He ran his own tiling business for top end luxury renovations in London’s SW1. Concentrating on limestone, marble, and mosaics, this progressed to accommodate all aspects of residential renovations, from bathrooms and kitchens to comprehensive structural alterations. Colby enjoys the variety of comprehensive renovations and continued to include both full scale renovations and tiling upon his return to Australia with his wife. Colby has project managed both residential and commercial refurbishments, including large scale refurbishments of London Underground stations. The pool extension project displayed on this site won Pool of the Year 2012. Refurbs and Renos project managed for the Paddington based owners and built the surrounding decking, patio, and landscaping, while renovating the existing extension inside and out. TESTIMONIALS When it came time to sell my house there were any number of jobs that I just hadn't gotten around to over the years and were unlikely to get to in the short term. Colby stepped in and managed to get all those things done including plastering, painting, tiling, organising quotes and work from other contractors etc - all of which were done in a sensible, thoughtful, efficient manner. As a result I was able to get the house on the market in a reasonable timeframe and for a reasonable cost. I would have no hesitation in recommending Colby and his work to any of my friends. Colin, Grange Mobile: 0419 172 601 Colby worked on our large, multi-stage project and we would recommend him highly! He has not only worked to our requirements and done a tremendous job but has given valuable advice and input along the way across a wide range of disciplines. As a Structural and Remedial Engineer I would only work with tradesmen capable of working to my high expectations and Colby has exceeded them. Our project included a large cantilevered deck flush with a heated pool and spa, along with a large pergola, outdoor shower, steps, landscaping, and glass and aluminium pool fencing. At the same time as performing the building work, he project managed all other aspects including earthmoving, underground tank installation, complex and comprehensive plumbing, and electricals. Colby also renovated our extension to match the existing Queenslander. Another part of the project was to widen the entrance to our ground floor brick wall garage – Colby installed a custom drilled and notched galvanised beam, my own design, to support the 100 year old house above, and competently communicated and delivered structural adjustments as necessary. He also designed, built and installed a motorised extra-wide tilt-lift garage door. These projects naturally incorporated concrete sawing of brick walls, demolition, and frame installations. Colby can turn his hand to anything we have presented to him and has enjoyed the challenges – we have also found him to respect his work place and the fact the we are living there whilst the renovations are happening.
