If you want to use your loft for storage space, you’ll have to search a long time to find anyone better qualified than Phil Ball. A joiner with over 35 years’ experience, he’s fitted out around 4,500 lofts in the last 10 years. He has an in-depth knowledge, is friendly and always answers his phone.
Phil, 52, comes to your house with a brochure showing every possible option – five kinds of ladders, different hatches, types of boarding, lighting, insulation and shelving. “I’ve worked for a building company and can answer pretty much any question about houses, from footings to roofs!” says Phil, who has an NVQ in joinery and carpentry, along with his City & Guilds recognition.
He’ll help you decide what you want, adapting old arrangements, if need be, and email an itemised quote within 24 hours which he always honours, even if something unforeseen occurs. He prefers this, rather than pressuring you into making a quick decision on the spot. Phil knows roofs, having installed traditional and new-build truss roofs in five European countries. He’ll install in new-builds, abiding by building regulations so NHBC guarantees remain valid.
“I’m fully insured, honest, reliable and turn up when I say – I even contact the night before to remind people I am coming,” adds Phil. Try him for yourself!
