Pete and his team removed a wall between a kitchen and dining room and then installed a new kitchen.
Pete and his team were excellent and made the whole process as stress-free as possible. I was provided with a clear detailed estimate for the work and Pete kept me updated with any changes made. His team arrived promptly and carried out the work efficiently and to a very high standard. There was also no need to arrange any other tradespeople, such as electricians and plumbers as this was all sorted out by Pete. The finished result was fantastic and I was so pleased to have chosen Peter Lowe Property Maintenance (from this Norfolk Trusted Trader site) and would have no hesitation in recommending him to any new customers.

We had a wall removed to convert a kitchen and snug into a kitchen dinner. The work also involved relocating the kitchen. Pete was most helpful throughout the project from design to completion. Despite a number of challenges thrown up by our old cottage Pete and his team found economic and innovative solutions.
During the project Pete’s team and associated contractors provided a high quality of craftsmanship and were thoughtful of our needs at all times.
We are so happy with the outcome of the project and we look forward to working with Pete again in the future.

Installing wooden flooring after levelling, removal of internal door (old front door, fitting of internal doors and other carpentry work, refit of downstairs bathroom. Where to start with the work! We knew that the living room, dining room downstairs bathroom, hallway and front and back gardens needed attending to after little upkeep for over 11 years. We invited Pete to quote us for putting wooden flooring down in the living room and hallway and fitting internal doors. We were a little nervous as we have little experience or knowledge of DIY projects but Pete invited us round to view a project he was working on nearby so that we could see first-hand the quality of his work. He also provided us with a network of other people, plumbers, an electrician, plasterer etc and we were able to draw on his knowledge of local businesses to source materials, although he mostly sourced them of an evening and ordered the things we needed. Without going into detail, finding out that our oil tank needed replacing changed our plans and order of what should be done and when. We also decided when Pete was on site that removing an internal doorway would open up the hallway. Pete and his team were fantastic. Although they had other jobs starting, Pete listened to what we were thinking and then made it happen. The quality of the materials and workmanship was first class. We now have wooden flooring laid throughout the living room, hallway, and dining room transforming those three rooms. The downstairs cloakroom was completely refitted, new toilet, wash basin, cabinet and extractor fan installed. We hired Peter for his carpentry skills but found that he, along with David and his apprentices, can turn their hands to most things. And if they can''t, Pete knows a trades person who can. We did most of the decorating to keep the costs as low as possible, but David would have done that if we had needed him to. We also tackled a lot of the labouring work, again, to reduce the costs and Pete supported us with that by lending us his pneumatic drill amongst other things to get the work done. He also coached us on the right way to varnish internal doors that he had fitted as we have never done this before. It''s not just the quality of the work that we can recommend, it''s the peace of mind of knowing that Pete wants to ensure that the work he and his team does is of the highest quality. A couple of the internal doors were difficult to hang and were not quite closing correctly. When we told Pete, he sent David round quickly so that they could be put right. We have had no problems with anything fitted so far (4 months after the work was finished) but if we did, Pete would be round quickly to fix it, we are sure of that. It''s that piece of mind that reassures my wife and I, because as mentioned above, we are not the best at DIY. Phase 2 of our project will hopefully commence this year once we have built up some more funds. Pete has already erected some concrete posts and put in some wood panels for us and has completed the groundworks for the new oil tank that we needed. We will want some garden decking and railway sleepers laid and we will look no further than Pete and his team.

Replace kitchen worktops including island with solid oak worktops, tile and grout around kitchen in place of splash back, replace oven and hob including extractor hood and sink From the first meeting with Pete we were filled with confidence he had the knowledge and expertise to help renovate our dated kitchen and carry out the work in a skilled way to ensure it had a top notch finish. Pete advised on choice of materials and the options available to us, where we could see samples and importantly where we could see examples of his craftsman ship on other jobs.
Pete takes extra care making sure everything is in place before, during and after the work was carried out. Pete provided a full breakdown on his quote with each option clearly explained.
Pete was keen to help (without any prompt) us receive discounts on materials - even using his accounts where necessary.
During the work Pete and his team always treated our home with care and in a very friendly manner (I was working from home and they worked round that too).
We are thrilled with the finish, the worktops are joined seamlessly and look brilliant.

|The work involved fitting a new kitchen which we had purchased separately and laying a new laminate floor. We had a number of meetings with Pete Lowe to agree the work required. Peter gave us a very detailed estimate itemising all the various aspects of the job. He was very helpful in offering advice. It would be difficult to imagine anyone being more helpful or accommodating. The whole team were pleasant and polite and we are very pleased with the work that was carried out.

Installation of new kitchen, including flooring, decorating and tiling of walls. We chose Peter Lowe Property Maintenance having seen good reviews and been invited to inspect their work on another property. Peter discussed the options available to us, recommending companies to visit to choose the kitchen units, tiles, flooring and worktops. A detailed estimate was provided for the work we required.
Work started on the agreed date and the old kitchen was removed quickly and efficiently. We were impressed by the efforts made to minimise mess: sealing of door between kitchen and hall; plastic covers over the hall carpets; gazebo erected in the back garden so they could build the units and cut flooring etc. to shape without interruption by the weather. All work was done to a high standard - Peter is a perfectionist and ensured everything was "just so".
Where other trades were needed - plasterer, electrician, tiler - Peter coordinated their visits efficiently so work continued without a break.
We were very pleased with Peter''s team (Dave, Dylan and Sam) who were friendly, professional and polite throughout. I would certainly recommend Peter Lowe Property Maintenance and will certainly use them again.

Total refurbishment of kitchen and bathroom. Creation of a cloakroom using the redundant space provided by a smaller bathroom and moving the kitchen wall a foot and a half.
Groundworks to accommodate above.
Rewiring and renewing plumbing.
Plastered walls in kitchen, bathroom, cloakroom, hall, sitting room and part bedroom.
Re-forming hatch between kitchen and sitting room.
Installation of new radiators.
Support and guidance throughout the project was first class and went the extra mile.
Initial consultation and site visits helped with the design and detail of the project prior to its commencement and whilst we were not on site, regular updates on progress were most welcomed.
Very friendly team of professionals undertook the work and my regular visits to the site were welcomed to chat about issues which arose through the duration of the project.
Any snagging was attended to promptly and satisfactorily. Overall we rated the workmanship and friendliness of the team as 11 out of 10 and would not hesitate to use this company again and recommend them unreservedly. Peter and his team are always welcome to drop in for a coffee anytime.

Creation of new kitchen diner, including:
Strip out old kitchen
Remove wall between kitchen/dining room
Install new structural steel beam and brick pillars
Digging out floors to level and installing new floor
Rectifying damp issues
Replacing ceilings
New plumbing and electrics
Replastering
Rebuilding upstairs wall
Installing new kitchen
Tiling
New radiators We cannot review Pete and his team highly enough for helping us realise our vision for our new kitchen diner. From the initial planning stages, we received great support in finalising the designs for the space and solving problems that came along with renovating an old cottage - a theme that ran throughout the project! We trusted Pete''s expertise from the off and were rewarded with a fantastic finished result. We were impressed with the impeccable workmanship and skill shown by the team, who were equally lovely to have around.
I was heavily pregnant during the project, which put the pressure on, but Pete and the team pulled out all the stops to ensure that we had a fully working kitchen by the time baby arrived. No request was ever too much, everyone was incredibly helpful and conscientious. We moved out during a portion of the project and Pete was always on the end of the phone and sending us updates. Communication was second-to-none and we never had any concerns.
Having Pete on hand to manage the timetable of the project took the stress away from us and he showed a personal investment in ensuring that we ended up with a space that we loved. I have already recommended him to our friends and I would not hesitate to use his services again.

Installed a vanity unit, including plumbing and other works as requested. This was a reasonably small job of fitting a vanity unit including plumbing but was dealt with in a very professional manner. They arrived on time and completed the job as required. I have no hesitation in recommending Peter Lowe Property Services and will use them again for any future projects.

Renovation of kitchen - replacing worktops, sink and taps. Peter and his team undertook a kitchen renovation for my elderly Dad. Communication throughout was excellent - Peter went out of their way to ensure that my Dad was given all the information he needed before and during the time the work was being undertaken. The team were polite, kind and considerate of my Dad’s needs - ensuring there was minimal disruption to his daily life. The work was completed to a high standard. My Dad is very happy with his newly renovated kitchen and would absolutely recommend Peter and his team to others. 5 star service.

Installation of new kitchen units to form breakfast bar and built-in refuse facility.
Construction of flat-packed furniture.
Installation of new curtain poles.
Large picture and mirror hanging.
Other general handywork. Peter and his team have been to our newly-built property on several occasions, installing a new breakfast bar in our kitchen, assembling wardrobes, putting up curtain poles etc. The quality of work was exceptional and reasonably priced. We need to give a special mention to young Dylan, who has been a star throughout.

Remove dining room/kitchen wall, remove old kitchen and fit new kitchen including plastering, new window, electrics. The work was completed efficiently and any queries dealt with and changes explained. We were involved at all stages and had no concerns as it was project managed for us by Pete Lowe so felt relaxed throughout which was a necessity for us. Peter informed the neighbours when they were on site and left the site neat and tidy throughout.

Our shower was twenty years old and in need of replacement. We designed and bought the material for our new shower, with paneling to replace the tiles (because it is so difficult to maintain the grouting),shower tray, enclosure and thermostat/mixer. Peter and his team, David and Dylan, did the work for us. We cannot praise them too highly. The work is of high quality, completed on time and to budget. They were punctual, pleasant and hard working. Because of Covid and other issues we had waited a long time for the work and were apprehensive beforehand. We need not have worried. Everything went smoothly and we now have a wonderful shower.

The work that was completed was the fitting of a new kitchen. Chris and David between them built the new units, reduced the pipes for plumbing, installed the new kitchen units, re-plumbed the sink, added splashbacks etc. etc. The whole experience was perfect from start to finish. Pete provided us with a detailed breakdown quote prior to the work commencing and visited the site daily to check progress and ensure that we the clients were happy with all the work taking place.
Chris and David (the workmen) arrived promptly each morning and worked extremely hard throughout the day. They ensured that floor coverings were provided to protect our floors. Communication between both the workmen and ourselves was clear and questions or queries answered quickly and concisely. They were very professionally and ensured that the mess that was created daily was cleared up before they left each day.
Chris, David and Pete ensured that we were completely happy with the work before we received our payment invoice.
I highly recommend Pete Lowe Property Maintenance for any work that you wish to have carried out in your home.

Complete kitchen refit, new skirting boards and coving throughout, hanging new internal doors plus much more to help with our project. Extremely helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Pete and his team are excellent, they have an eye for detail and are very thorough. We couldn''t have asked for a better team of people to get our project completed and we would highly recommend them.
