Skilled Work With Integrity
As long as I can remember I’ve been curious to take things apart, imagine something new and rebuild. I built my first house (aged nine!) with bricks from my family’s extension project. This curiosity and love of making things led me to train as a civil engineer. Here I gained an understanding of structures and experience of managing large-scale projects. However, that itch to be making things provided the impetus to start up my own business in construction.
I have twenty years’ experience in the construction industry and a wide ranging, varied skillset. I specialise in carpentry and bespoke bathrooms. I’m an attention to detail guy who is passionate about helping people renovate their homes into functional, beautiful spaces. I pride myself on excellent client relationships, innovative solutions and exceptional finish.
About Matt
About Bethan
As an artist and designer, I love seeing spaces transformed. I like to use natural materials alongside pattern and colour to create cared for spaces with a soulful simplicity and a touch of artistic flair. I have an eye for colour and am fascinated by how good design can reimagine a space, create atmosphere and affect our wellbeing.
I approach designing a room in the same way as creating an artwork; considering composition, light and balance. Whilst beauty is key to my aesthetic and joy, as a mum of two fun, lively, messy kids, I understand the need for practical spaces for everyday living. My favourite part of a project is when the bare bones are complete and it’s time to decorate and make the space sing!

“Matt was very knowledgeable and communicative about what he was going to do. He spent a lot on time on the details, it looks great! Would recommend Pod & Pea for others looking for someone who is reliable and tidy on the job.”
