finish it ourselves. He did an excellent job of preparing, tidying and finishing what was essentially a 'rescue' job, applying all his experience and knowledge to make the best of some tricky bits of carpentry and filling, some left by previous tradesmen and some by ourselves. Good job, on time and on budget!”
“Alan has done other work for me, including tiling my kitchen, putting up a shower attachment, as well as decorating the exteriors of my, and my Mother's houses. He also did my living room and kitchen, and will be doing some more soon. He is always cheerful and reliable , and very punctual. He works very hard, makes good suggestions, and does a very good job. He always works in a clean and tidy way too, it was a pleasure to see him again.”

Did quote for another job but when we went to measure again he pointed something out which we both hadn't spotted and thanks to his honesty we didn't go ahead with it which was good for me but cost him. Very grateful to him for that. Would definitely recommend C and A Interiors.”
“Alan fitted a new kitchen for us in July 2012 - after a number of quotes from different companies. Alan not only came in with a very competitive quote, but also was the most flexible, polite and enthusiastic. Some of the kitchen units were quite fiddly to install, and we also had other tradespeople in at the same time, so it was not the easiest job to complete. Alan spent the time to overcome these difficulties to ensure a high quality finish. We would not hesitate to recommend Alan for kitchen fitting and would certainly use again for any other carpentry.”

“Alan worked very well and it turned out to be a rather challenging job as the room hadn't been a kitchen before. He had a lot to work around as my measurements were wrong in places, but he managed it and kept his sense of humour!”
“Excellent Job and would use this company in the future. Nice chap too.”
“Alan was efficient, tidy and timely. He provided work of a very good standard, on time and on budget. We will certainly be using him again.”
“Alan transformed my out-of-date long narrow kitchen into a modern kitchen/utility room. This also included the knocking out of a wall and building a wall between the kitchen and utility. All was completed to a very high standard and without fuss. Nothing was too much trouble and although the job threw up many challenges Alan found a way around the difficulties and made it work such that I now have the kitchen and utility that I want. The job took longer because of this but at no extra cost from the original price. I have to say that I love the look of my new kitchen and utility room but best of all both rooms are now so workable and its a pleasure to use them. I would wholeheartedly recommend Alan and will be calling on him again myself to come and fit some news doors soon.”

I would recommend Mr Palmer wholeheartedly and without hesitation.”

He has worked well with other trades people, and is due back in 2010 for more work. Thoroughly recommended and the 10s are well deserved. ”
“Alan and his father arrived on time, as planned, and set about the work with a minimum of fuss. The job was more tricky than might have been anticipated because the new door (purchased separately by myself and therefore not Alan's responsibility) was slightly bowed, and the fitting of the locks required meticulous adjustments. Alan wanted to achieve the best solution possible, and took time to deliver a good result.”
“It is great and I am enjoying having so much more space to put things.”
“Alan came on the days and time that he said he would. Alan was very tidy and left the bathroom/bedroom in a very tidy state at the end of each day. Alan completed the job, exact to the quote and time, to a very professional standard. I would not hesitate to recommend Alan.”
