• Affixing wooden gate at side of house. (Fencing)

  We asked Tony to do a number of jobs. This included painting large hardwood windows, roof repairs, outhouse doors repairs, and making and affixing a large wooden gate. It was all done to an excellent standard, on time and at a very reasonable price. I would definitely use him again. He's obviously a man in demand and it's not surprising.

• decorating 1 bedroom and stairs and landing (Painting & Decorating)

  Tony is hard working and has done a brilliant job decorating my bedroom and stairs so much so he has been back to fit new doors. I am very happy with the high standard of work and he cleans up afterwards as well! I would certainly recommend him to friends and family.

• Painting and decorating part of a house (Painting & Decorating)

  I hired Tony after reading back through his and others feedback. I cetainly wasnt disappointed. To start with it was a very competitve quote. Some of the work was remedial work where other tradesmen had gone wrong. I am delighted with what Tony has done. He is a total perfectionist and is not happy until he gets the finish just right. He stuck to his original quote even though some other things turned up. Highly recommended.

• Guttering (wood) repair and flashing replacement (Roofing)

  Guttering gap repaired and flashing on the kitchen roof replaced for a good price. Tony ended up doing quite a few other jobs for me at the time. This was in 2009. He is a friendly and helpful guy, and is very reasonably priced. His wife is also very nice to deal with, as she organises all his jobs. He also seems to be better than some plumbers as I was left with a disaster by a plumber who made a mess with some pipes in a bathroom installation, and I only found out too late after paying the said plumber, but Tony came to the rescue and sorted out the problem, again for a very reasonable price. He never asked for money in advance and always waited for the job to be finished completely for payment (cheque and invoices always fine). Also his initial quote never changed despite some minor problems. My two gripes would be his time management skills which were not the best as he was always overbooked and working too hard, and the fact that he has become too popular, and I have not managed to use his services again since (and have had to deal with a terrible builder in the meantime). But he is really good if you manage to get him to come and quote you.

• Hang 5 internal doors (Carpentry & Joinery)

  I hired Tony based mainly on the excellent positive feedback that he had already received. Even though he could not fit me in immediately,
  because he's in such demand, it was well worth the two week wait. The 5 doors were expertly fitted and even though the job took longer than
  anticipated the price given remained the same. Tony is polite, tidy & very talkative! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him or hire in the future.
  Hope you manage to get your kitchen fitted soon Tony! Thanks for a great job.

• Internal doors fitting (Carpentry & Joinery)

  We hired Tony following our job being posted on Mybuilder. Having not had personal recommendation we were not sure what standard of work we would receive.

  However, we found Tony to be an excellent tradesman.

  His work is of high quality, started the job when promised and consider his general attitude towards the task and approach to customers to be excellent.

  The best recommendation we can make is that we would definitely hire him again should we need building work in the future.

  Thanks Tony.

• Need ceiling plastered (Plastering)

  The actual plastering part of this job was completed well but I wasn't happy with the tiling I also required doing. Tony did come back out to rectify this but only after several phonecalls chasing him up.

  tracydcp - 27^th Jul, 2009Neutral

  0161Handyman's reply:

  To clarify, the tiling aspect of this job involved tiling/grouting of a small window ledge, to which progressively tapered towards one end. After advising customer the best way forward in terms of Aesthetics, customer decided against our advice. After completion of the job, customer then requested the tiles to be rectified, to which we did to the way we had "originally" suggested/advised.

• Fitting small kitchen (Kitchen Fitting)

  Tony did a really good job with the small kitchen that needed installing. There was a few problems on the way, due to kitchen fittings, and although it caused a few delays, he still came back a few times to finish off everything. I am very pleased with the outcome and the quote he gave (which did not change). I would recommend Tony to my friends... but then he might not have time to come back to do other works for me!! He is also a very pleasant person to talk to which helps when dealing with tradesmen I think.

• Pointing. (Roofing)

  Tony arrived on time as agreed but couldn't start the job because of rain. He came back the same day later in the afternoon and complete the all the jobs and he even found one/two loose tiles which he fixed whilst on the roof and cleaned two PIR sensors whilst fixing the gutter all for the originally agreed price. I'm pleased with Tony as he came to the door and apologised in person because he couldn't start work due to rain. When he did start work he got stuck in and completed all the jobs cleaned up and took the waste away. I would definitely be using Tony again and would recommend him to my neighbours and to anyone who requires a polite, friendly and courteous professional multi skilled tradesman. Cheers Tony.
