What We Do...
We moved to York last year, our house required extensive renovation and modernisation. Being new to the area we didn’t know anyone who could recommend a reputable builder. So we used the Federation of Master Builders website and contacted Charleswood Property Developments. We spent quite some time with Mark discussing and planning the work, which was eventually carried out in two main phases to our complete satisfaction. We have also used him more recently for other, relatively minor issues. We would not hesitate to use him again, or to recommend him to others. The reasons for this are as follows: He only uses trusted, quality tradesmen, produces a plan of action from the outset, explains everything clearly, keeps in regular contact, and produces an itemised invoice on completion. Above all, knowing Mark is contactable and responsive after completion gives peace of mind
