We first hear of Sam from a friend who was really pleased with his work. We had him put in a new door (replacing flat plain door to the kitchen with a paneled & painted door (and put the hinges on the other side)). That went very well we were very pleased with the result. A little while later we decided it was about time we had a second loo (growing family: grandchildren!). Naturally we thought of Sam & Co so they came round to look at the site. The choice was between inside the garage or, at the other extreme, behind the extension-block. After some walking round and chatting Sam went away to work on it. In a short time he came back with ideas and a list of pros-and-cons. We chewed them over and decided on the inside the garage option. It was soon started and before long we had our room within a room. Sam arranged for all the other disciplines people to make their contributions at the appropriate times (plumber and drainage before electrician,e.g.). The finishing touches, like the tiling surround of the sink, the heated towel rail, the ceiling-mounted fan heater, were all attended to with due discussion and execution (some last-minute adjustments going very smoothly). We had arranged that we would finish off by doing the painting ourselves, so the fact that the copper pipes are still bare has nothing to do with Team Calico. The final sign-off was simple and on schedule. Another job that they did for us was renovating the doors upstairs. That involved cleaning, smoothing and painting. That all went off totally efficiently and expertly done. All in all we were very pleased with the friendly attitude, wealth of ideas at the design stage, expert execution, helpful and considerate conduct (everything was left clean and tidy at the end of each day) throughout the jobs.

We have used Sam and his team for around the last 6 years to carry out various work on what was a new build property, but required a bit of refinement. Over the years Sam has replaced the stair banister rails and spindles from a cheap painted pine to solid oak. He has fully replaced our kitchen, and all the doors in the house from standard panel doors to oak doors. We have always found Sam and Vic to be polite, professional and courteous and a pleasure to have around. The quality of work that they produce is second to none, so I would not hesitate to recommend Sam and his team.

We used Sam to update our staircase with new bannisters, rails and posts, redecorate hall, stairs and landing and lounge, replace all doors and repair floor in lounge/dining room. Sam and Vic were always polite and very professional. The work was carried out meticulously and always left clean at the end of the day. We are delighted with the end result and have had many compliments from visitors. They also put new lighting in the hallway and arranged with plumber for new radiators to be fitted and Sam adjusted pipework so that we dont have pipes running along the walls.
