I was given lots of great advice from Rob about putting a path in my garden. No pressure to purchase the materials from Drinkwaters but their prices were reasonable and included delivery so I got everything I needed from them. I think the finished path will stand the test of time and it looks fab. Thanks!

Fabulous independent pet shop, very good on price, great for Raw food for our Border Terrier- Ozric. Certainly beats the larger stores for customer service.

Second time we've used Peakcraft to do fitted bedrooms for the kids with desks and wardrobes. Great work again from Luke and Mark. Very Happy. Many thanks Peakcraft! Gill & Tony.

Excellent service all round from the guys at Peakcraft. They designed and fitted a bespoke shelving unit in the old fireplace space in the children's playroom. Nothing was too much trouble, from coming round to discuss the design right through to the final installation. Even suggested a few added extras, one of which was the lighting for the units in the kids playroom, it looks amazing and is complemented by everyone who comes round, it's transformed the space. Thank you - you do a fantastic job!

We recently had fitted bedroom furniture completed by Mark & Luke. The price we were given was very reasonable. We feel we got above and beyond what we expected and are over the moon with the results. We had done plenty of research when planning our bedroom out to make the best use of storage, but Mark put some savvy ideas and tips forward to us and we are so grateful as the results are ace! This feels like really well made furniture and Mark and Luke went to every little detail to make it a top class job. I will be using these guys again in the next few years when I plan to kit out one of my other bedrooms as I've been really impressed with the results.

I can’t recommend Mark and Luke enough for the transformation of our single bedroom into a walk-in dressing room. Mark in particular was very patient with me in the design stage and gave us lots of ideas on the finish of the wood which helped us to choose. Their craftsmanship is second to none, using good quality materials to match. I am over the moon with the finished room and it’s so nice to have easy access to shoes and handbags. I now need a boot room downstairs! 😉 Highly recommend. Thank you Mark and Luke. Mandy and Sean.

Mike has done a number of jobs for us over the years. His work has always been first class and has significantly enhanced the aesthetic appeal and utility of our home. I can highly recommend him to anyone who needs a craftsman. His latest job comprising the design, supply and fit of a bespoke oak front door and frame along with the installation of an oak canopy over is a joy to behold.

Mike refurbished our original Victorian front door and we are really pleased with the quality of the work and final result. Mike is very professional and communicated clearly with us throughout the project. Would highly recommend.

Mike designed and fitted our bespoke front door for our Victorian terrace and we couldn't be happier with the result. From the initial quote to the final installation, his professionalism, attention to detail and passion for his craft were evident. The door is beautifully made with exceptional craftsmanship and perfectly compliments the character of our home. The entire process was seamless, with clear communication and expert advice throughout. We highly recommend Mike for any joinery work and will definitely be returning to him for future projects. An outstanding job - thank you!

Mike built us a beautiful, bespoke hardwood front door with mock stained glazing. He also removed an unsightly vestibule frame and door and built a cupboard to hide our electricity meter. We have been so impressed with Mike's professionalism and the quality of his craftsmanship. We will definitely be contacting Mike again when our house renovations continue and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for top quality joinery work.

Will and his team are superb craftsmen, professional and skilful. They replaced five sash windows, two further windows and two doors of my 200-year old house with acoya and double-glazing. I have had lots of compliments about how wonderful they look, the windows in particular being crafted as traditional sashes.My heating bills are so much lower which is an added bonus. I have no hesitation in recommending them

The guys at Brooks have been great - we've had a large bespoke landing window with stained glass replaced and fitted. We also wanted to retain the original stained glass and put it back into the new frame. Will came out and measured up - gave us a quote with a number of options - we picked the one which worked for us and then a timeline was set and Will kept in touch throughout. On the fitting day, they came, removed and took away the old window, fitted the new one, minus the stained glass, but with new double glazing. Then, a couple of weeks later they returned with the restored stained glass and finished up the fitting of it all. It looks fantastic and the house is warmer too - Sadye in the office has always been on the case as well - can't recommend these guys enough for a professional courteous, efficient service which has given us a really high quality finished product. Very pleased - would use again.

Will and his team removed our old vestibule and replaced our front doors with a new hardwood door and panel. We are extremely pleased with the end result. Will always answers messages and queries and was keen to make sure we were happy with the project throughout.

Rating: 5 / 5

Will and the team have installed three doors across family and friends over the last few years. There are two more installations in the pipeline. One is made and the other at estimate stage. The quality of work, the speed of installation and the reliability of Will are top class. I recommend Brooks Joinery without hesitation. Hope Valley

Lee and his team recently carried out a full house renovation for us on our (very worse for wear!) 250 year old stone terraced property during the winter of 2017. Lee worked with us and our ideas to provide a turn-key service from initial plans to completion and handover. Having never carried out a renovation project to this scale before and admittedly not quite sure what to expect, the expertise and knowledge Lee provided was not only essential in managing our expectations, but also fundamental in providing us with realistic parameters for the works. The initial works consisted of gutting the whole of the inside of the property, stripping the plaster back to the bare stone walls, removing the ceilings and preparing the property for a full re-plumb and re-wire. Once service works had been carried out, which Lee of course arranged for and oversaw, the second phase involved reinstalling the ceilings and relining all walls to bring it-up to modern standards. Lee then continued to oversee the re-plastering off the whole property before assisting with the kitchen and bathroom installations, flooring and even decoration. Lee was nothing but professional and helpful throughout and applied both his vision and experience to the build that has created a safe, unique and welcoming home. If you want a job carried out to the highest level, we would most definitely suggest contacting Lee Adams Builders and have recommended Lee and his team to family members and friends. As testament to this fact, we have even booked in with Lee once again for later on this year and look forward to him and his team returning to carry out external groundworks to complete our vision of a well presented family home. Thanks again Lee for all of your help and hard work. Quality really does come as standard with works carried out by your and your team.

Lee Adams carried out a large extension for us this summer and proved to be everything we could want from a builder. The job was finished in good time with the team being punctual and on site for the duration. The weather this summer was particularly poor for building but the job was still progressed and with minimal disruption to the existing house. Lee ensured we were well protected from the elements in the absence of a roof. The quality of workmanship is excellent and has been commented on by family, neighbours and people just passing by. Lee’s attention to detail is a credit to him and he proved to be honest, reliable, hardworking and flexible. We wouldn’t hesitate to call Lee in the future and we can’t recommend him highly enough.

Lee and his team completed extensive work for us between 2020-2024. Installation of multiple new lintels and UPVC windows, re-plastered six large rooms, fitted new bi-fold doors, re-laid a new concrete garage floor, re-built a new roof above a bay window plus miscellaneous repair work. They most recently completed a very large single-storey rear extension. They are extremely reliable, honest, polite, courteous and perform work to an exceptional standard. Further, they’ve also helped us out with several minor domestic emergencies. I would thoroughly recommend them.

Rating: 5 / 5

We found Lee and his team excellent. From sorting out the arrival and removal of skips to organising the installation of pilings at a moments notice, solutions-led Lee never let us down. He converted our garage - much taller than our adjacent kitchen - into a level, insulated, plastered and painted open-plan, modern kitchen/lounge area, installing a tiny but so useful cloakroom as well. We would not hesitate to recommend Lee and would certainly use him again.

Had plenty of full English breakfast in my life so i know what i like and how i like it. This one was served in well and respectable manner. What's important for me and i hopefully others as well that staff was wearing face masks / face protection. Sadly you don't see that I'm many public serving food. Also what like too is the fact that on each table was small sanitiser. Well done! But moaning aside lets focus on food. And there a lot good to say about it. Starting with latte which is the best regular size i had ever. Everywhere. Also serving in glasses rather than mugs is always welcome. Maybe, just maybe bit to weak. And i know what proportions for latte should be. Maybe changing coffee strength imo ? Other than that was perfect. Food! That's why we here. It was great. Starting with sausage, which either was something more than just cheapest available ( like 50p in Tesco?) or from butchers. It was nice, meaty with hint of apples ? And size of it too. That's for people whom saying that size doesn't matter. Flipping does here! :) And there's beans which also isn't anything cheap and that its got great taste. Hash brown and toasts where well made and couldn't be happier with them. Last but not the least was egg. Regardless of the fact that i like thing organised and sorted in my own way i love the irregularity of egg. Had to many to perfect looking eggs with FEB just to realised they awful in taste. This one looks like full range, yolk was almost orange in colour ... even now i can feel every one of the flavours on my plate. This is how good it was. Was siting outside, and i have to say that during the winter time or colder days it's got to be amazing to sit there, drinking something hot while waiting for you food. Complains ? Just one, minor one. When i was going to use pepper there was almost none. Had to get one from another table where it was running low too. But you cant have everything. Had a day off so decided to walk around Whalley Bridge. Originally was planning to go to different place but TVK as the only one had space to eat. And let me tell you this is the place you have to visit.

Fantastic, tasty food and good sized portions. The staff are very attentive and friendly with the whole experience being great value for money. This place is a little gem…always a winner when we eat here. Easily 5 stars but would give more if I could!! The home baked cakes are just wow….

Excellent food. Had a beef veggie pie and it was scrumptious, gravy is great and I am not a fan of gravy but this one. Enjoyed. Interior is not great but it is typical for The British infrastructure.

Popped in after walking by and seeing the fattest brownies for £3 and they're definitely worth it, amazing and extremely tasty. Will definitely be back for the rocky road! Friendly staff and plenty of seating available if need be , right next to the train station so good for a snack 😋🥨
