About Blackwood Home Improvements
Hi, I'm Paul Blackwood, founder of Blackwood Home Improvements.
Based in Leigh-on-Sea, I've been helping homeowners across Essex transform their homes for over 10 years. Whether it's a new kitchen, bathroom renovation or complete home improvement project, my goal is to deliver quality workmanship and a service you can trust.
I believe every home should be both practical and enjoyable to live in. From improving everyday living spaces to completing full renovations, I take pride in creating solutions that are built to last and finished to a high standard.
For larger projects, I work with my experienced team of trusted tradespeople, ensuring every stage of the project is completed professionally. Blackwood Home Improvements is fully insured, and our team includes appropriately certified specialists, including Gas Safe, FENSA and NICEIC registered engineers where required.
From your first enquiry through to the finished result, you can expect friendly, reliable service, clear communication and respect for your home. Every project is completed with care, attention to detail and a commitment to leaving your home clean, tidy and ready to enjoy.
Our Services
Bathrooms
We undertake all aspects of bathroom fitting, including baths, showers, wet rooms, basins, toilets, bathroom suites and accessible solutions for elderly and disabled customers. Whether you've chosen your new bathroom or need advice, we can fit your suite or source quality products through our trusted suppliers.
Kitchens
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and we're here to help you create a space that's both practical and stylish. Whether you've already chosen your new kitchen or need help sourcing one, we can remove your existing kitchen and professionally install your new one, including all appliances, for a seamless finish.
Tiling
Before any tiling work begins, we make sure your walls and surfaces are properly prepared for a long-lasting finish. If plastering or other preparation work is needed, we'll take care of it before laying your chosen tiles. We install ceramic, porcelain, slate and mosaic wall and floor tiles with precision and attention to detail.
Plumbing & Heating
We provide a comprehensive range of plumbing services, from installing sinks and taps to complete central heating systems. Whether it's a small repair or a full installation, every job is completed to a high standard. For all gas work, we use Gas Safe registered engineers, ensuring all work is carried out safely and certified.

Here's what they have to say.
״Paul and Steve put in a complete new bathroom for us, before we had a shower over the bath but now we have a lovely new shower which is so much easier to access, toilet and sink were replaced, The toilet is better than what we had, and the new sink has a vanity unit so therefore we have storage as well, And they fitted an extractor fan, They were always on time and kept us informed of what was going on, very clean and tidy and very polite, we were more than happy with the price and would highly recommend, Thanks guys.״

״"Very pleased with the work carried out by Paul and Steve. They provided a new en suite bathroom. At the same time happily accommodated some updates to my main bathroom without any fuss. On time every day, work completed to high standard, working areas always left clean. Highly recommended."״
Phil Brooks, 7th July 2022 (TrustATrader)
״We couldn't be happier with Paul and his team. They carried out a complete refit of our dated and tired family bathroom and transformed it into a stunning modern shower room exactly as requested. All the work was carried out expertly and professionally to an extremely high standard. They turned up on time every day and finished a day earlier than predicted. All the old units and hardware were taken away at the end of the work. They took great care in our home and were courteous and professional from day one until completion. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone and in fact I already have. We will certainly be using Blackwood Home Improvements for any future work.״
