A nice bread and butter one that’s now off our books thanks to Kelly and Steve. From old tired magnolia with faded gloss and worn carpets, to a fresh white, with Johnstone's Trade Paints providing a great long term finish. Hardwearing carpets and good quality vinyl from our partners and turned around in a couple of weeks for a local estate agent.

Thanks to all the team on this one :)

Needs a quick clean then ready for a new couple to move in!

Some great plastering by Lenny and Nathanael (fresh off our Building Heroes course) in this Haig Housing Trust property in Cardiff.

Great to the see the works coming together with our team working on this over the coming weeks!

Next up some lovely decoration from Dean and Kelly, finishing off the electrics from Damion and the a new kitchen from Ollie and team.

This is now the 4th large one we’ve done this year around our regular works and loving now we’re at the plaster stage and I can finally see it coming together!

So on this job alone we’ll have had veterans from all three services all running their own successful businesses and working alongside us to bring these together for our charity partners - nice to do meaningful works :)

Throwback to a fencing job we did that was (at the time) the largest we did last year. Cheltenham location but dragging my Cardiff team over for this - ground was in awful condition and a huge amount of vegetation cleared before a nice clean featheredge fence installed by Phil and his team to secure the boundary of this property and the adjoining flats.

The reality of some of the non sexy work we do prepping for a new bathroom install - full gut out, replaster, electrics, tiling, bath, vanity unit and decoration with commercial grade flooring to go in over the next few weeks alongside the other works in the flat. No 5 of 5 we’ve done for the same client over the last few months!

When other companies say they can do it cheaper.... the things we find... this is in a revamp we're doing in Cardiff and was fitted by a well known cardiff based contractor a few years ago.

Bafoons and thank you for keeping my company relevant :)

Nice new towel rad installed in Cardiff by Nic for a bathroom we've just finished off!

Horrible bent and worn pipework, so removed and replaced - everything fully new and pumping out a great amount of heat for winter!

Works in progress in Cardiff. Love using these tile clips and wedges from @multichoicetilesandbathrooms that will make these very cost effective tiles look super premium!

Some new fencing being installed prior to winter in Swansea for our @buildingheroes partners. Very much a work on progress but great work shown by my team in awful weather today - well done James!

Go away rain!

Trying to get a small brickwork job closed out -

rebuilding this drain access cover done before the bad weather fully closes in!

Some quality time training with our new @djiglobal

Some quality time training with our new @djiglobal drone. Bought primarily for high level surveys and to support the fact I hate working off ladders and am rather clumsy as my team know....

Some great footage of a local quarry and our house, spotting 3 broken tiles and some gutters in need of clearing!

HD camera and a fully recorded video able to be sent straight away to the clients.

We love a toy, but primarily this is to provide a faster and cheaper survey of your roof and a new service to complement my roofing teams.

Great to receive funding from the armed forces covenenant allowing us to buy 5 kits of @metabo_uk power tools to kit out new joiners to my team working for and trained by @buildingheroes. Thanks especially to @armedforcescovfundtrust , @toolshopdirect , @metabo_uk for providing these tools and supporting our teams as we grow across South Wales and the UK next year!

These tools will remove the start up costs for self employment, with high quality tools to complement the training and support we already offer to those in our team. With a growing list of clients we are keen to expand our training and recruitment, so get in touch!

A small repair we were able to do recently. Tap with a value of £300 in a high end kitchen was leaking 6 months after install and getting worse.

Customer has used us for other jobs since we formed, and called us for our opinion on this, expecting to have to buy a new one.

Ceramic valves for these aren't common - but can be sourced so long as you know the model - after digging around for the original invoice we ordered replacement valves and a week later all fixed!

Material cost for the valves was only £30, as opposed to £300 for a new tap. :)

One happy customer and a tiny bit to help reduce the waste in our industry!

Finances are tough at the moment for everyone, but

Finances are tough at the moment for everyone, but the climate emergency and the need to transition from fossil fuels hasn't gone away.

As a professional, Veteran owned business we are actively trying to reduce our waste and carbon emissions wherever possible. We have a new diesel van, which though efficient is still not suitable for the future.

Whilst we wait for our hydrogen van from Riversimple or electric if range anxiety eases, we actively support the work of Rewards.Earth- a fellow Veteran owned company and a great way to offset your emissions whilst helping veterans into work.

As the green economy version of ourselves they are actively training and using veterans across the UK. So if you are a business or just a carbon emission conscious individual then check them out here -

Unexpected plasterwork needed but no way we were painting over someone's previous bodge! Taken back to base and fixed correctly.

We don't sign off bad jobs

If you care about doing a great job and working alongside other veterans across Wales then we are actively recruiting for our growing community with @buildingheroes and our own domestic jobs across the area :)
