Builders.
With a proprietor's name like Andy Knight, it is easy to see where the name Armour Construction came from! So many firms advertise building services and it is almost impossible to know which to choose. Armour, based in Baywood Close, Cove, has been established for over twenty five years. It is a good all-round building firm, suitable for all projects and very highly thought of. Examples of the firm's work can be seen on its website. You will see better websites (and read better spelt testimonials!), but the quality of Armour's work is beyond question.
Electricians.
We spent a great deal of time researching electricians and electrical contractors in Farnborough. Depending on where you search (classifieds, Thomson, Yell.com etc.) you can find up to nineteen such businesses.It is always extremely irritating to read tradesmen's ads which say the same tired old things like, "no job too small", "free estimates" etc. The latter is, of course, quite ridiculous! Who on earth is going to pay for an estimate?
So who do you choose? Do you make the best part of twenty phone calls and have countless people visit to give you an estimate? No, you take a look at Farnborough Shoparound and visit the websites of their recommendations before making a call! Here are two hand-picked local electrical businesses.
We are happy to recommend All Wired Up of Dart Road, near Cove. Proprietor, Scott Brown, clearly prides himself on a high standard of workmanship and a personal service. Check out the website:http://www.switched-on-electrical.com
John Henton, based at Liskeard Drive in Cove, has a pleasingly simple but very informative website. It is not however, always that easy to find. Well qualified, reliable and professional, John is a good choice for a wide range of electrical works.Engravers.
Another North Camp treasure! Yet again, this is a business which we stumbled across, and it's a fine discovery. Situated in Lynchford Road, Boundstone Engraving offers a multitude of engraving services. Fencing contractors.
Depending on where - and when - you look, you may find up to ten businesses advertising fencing services in the Farnborough area. We have chosen to invite just two of them to Shoparound. Both have excellent and informative websites for you to visit at your leisure.
We can provide a very personal recommendation for this contractor. One of our team's next-door neighbours engaged Oakwood Fencing to carry out a complete fence and gate replacement project following extensive wind damage. We were therefore able to see the quality of workmanship and the company's attitude at first hand. They did a thoroughly clean, economical and efficient job. This is a family run business which prides itself on giving high quality service in all aspects of fencing, gates, patios etc. You'll find genuine testimonials and examples of work on the website. Call either Chris or Amanda, who will, we assure you, provide a personal and expert service.

"No job too big or too small" is the proud - and justifiable - boast of this local business. Cove Glass, of Giffard Drive, Cove, is an outstanding example of a glazing firm which will pay as much attention to your broken front door window as it will to the installation of the glass in an entire building. Highly recommended locally.Loft conversions.
We like the company, the work, the attitude and the impressive website. A loft or dormer conversion can make an enormous difference to the functionality and value of a property. APM, based
in Park Road, North Camp, can see your project through from start to finish. Take
a look at the site by clicking the logo, and call for an informal chat
about your ideas.Plumbing & Heating.
There are many businesses advertising heating and plumbing services in Farnborough. Here is one which is so highly recommended
that we are breaking a golden rule. Owing to a temporary technical issue with the website we are unable to provide a weblink at present. We can confidently say that no job is too large or too small for Stephen Becker of Cove. Ok, they all say that don't they? In this case it is true, and if Steve is heavily committed personally he has a network of associates whom he oversees personally to ensure complete satisfaction. Corgi registered, Steve undertakes a great deal of contract work for British Gas, and they're rather choosy!
We will provide a link to Steve's website as soon as possible.

There is only one printing firm featured on this site. That is a recommendation in itself! Whatever your printing requirements - whether private, business or club/society - you will receive a top quality design and production service from J. D. Printing Services at Alexandra Road, North Camp. It may also interest you to know that this firm prides itself on its environmentally friendly production equipment and methods.

This store in Bridge Street, Cove is a treasure. From screws and nails to workwear and tools, MP Tools is an excellent shop for the DIY enthusiast and the professional alike. It is all too easy to think in terms of the large nationwide outlets when it comes to handyman goods, but it is surprising to note that MP is able to compete in terms of price and they have the added advantage of being able to provide a personal service. You're not just someone passing through a checkout here! You'll be dealt with on a personal basis by people who know what they're talking about and who will "go the extra mile" to give sound advice and good service. Roger Gibbs is the manager. There is a superb range here, and the Company's website gives an excellent and well-categorised representation. Online ordering is possible.
