MJS Magic on Bathroom Tiles

Our plastic surgeon has worked his ‘magic’ on a bathroom tile at a home in Exeter. Mr Bishop said ‘It’s like magic, as close as I look you just can’t see the holes’. The issue came from a shower fitted at the wrong height. Without the need to remove the shower and replace the tiles we precisely and carefully filled and finished the holes not to leave a scar or surface difference on the tile. If you would like to use our ‘Magic Man’, please contact us to book in for any surface repairs; Work tops, Baths, Shower trays, Kitchen units, Brick, Cills or Window frames.

Dolly Joins Sidmouth RFC as Player/Coach

Our long standing friendship, support and sonsorship has flourished in to Premiership winning player Phil Dollman joining Sidmouth RFC as Player/Coach for the coming 2020/21 season. Having held coaching roles at Sidmouth for a number of years and finishing his career with the Chiefs at the end of the season, Phil has combined the two roles into one. MJS have been apart of the journey for 3 years and continue to build on the community support and responsibilities they undertake each year in and around the local Devon area.

Bringing Phil onto the pitch from a playing perspective is a dream for the club and players at Sidmouth RFC and it has been a project Louis, Managing Director, had visions of for some time. ‘A player and professional of Dolly’s quality will not only bring unrivaled knowledge to the senior squad but also the wider team at Sidmouth RFC. I am hugely proud to have been a part of making this happen and look forward to what already promised to be an exciting and entertaining season. I wish all the teams at SRFC the best of luck for the coming season.”

Phil leaves a true legacy at Exeter Chiefs having won numerous cups, leagues and not to mention the Premiership. We are sure he will continue to push SRFC and utilise his coaching and playing qualities to the maximum potential.

Continuing During Covid-19 Crisis

With the wheels being largely stopped in the construction industry, we have kept our office running, providing staff with brand new laptops to enable them to work from home. This has kept the company going during the lock down period and allowed us to continue working with our customers, pricing new sites, paying our staff and processing materials ready for our return to site. Our telephone has kept ringing and we had staff at the ready to help out wherever possible. This has been a true success story.

We have also taken on one-off projects which have proven that work can still safely go ahead, following Government guidelines and achieve a high standard of finish.

The spirit shown by the staff to enable to company to continue throughout the lock down and restricted work has shown why the company continues to build a strong and reliable reputation, carrying out work safely and efficiently, pleasing the client.

We would also like to extend out thanks to our supply chain partners who have managed to service these projects and do so in a safe and careful manner.

MJS Group Start work at Exeter RD&E Hospital

With the huge impact COVID-19 is having on the UK and world economy, we have had to find alternative work from our main-stay house building. All of our customers have shut sites and following Government guidance we have followed suit.

This has been very different work for us but one we have enjoyed doing and playing a small part in battling COVID-19.
