We cannot recommend Dan and his team highly enough. From start to finish, the quality of their workmanship has been exceptional, and they have completely transformed our home. They have fitted two beautiful bathrooms, built bespoke fireside bookcases, installed new kitchen appliances, fitted solid wood worktops, carried out plastering and electrical work, and sanded and sealed the original floorboards in our upstairs bathroom. Every job has been completed to an incredibly high standard with real attention to detail. Dan and his team are reliable, hardworking, friendly and respectful, and they always left the house clean and tidy at the end of each day. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they were always happy to offer advice and practical solutions to help us achieve the look we wanted. What really stands out is the pride they take in their work. They treat your home as if it were their own, and the quality of the finish speaks for itself. We have received so many compliments on the work they’ve done, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for skilled, trustworthy craftsmen. Thank you, Dan and the team, for all your hard work. We are absolutely delighted with the results and wouldn’t use anyone else for future projects.
I ordered a new Wren kitchen and, although Wren suggested their own fitter for the installation, he turned out to be a disappointment. I then contacted DC Home Improvements and I don’t regret that decision at all. These guys are excellent. Dan, Dave and the rest of the team are really friendly, yet at the same time very professional and highly skilled at what they do. My kitchen looks perfect now and I am absolutely delighted with it. No job was too big for the team; they delivered everything I asked for. I would strongly recommend DC Home Improvements to anyone needing a new kitchen fitted. You will not be disappointed!
Prompt reply to request re kitchen renovation. Work completed quickly and professionally with full explanation given to work thay was needed to complete. Thankyou Dan. Would highly recommend. Karen R
DC Home Improvements helped us modify our kitchen to accommodate a dishwasher by removing an existing cupboard and installing all the plumbing required. Dan provided a home kitchen planning visit in which we talked through what we wanted and discussed how it could be achieved. He was honest about what was most cost effective and together we planned a solution. One the day of the works they worked efficiently and professionally being extremely polite and answering the random questions we had. They cleaned up after themselves and didn't leave until we were happy with everything. Very happy!
Dan Cerdan (DC home improvements) You can’t leave genuine feedback on your own company! Now where do I start. I got Dan from DC in to fit a new kitchen, sort the hallway out and fit a new bathroom. All was going smoothly until he started to cut corners and not cutting the cuboards neatly with straight lines. It looks like it’s been cut with a chainsaw and not a circular saw or jigsaw. I asked for oak doors and frames and you supplied me with pine door frames with oak doors. Which Dan did say he was going to sort out. Dan said he couldn’t change the door frames over until September sometime as he was occupied with other jobs. If DC had stayed and did a full day rather than his half days he would have been able to squeeze in time to change the door frames no problem at all. After all it was a mistake his end. Dan from DC priced up the job for Oak frames and doors but maybe he forgot or was trying to pull a fast one on me, I’m not sure. Dan was extremely lazy that he didn’t want to route out my worktops to fit leds under them, he just wanted to stick them on which they would catch on the cuboard doors. After telling him they will be routed under the worktops he eventually did this but in the process damaged the large side cuboard and also the piece of wood that separates the oven from the cuboard on the right. The backboard was supposed to go up to the extractor fan, but he couldn’t be bothered to cut the backboard to fit between the two top cuboards, so instead he cut the two cuboard side panels and slid the backboard up behind it. I told him I was not happy with this and after a short discussion he replaced the two damaged pieces. Dan also moaned at the boiler guy we used as he did not route the power cable for the boiler in the wall, the reason for this is that Dan kept giving the boiler guy extra work to do which I was paying him for. So yeh the boiler guy that I got in forgot as he was too busy doing DC work! Yesterday afternoon Dan from DC was saying he would be back Thursday to start the bathroom which was great, however he had already removed the oak doors from my property (which I hadn’t paid for yet as I was waiting for him to change the door frames to oak to complete that job before paying) We spoke about some jobs in the hallway to chase out a couple of copper pipes which he agreed to do and remove a door frame. He finished what he could do in the kitchen so he was waiting around for his money so I paid him for the kitchen work (without checking the quality of everything) which was a mistake. After he had his money he was off within seconds. The following morning he sent me a text saying he thinks it’s better that I get someone else in to fit my bathroom and to do my hallway. (No explanation what so ever) and that he had left the money for my tiles back in the house and the key had been posted through the door. So my overall feedback is not great and I’m very disappointed in the quality of work. If I wanted a cowboy I would have found someone a lot cheaper. I would steer clear of this company as Dan couldn’t even talk to my face about why he didn’t want to continue the agreed jobs. Update: if anyone would like the conversation history between myself and DC home improvements they are welcome to contact me. I requested oak doors and frames. You hounded me for the 5 grand before giving me a chance to fully inspect the work. And at face value looked ok. But after checking it all over without you over my shoulder I would have found the issues. The photos speak for themselves with the poor quality of work carried out, even if some of the work isn’t visible. Surely you would take full pride in all of your work. Clearly this wasn’t the case. After speaking to my family member who you had done work for, after fully inspecting the work over a few days issues were found there such as poor tiling and water leakages through the shower base. Warning to all potential customers, do not hand over any money and tell them to leave so you have time to fully inspect all work carried out.
We hired DC Home Improvements to do a renovation of a newly purchased house for us. It was quite a big job due to the poor condition of the property prior to purchase. The bathroom, WC and kitchen all needed complete refurbishment and there was some decorating to do as well. In just over a month they have really turned the situation around. The house has gone from uninhabitable to a state where my mother can move in. Everything has been done just as promised. The bathroom, WC and kitchen are fully ready and the kitchen, especially, looks very nice now. They also installed new laminate flooring in the sitting room. The speed of the work has been really helpful for meeting our deadline for my mum to move in and when we asked for additional work to be done, this was always accommodated without any issues. Dan and his team have made it possible for us to achieve our goals with this property and it was all done in a polite and helpful manner. Furthermore, I saw quotes that were twice as expensive as what Dan quoted, so it was also good value. I would definitely recommend this company and I would engage their services again in future.
Dan and his team made an excellent job. They worked really hard to make sure it was completed before Christmas. Nothing was too much for him even when I changed my mine on a few things. Love our new Wet room, would highly recommend.
Dan did a full kitchen renovation for us and the finished result is fabulous. He was friendly, knowledgeable and in regular communication letting us know what was happening and when. Dave and Joe were friendly, helpful and the whole team including plasterers and electricians did a great job, taking pride in their work and cleaning up at the end of the day. They even did a few extra things that we asked for once the job had started in our downstairs toilet with no worries. We would have no hesitation about using Dan again or recommending him to anyone else.
Daniel and his team turned up as agreed and got to work with no fuss. Did the installation excellently and with no mess or drama. Responds promptly to calls and texts - good customer liaison - quite refreshing actually. Totally recommend.
Dan was very professional and personable. Him and his team did an excellent kitchen installation along with retaining some of the original character as requested.
Really helpful, work was great and a high standard - would definitely recommend.
The job was to install a utility room with mid-range units, and hang 4 oak doors. The job was completed on time and on budget. They kept the workplace clean and tidy, and were very helpful offering advice on improvements to the design. The quality of the work was very good, especially with the oak doors, a very professional finish. Overall, we were very happy and we would definitely recommend DC
Special thanks to Daniel and all his team of experienced colleagues who did an excellent renovation of our kitchen fit. The whole team of Plasterers, Electricians, Plumbers, Floor laying, Carpenter/Fitter who were all friendly, polite and more than willing to go the extra mile to give a professional finish in their respective areas of expertise. The quality of the work was brilliant at a reasonable price. I would wholeheartedly recommend Daniel and his team to anyone and would certainly use him in the future. NB. To Dave (Caprenter/Fitter) who went over and above, thank you
Large downstairs refurbishment. Dan and Dave were a pleasure to work with, nothing too much trouble, even when plans needed amending. When snags occurred they were resolved quickly and effectively. At the end of the project we were delighted with the outcome. Highly recommend Dan his company.
Nothing but praise, Dan couldn’t have been more helpful throughout the project, a kitchen replacement is a stressful time but Dan (and Dave) were there to answer all questions and resolve any issues that cropped up. Couldn’t be more pleased and would recommend to all.
Kitchen renovation. I was very impressed with Dan when he arrived to assess and quote for the job. He was pleasant, helpful, professional and knowledgeable. This was confirmed in the work carried out, which was done to a uniform high standard. Any query was immediately responded to and every effort was made to minimise inconvenience to others by the work being carried out. I highly recommend D C Home Improvements and Renovations.
We needed Dan's help in putting right our previous builder's mistakes in fitting our new kitchen. Fortunately Dan scheduled us in quickly and he and David completed the works efficiently and to our satisfaction.
Very pleased with External repairs and painting. Great attention to detail, No mess. Good communications. Workman very polite. Would recommend. Can't fault them.
I received several quotes for our kitchen refurbishment and although not the cheapest Dan certainly seemed the most knowledgeable, honest and with a real interest in actually doing the job. Although not the cheapest Dan was very competitive with the quote and some were way higher. The job was completed in a timely manner with no fuss. I was expecting the whole project to be stressful but it wasn’t at all. I was able to sit back and let the team get on with it. The quality of the workmanship is second to none with only a couple of snagging points at the end which were completed straight away with no hesitation. The oak worktop(supplied by me) had some minor damage which Dan spent time on to correct to a very high standard. Of course there were other issues that cropped up beyond anyone’s control however, these issues were dealt with without problems and Dan absorbed this in to the cost. There was no trying to add extra fees to the quote which I have seen many times from other trades. During the refit I had an issue with the gutter on the house and Dan even fixed that without charge. Before this job I had not employed Dan however, now I would highly recommend Dan, Darren and ging to anyone considering home improvements and he has every trade covered. Before deciding who will do your job I would honestly say, get a quote from Dan as well. A old school honest company. At the end of the day you get what you pay for and somethings are worth paying that little extra for!
Always polite and friendly and good standard of work
Well what can I say apart from I am delighted with my new kitchen. I contacted Dan after finding him on Check a Trade as I needed my kitchen fitted in very short notice despite him being extremely busy. Within a week of calling, one of Dan's top men arrived and has made an amazing job of our new kitchen. Dan gave me a very reasonable quote and I would recommend him, his company and his team to anyone. Top job! ☺
Required a dishwasher to be installed where there was none previously. This involved needed the kitchen units altered, a fused-socket installed and some additional plumbing under the sink. Everything was done quickly and to a great standard, including a certificate for the electrical works. You don’t always get these, so it was further confirmation of excellent tradesmen. Very tidy throughout the job and left everything perfect at the end of the job. We have other work required in the house and will bae asking Dan and them team to do it!! Thank you!!
I came across Dan and his team on Facebook by accident. So pleased I did! They have done an amazing job of refitting our kitchen, taking down our chimney breast, fitting new doors, radiators and flooring. They were a pleasure to have in our home. So respectful of us and our home. Nothing was too much trouble. So skilled in all areas I can’t recommend them highly enough. BRILLIANT 🤩
Excellent work, with great attention to detail. Really friendly guys and really helpful. I highly recommend. Thanks guys
Removal of fireplace. Excellent communication, work completed quickly and to a high standard and all left tidy
Replaced old staircase for new one. Excellent work, very friendly and helpful. Would happily recommend him and use again.
I have used Dan and his team twice before and he didn’t disappoint this time. Fantastic work. What I like about Dan is that he is easily approachable. So any concerns or bits I want to point out are dealt with easily, with no issue at all. Also, Dan's costs are very reasonable and I have no concerns about being overcharged. Dan even went as far as fitting curtains and bathroom cabinets for us while he was there free of charge. I am very happy with the work he does and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his work. Thanks Dan, Another Very Happy Customer!
DC Ltd has installed our kitchen, the process from picking and fitting was so smooth. Everyone on the team was super helpful and our kitchen looks amazing. Thank you for all the hard work We will always use this company Next adventure will be our bathroom!
I cannot recommend Dan and and his Company enough. The level of care and professionalism they put into work is quite extraordinary. They are not afraid to take on difficult tasks, work with nonstandard/foreign units, resolve issues, propose creative ways forward on a sticky wicket--you can put your trust in them like with a good dentist and be assured the work will be done, including all necessary details of which I wasn't even aware of and, obviously, did not ask about in the first place. Big thanks for all your hard work and care!
Dan and the team created a new, fully open plan kitchen for us. They took out supporting internal walls from our 100 year old house and fitted hefty steel work, which was complex but completed without any issues. They fitted a new kitchen, new crittall style doors, new radiators, all new electrical work and laid engineered wood flooring. Dan and the team were professional, tidy, friendly and completed the project on time even with some additions. Nothing was ever a problem for them, and they worked with us to ensure that everything was to our liking. We also shopped around for a few different quotes, and Dan was very competitively priced. The room was finished to such a high standard - we couldn't be happier. Highly recommended! We'd definitely use Dan and the team again for any future work.
Fantastic team Over the years, we have had several works done in our home by all sorts of contractors. I must say that Dan is Head and Shoulders above them all. He was very approachable and helpful in making sure we were happy with every little bit of our new kitchen. His team were polite and very respectful in our home. The polite and respectful attitude of the team made a great impression on me and my family and made US comfortable with them in our home. Sometimes a little thing like a small scratch on an appliance, or a tiny nick in the lino made me think I was being a little petty; but no. Dan saw to it all in a friendly fast and efficient way. No-fuss at all. I feel totally at ease in calling Dan about any issues we have. They ticked all the boxes • Cost-effective • Polite & Respectful • Fast and thorough • Great Workmanship DC Home improvements are now my only go-to people for any work, big or small, in our home. Already thinking of another job.. Anyone who uses this firm will be in good hands. (We got on so well I am sorry to see them go) Big thanks to Dan, Young Dan, Dave, and Andy
Dan and his team are all professional, knowledgeable and well mannered, with can-do attitude. They have renovated our entire house, including electrics and plumbing; fitted a new boiler, bathrooms and kitchen; decorated; designed and built bookcases; and dealt with all the minor issues that popped up during the renovation. Dan has always responded quickly and been at the other end of the line to answer any questions we have ever had. He guided us in the choice of materials and managed the suppliers and the deliveries. Dan and his team are punctual and tidy. They really care about the works they are doing and carry them out with care, quickly and tidily. I would highly recommend DC Home Improvements.
Dan and his team completed an entire bathroom refit including clearing out the old suite, retiling and fitting. The team worked tirelessly to ensure the task was completed on time and to an extremely high level. Special mention to Jorge and Ryan who were very professional throughout this project. Would highly recommend this company for future projects. Thank you!
I have just had a kitchen refit which was knocked through to the dining room for open plan living. Dan has a truly great team working with him, very courteous, tidy and professional. I was kept informed of all progress and what would be done next. Communication was excellent. The end result is such a transformation. I would highly recommend Dan and his team to anyone. Can't wait for the next project!
What an unprofessional company. Arranged to come and quote a big job on 2 separate occasions (because Dan forgot the first one) then decided not to even turn up to the second either. What a joker. That's 10k in somebody else's pocket. Do Not use. I couldn't reply to your remark. So I thought I'd add it here. Same name and number as the person I arranged 2 appointments with. Friday at 9am and then Monday at noon. No show.
This was a most pleasurable project with a complete remodel of our kitchen. Totally professional in work and manner Dan and his team were a pleasure to have in our home. Work was on time, clean and tidy keeping us fully informed throughout. Could not be happier with the finished project.
Used Dan and his team for the 1st time best building experience I have had Took away all the stress of the job and did the job above and beyond what I expected Dan was experienced and re assuring friendly and helped me all the way through his Fitter George was very helpful and put in extra time to make sure that the finish was to a high standard His tiler Pete was very precise and gave my bathroom a 10 out of 10 finish making it a beautiful bathroom
Excellent work from Dan and would recommend him to family and friends. While replacing our bathroom Dan and his team were friendly, considerate and efficient. Very supportive whilst we were picking our bathroom and kept us updated throughout the process. We will be using Dan for further work around our home.
I had Dan and his team to fit me a new bathroom and kitchen. They were on time professional and always turned up with a smile. They worked hard and were immaculately clean. Kept me informed throughout the entire project can't recommend them enough.
This is the first time I used DC Home Improvements, Dan and his team repaired our uneven and loose hallway floorboards, fixed the creaky stairs and landing then went on to build 3 cupboards under the stairs using some previously unused space for storage, also replaced a joist and did extra plaster work all within the budget, all work was done to an excellent quality with good communication throughout, everywhere was left clean and tidy each night, I would recommend DC Home Improvements and I will be calling them again.
Very professional building company would definitely use again and recommend to people. The quote was accurate and the work performed was of a very high standard.
Dan and his guys are the BEST. We just completed a major kitchen rebuild, which involved knocking down a supporting wall, installing a new RSJ & supports, putting up a new stud wall, replacing a floor and finally installing a Wren kitchen to our design. Every step of the way, the guys were helpful, flexible, proactive, accommodating and cheerful too. Nothing was too much trouble, and the attention to detail and quality of finish was second to none. You can really tell that the guys take a genuine pride in what they do. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend DC for any home improvement project.
