Cooke and Charman, turned my 1868 Old Run down cottage in Arundel, into a surreal environment. The end result really is mind blowing, not to mention the value increase of the property.

The end result is absolutely perfect and gives my gym the luxury look and feel that i have been trying to achieve for ages. The smoothie bar is already proving a massive hit with the members and looks like something from a show home- so impressed!

Ashley and his team completed various jobs at my house: installed the electrics for my hot tub, installed my outdoor lighting, and replaced all the electrics in my garage with new electrics. They are so tidy and everything is done perfectly. Amazing company to deal with.
