We have been working with Joe Cauchi since winter 2002/3, first to build a swimming pool and landscape the garden around, and subsequently to do other improvements to our old farmhouse, which had originally been converted in the 1970’s. These have included installing en-suite bathrooms, levelling and replacing a floor which was sinking, redoing the kitchen, knocking archways between rooms and installing arched doorways, replacing the courtyard floor and several plumbing, electrical and finishing jobs.
We are delighted to be working with Joe, as he is the only builder that we have ever come across who actually does what he says he is going to do, on time and within budget! This is frankly nothing short of miraculous. It is easy to keep in touch with progress from England, as he responds promptly to emails, gives updates and sends images of the work in progress and finished jobs.
Joe is a strong character and not afraid to make clear recommendations based on his years of building experience. We have sometimes disagreed and he is happy to argue points and give way where appropriate. However, he will not compromise when it comes to structural issues. We have discovered over the last few years, that he knows what he is doing and has always been right about what is needed. As we are in England most of the time, it is important to know that the work is in the hands of someone we trust. We are very happy that Joe is taking care of it.
