What our clients think about us:
(All pictures are of the actual works described.)
This large, all timbered, ornate porch and first floor sun/viewing room (possibly the most important little room in the house as it has a splendid view across the Eastern Solent) was suffering major rot degradation and could no longer be successfully repaired. For some time we had been seeking a builder that we could trust not only to undertake the structural rebuild, but who would also be able to design it using modern low maintenance, long life materials, which would, as near as possible, duplicate the original architectural lines and mouldings. Ian DuCane from Sunline had carried out various maintenance works for us over a period of years, and it was this relationship coupled with his positive attitude to the project that persuaded us to award Sunline this contract. We are delighted with the outcome, which still carries the charm of the "all timbered" original but is in fact maintenance free from ground to gable.Mr. & Mrs. Bryce.
I have known Ian Ducane for 39 years and that has been my good luck! No job is too big or too small for him to complete in a most satisfactory manner, and always in a most professional and cheerful way.Tony Johnson

We used Sunline to design and build our conservatory after a nightmare experience with a large national company, which started the work but did not have the skill to complete it. (It is a large and complex shape with a heavy glass roof.) Mr. DuCane's structural knowledge and positive attitude has produced exactly what we wanted, including some ideas we had not considered!

After asking 4 different builders to come along and quote for our work, (to turn the interiorof an old bare brick outbuilding into a modern office suite) we found Sunline to be by far the most proffessional in their approach and response. Sunline provided us with the confidence we needed when quoting for the work with cost effective money saving suggestions and a very clear 'open-book' policy. After awarding the job to Sunline, they turned up when they said they would and stayed on the job until complete which incidentally was exactly what they said they would do. They were also very clean during the whole job, clearing up each night. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Sunline to anybody thinking of using their services. By far the best company we have ever used in this regard. Nice cheerful guys also which makes a difference these days!

Sunline has carried out numerous work for me over many years, including Installing extra radiators, Upgrading of W.C. & cloakroom, Installing a new Fire surround, Kitchen modifications, Fascia and roof work, and in particular installing a new front door and portico. Ian DuCane is probably the only craftsman that has worked for me that I can unhesitatingly recommend for both the excellent quality of his work and unfailing reliability.Joe Domican

Mr. DuCane has been my builder for many years. He always works to a very high standard, and I have been extremely happy with all the workmanship. Over the years I have had a new kitchen installed and a conservatory with toilet included, also several other windows and doors replaced. Mr. DuCane is efficient, pleasant and very trustworthy.Helen Voller

I have had extensive renovations undertaken to my 1920’s property in Southsea, including a shower room refurbishment and creation of a kitchen/diner from two separate rooms. The latter was complicated by the removal of a structural wall, using an RSJ support to create an archway access between the rooms. Both projects have been completed in an efficient, timely and professional manner. At each stage of the projects, imaginative and creative solutions have been devised by the staff at Sunline to solve potentially difficult problems relating to space and asthetics, consulting with me at every stage of the construction. Sunline will undertake the ‘whole project’, saving time bringing in different trades to handle the plumbing, electrics, carpentry, and general building work. I can commend to any potential clients the service offered by the above company.Phil Bates

Over a number of years, Ian Ducane has done a number of jobs for me, including fitting of double glazed windows, and the reconstruction of a porch roof.(this was done with glass fibre instead of the normal Felt for a longer lifespan.) In every case, he has undertaken the tasks with enthusiasm and tact, and I have always been pleased with the results of his skills which are of a high standard.David

This difficult arched doorframe was manufactured in the workshop by Ian Ducane of Sunline, to replace the original which had rotted. It was a first rate piece of work which fitted exactly to the brickwork and the existing doors when 'offered up' for the first time, without any need for adjustment. To achieve this exceptional standard of accuracy, with a workshop-manufactured item based entirely on measurements taken on-site on a cold and windy day, is the mark of a master craftsman - and that is how Ian Ducane should be described. Apart from this arched door frame, Ian Ducane also carried out extensive renovation to the roof tiles and heavy roof timbers of this property, together with the complete renewal of the guttering; all this work was carried out to similar standards of excellence. He is thoroughly recommended for any work of this nature, both at ground level and at height.John

Sunline has recently done a lot of work to our property, involving demolishing the old Kitchen extension and conservatory and building a new larger Kitchen extension and conservatory, including all the associated electrical, plumbing, Tiling and flooring, complete with a new fitted kitchen. Ian DuCane has made sure that all the details were thought about such as Weatherproof external Garden socket, Outside tap, External security lighting, properly designed steps from the conservatory to garden and a new curved top gate set in a brick arch which really finishes the outside a
treat. He also made a lovely purpose built hairdressing unit in the conservatory which matched the Kitchen without having to buy extra tops or units. All his work is to a high standard and we have no hesitation in reccomending
his bussiness.Eddy & Yvonne

Sunline has carried out numerous work for me on the properties that I own. I enclose pictures of an example of his work, which involved installing windows and doors to my flat, they really enhanced the apartment without losing the charm of the sash window style, Ian also upgraded the cladding to the dormers while installing the new windows ,which was not easy as they are five stories up. Ian DuCanes work is done with a minimum of disruption and is always top quallity.Keith Ryall I am pleased to endorse "Sunline". Their helpful, experienced manner enabled us to replace balcony end screens, fascia panels and guttering to our block of flats, which will save a great deal of money in maintenance in the future. "Sunline" fitted these quickly and efficiently and we were so impressed we also ordered some windows to be replaced as well. I have recommended their services to anyone thinking of similar work.R Pether Director Fountain Court Management Co
