"L Steyn Carpentry Ltd built an extension onto our 15 th century thatched cottage in 2006. He worked closely with us from the design stage right through to the inevitable teething problems right at the end. Since then, we have not hesitated to recommend his services to friends seeking a reliable, imaginative building firm.

Lyle has an excellent eye for detail and showed real sympathy for the nature of the job, matching the charm of the original cottage with something modem and yet full of character. He has a real understanding of old properties and their quirks and was full of suggestions whilst also happy to listen to our changes of mind as the building work evolved. Lyle also showed an impressive attention to detail and took great pains to source appropriate items.

His men arrived promptly by 8am every morning and always stayed with us for the full day - unlike any other building company we had previously experienced. They were unfailingly friendly and helpful, accommodating any domestic requirements of the family as they occurred. They were aware of and always worked hard to meet Lyle's high standards.

We can thoroughly recommend Lyle Steyn's company to potential clients" The Culleys, East Meon, Hampshire

"I have known Lyle for over 2 years. He has undertaken work for me at both my house and business. I have always been satisfied with the results. He is reliable and dependable. He is honest and his advice is experience based.

He is a good communicator and does not set unrealistic commitments. He always keeps the client up to date on progress."

"I am delighted with the transformation of my two bath/shower rooms. The way in which they have been sympathetically restored within my barn conversion is especially pleasing. The finished work is of a high standard and was completed within the given time, with the least amount of upheaval."
