About Hardwood & Heart
Hardwood & Heart is my small, family‑run painting, decorating and joinery business, built on craftsmanship, care and a genuine respect for the homes I work in. Based in Cheshire, I help homeowners transform their spaces with high‑quality painting, decorating and bespoke joinery that’s tailored to each home.
Founded after my service in the Royal Navy, the business is shaped by the values I learned at sea: discipline, precision, pride in the job and an unwavering commitment to doing things properly. Those standards guide every project I take on.

Craftsmanship With Care
The name Hardwood & Heart reflects what matters most to me: solid workmanship and a genuine passion for creating beautiful spaces. I take the time to understand your home, your style and the way you use each room, ensuring the work I deliver feels tailored, considered and built to last.
A Foundation of Discipline and Detail
Years of service in the Royal Navy instilled habits that now define my approach to craftsmanship — attention to detail, reliability, respect for the environment I’m working in and pride in a job well done. These qualities shape everything from preparation and planning to the final brushstroke
Quality That Lasts
Great results come from meticulous preparation and premium materials. I repair, sand, fill and prime surfaces properly before applying high‑quality paints and finishes. The same care goes into my joinery — from fitted alcove units to bespoke wardrobes and media walls, everything is crafted or installed with precision.

Respect for Your Home
I work cleanly, carefully and respectfully. Floors and furniture are protected, dust is minimised, and your home is left tidy at the end of each day. Many clients choose me because they value a craftsman who treats their home with the same care they do.
Local Knowledge, Local Trust
I work across Cheshire, regularly serving Northwich, Tarporley, Hartford, Bunbury, Knutsford and the surrounding areas. Much of my work comes from recommendations — something I’m incredibly proud of.
Being local means I’m never far away, and you’ll always deal directly with the person doing the work.

From the first message to the final brushstroke, communication is clear, friendly and honest. I turn up when I say I will, keep you updated throughout the project and make sure everything is finished to a standard I’m proud to put my name to.
