"..we first used Michael Gray (Mick) back in 1996, for some plastering work. Since then he has undertaken dozens of jobs for us, ranging from a small cupboard to the complete refurbishment of our most recent home. The standard of his work is excellent and he is clean, tidy and reliable. Over the years we have come to know Mick very well and trust his judgement and opinion. We have no worries about leaving him to work in the house whilst we are away and we no longer see him as just a workman but as a trusted friend who helps us with our house projects. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone.." - Phil Thompson, Chelmsford

".. Michael was employed by us for his plastering, carpentry and decorating services. He has completed a loft conversion and also finished several other jobs that were left by a previous so-called 'builder'. He was always punctual and his attention to detail and communication with us was good at all times - we would have no hesitation in recommending him".. - Kind Regards Trish & Mark, Witham

"..Following the complete bathroom upgrade you did for us a couple of years ago, having you back to refurbish the kitchen was a 'no-brainer'. We are very (very) pleased with the final result and would like to thank you for the transformation. The team were great - Kev 'the sparks', Matt 'the tiler', Gregg 'the plumber/ fitter' and finally your good self for the plastering and overall project management.." - Barry & Dawn Saltmarsh

"..This is to certify that I have used the services of Michael Gray, the builder, on five occasions in the past year.

"I heard of Michael from the B & Q organisation, who recommended him very highly. I have used Michael`s skills for the following projects:- Installing a loft ladder, Moving a load bearing wall and installing a steel beam, plastering, decorating, installing a full kitchen, installing a staircase, cupboard construction, using timber.

"On all these occasions, Michael has been punctual, and very well mannered. Although never the cheapest option, Michael is also not the most expensive, and all his work has been of an outstanding quality.

"He has a tried and tested system with everything he does, and a meticulous attitude towards keeping the job contained to one particular area, and he always cleans up well, on a daily basis.

"The tradesmen who Michael uses ( Electrician, Plumber etc ) are as honest and industrious as Michael himself, and I would have no hesitation in recommending his services, no matter how large or how small the job.." - Tim Jones, Great Baddow

"I first used Michael Gray last year after being recommended by my plumber. Mick converted two bedrooms into one, for the shell of a new large bathroom we were creating.

"Where some people may have tried to fill in holes in the walls and smooth over, Mick re-boarded the walls/ceiling and then plastered. This gave a superb finish comparable to a new build. He also fitted new doors to all our upstairs rooms. Since then Mick has been back and has just finished work on a new hall, stairs & landing project. This involved plastering the ceilings to cover up the old Artex, fitting coving, moving a door frame and then fitting new oak doors to the rooms downstairs.

"Not only did Mick do the work to a very high standard but also gave very good recommendations as to where best to buy doors and door furniture etc. I have to say, having Mick in the house is a pleasure, totally dependable and trustworthy, something I value in people. Thanks Mick and here’s to the next project!" Adrian Hampel, Gt. Baddow

Having been recommended to me by my father (who was in the building trade himself and so has a lot of knowledge and very high standards) Mike has done a lot of work on my house over the last six years or so. The jobs have included hanging new internal doors, fitting skirting boards and architrave plastering walls and ceilings, and fitting coving.

Not only has the work been completed to an impeccable standard, but Mike has been a real pleasure to deal with. He has always been reliable, punctual, hard working and trustworthy. I have also been very grateful for Mike's opinions and advice on my home improvement projects and it has always been clear that customer satisfaction is his absolute priority. - Steve Burgess, Chelmer Village

Michael Gray has undertaken an extensive refurbishment of our detached property, involving removal of partition walls, replacement ceilings and coving throughout, extensive plastering, staircase renovation, formation of a new en-suite and many other improvements. During this time he has proved to be an outstanding tradesman, being competent not only in building fundamentals, but also, very importantly for us, providing a consistently high level of finish to his work - a rarity nowadays.

He is always punctual, reliable, honest and cheerful. A pleasure to have around, especially as he leaves the house clean and tidy at the end of each and every day. - John and Helen Spelman, Chelmer Village
