"Tony did a brilliant job of tiling our bathroom. It wasn't a simple job as the walls are rather wonky and our border tiles are twice the depth of the wall tiles (oops!), but he embraced the challenge and came up with solutions to the problems. Tony is a really friendly, likeably guy, enthusiastic, hardworking and a complete perfectionist. I'm really pleased with the result and would definitely recommend Tony to anyone."

"Tony fitted a cat flap into a upvc door for us and did a fantastic job, even putting up with my 7 year old bombarding him with questions for an hour and a half!  He even stayed on to do an extra job, which hadn't been quoted for.  We found him to be a very professional yet kind and honest person and will use him for any other work we need doing in the future.  We would definitely recommend him to others.
Wendy Webb, Melbourn, Cambridgeshire

“Tony plastered one of our bedrooms where one of the walls (and ceilings adjacent to that wall) was brick, and fixed a crack in the ceiling of another bedroom. Professionally and friendly, the work was done neatly and we are very happy with the turn-out of the room. He had to pop in several times to discuss with us before the work started because we wasn’t entirely sure what we needed to have done. He made good suggestions and explained the work to us in detail before the work starts.”

Ji Dong, Royston, Hertfordshire

"Tony tiled and transformed our bathroom from bog-standard to hotel-standard. He is very easy to work with, precise and determined to do the best job possible. We’ll definitely get him back for other home improvements now that we’ve seen his work, know his capabilities and trust him to do a good and thorough job"
Tom & Amy Brook, Royston, Hertfordshire

We found that having Smooth design tile our bathroom a very positive experience and would be happy to have Tony come back to do some work for us a very professional service!"
Andy & Donna Taney, Royston, Hertfordshire

"Tony has done various jobs for me including Handyman and Tiling. He is extremely helpful, excellent at his job and always punctual. Tony has great insight. He is very proud of his work and comes up with many ideas. He always goes the extra mile and has helped me at very short notice in the past. I love the bathroom he has just tiled. It’s the kitchen next, and he is the only man for the job!!"
Jan Freeman, Royston, Hertfordshire

"As DIY no-hopers, my husband and I had build up quite a list of odd-jobs. Tony responded to our call for help almost immediately, and listened attentively as we went through them, making useful suggestions along the way.  We received our quote very quickly and the work was scheduled.Tony arrived, as arranged, and on time, and rattled through what was quite a number of varied tasks - from fitting a cat-flap, to replacing door handles, to hanging photo frames with 'bespoke' fixings invented on the spot by Tony.  All jobs were completed to a high standard and Tony left everything clean and tidy.   We will certainly use Tony again in the future, and would be happy to recommend him to others"

Tony hung an antique corner cupboard for me and I was impressed by his methodical approach to the task and the care that he took to ensure that the cupboard was level. He is an enthusiastic worker and is completely professional in everything he does, from cleaning up after himself to responding to e-mailed enquiries. I'd definitely use his services again."

"After doing a great job tiling our bathroom, we had Tony back to re-board and plaster our kitchen ceiling and then to tile the kitchen splash back. Tony is always well presented and punctual, as well as being conscientious of your needs, offering advice and another perspective. He is also friendly and trustworthy meaning we were more than happy to give him the keys to the house while we were at work knowing that everything will be completed to a high standard on our return. Minimal hassle and minimal fuss!Thanks Tony!"
Ben & Jess, Bassingbourn, Royston

"Tony tiled a bedroom fireplace for us recently. Although it was a small area, it wasn't an easy job as the tiles we'd chosen were soft and needed careful cutting around some awkward angles. Nevertheless Tony was unfazed & proved he was up to the challenge. He was extremely prompt in responding to my initial email enquiry and was equally punctual on the day.  While work was in progress he checked in regularly with me to make sure I was happy with what he was doing. He was extremely tidy & even polished up the tiles for us once he'd completed the job! Tony takes obvious pride in his work the quality of the end result is testament to his meticulous approach and attention to detail."
Charlie & David Miles, Royston, Hertfordshire

"It’s great to find a handyman who tackles any job, large or small, with the same enthusiasm and attention to detail.  Tony did an excellent  job fitting a new shower screen in the bathroom and rebuilding the fitted wardrobes in my bedroom  to customise them for me.   At the same time he dealt with a number of little things that needed fixing, which took  a load off my mind after moving into a new house.  I would definitely use Smooth Design again and would recommend them to anyone without hesitation."
Mrs Orchard , Melbourn, Hertfordshire
