Hello, 

​

My name is Michael Collihole and I am a local tradesman offering my service to you for any projects and maintenance jobs you may have.

I have been in the building trade for over 30 years and my business is one you can trust.

​

I work with landlords that have student and residential accommodation, restaurants, shops and nightclubs. I also team up with other specialist tradesmen that I have worked with for nine years or more, who are also available if you require them (Click here)

 

I am a trusted member of the buy with confidence, Plymouth city council scheme which means my business has been approved by Trading Standards to ensure I operate in a legal and fair way
