We have used Precision for a number of projects, including 3 new bathrooms and a roof repair. On all occasions Nathan has been lovely to work with: knowledgeable and efficient. Without exception everyone sent to work at our home has been hard working, really skilful and lovely to have around. It's been at a great price too. We have been really impressed and would definitely recommend.

From the outset it was obvious that Nathan had a complete understanding of what we wanted to achieve with our new bathroom and talked us through what could be done; nothing was a problem. When the time came to do the work, his team were very professional, respected the fact that they were working in our home, were really well scheduled and did a really good job. When issues arose or decisions were required, these were never treated as problems but simply opportunities to discuss with us the best way forward. Everything was completed to a very high standard and all within the original quotation. We would certainly use Nathan and his team again.

Recently completed a 1 year build of 2 adjacent properties in Cheltenham. The Precision team were excellent throughout - always respectful, polite and responsive with a strong work & quality ethic. A pleasure to work with, and this has continued post-build in addressing any small issues. Would highly recommend and will certainly engage Andrew, Nathan and the wider team again in the future.

We have recently had our ensuite and our bathroom refitted by Precision Home Interiors and are extremely pleased with the finished installations. Nathan and his team did an excellent job, very professional, efficient and courteous. During the installation they offered very useful advice and also gave us the opportunity to provide our own input on various detail aspects of the work. We have just taken the decision to have our utility room refitted, and have appointed Precision to undertake this work, safe in the knowledge that they will produce another high quality end result. Don’t take the risk of shopping around, just use them!

We used Precision Interiors to reconfigure our upstairs and replace two bathrooms. They were a pleasure to work with, consulting along the way and willing to make adjustments to our plans as requested. We are very pleased with our end results.

I can’t thank Nathan and all his staff enough , for the absolutely 5 star 🌟 workmanship, professionalism and quality that was given to our flat refurbishment and my bathroom renovation. Huge thanks 🙏

Not a happy customer due to not getting the quote and get a reply within the timeline Precision promised. Actually, they don’t get back to us at all. We were originally told quote will be provided within 3 working days, then wait one week nothing. I sent email to the office which their office replied quote will be shared in next few days, and one week passes, we still haven’t got a quote or any reply. I think Precision is more fit for people who have a big renovation project, like a whole house or extension job, bit fancy job not handy work. We have a 14 sqm garage conversion project, and it may be too small or too cheap for Precision to put effort, hence Precision even never try to send the quote to us.

The team from Precision recently completed the build of a large rear extension on our home. We are delighted with the way the project was handled with a great deal of flexibiilty and respect for our deadlines and indeed our space. All of the work was carried out to time and by a range of expert trades who were focused on doing a good job and the right job. Thank you to you all for creating such a lovely living space.

Precision came into do a full rip-out and refurbishment of my house in Brookbank Close, Cheltenham. The comprised removing everything downstairs and installing new UF Heating, a new WC, a new kitchen, all electrics and plumbing works, and an unusual and demanding amount of custom joinery. The teams were a pleasure to work with and I would recommend them without hesitation.
