    Removal of old loose paper loft insulation

    Gary did an excellent job working in grotty conditions to clear the old loose loft insulation. He was friendly, punctual, keen to start the job asap and cleaned up when the job was complete. Would definitely use Gary again.

    rain/bird guard cowl installation

    Garry replied promptly, turned up on time and was happy to talk through the job with me and make recommendations. He gave the best quote. Because he the weather wasn’t good during the week he agreed to work on Saturday. Garry is really cheerful and friendly guy. We would we have no problem hiring him again. Alex and Adam

    Cowl broken

    Did a great job repairing the chimney cowl and repointing the chimney brickwork. All my questions were answered and he explained clearly the pros and cons of various options.

    Replace fitted kitchen, remove partition wall
    I am pleased by the result Gary & Kieth have produced, they were flexible as I wanted to complete certain jobs to keep costs down. The work was completed as promised with prompt attendance and a pleasant working relationship. They continued to consult with me to ensure the detail was as required. HAPPY.

    Roofer

    After Gary came and 'fixed' the roof it continued to leak when we next had heavy rain. I phoned him and left many messages, none of which were returned. In the end I got a different person to come and fix leak who said that Gary had not done a good job. The roof is now fixed but never heard from Gary again. I am a single female and I feel he took advantage of me not knowing anything about roofs. I would not have minded the roof continuing to leak had Gary replyed to my messages and come to help sort it out. He was very quick to reply before he took the job and money with no recipt - even though I asked for one. I am suprised at all of the possitive feedback he has recieved, this is the reason I trusted him in the first place!

    Answer from tradesperson:

    I am disappointed with the feedback left by Lorna 10 MONTHS later. I explained to Lorna and her partner that the side of the roof would have to be stripped and re-tiled as it had not been done properly. They couldn’t afford this and we agreed that I would do a temporary repair. I chased Lorna for feedback and heard nothing, I am surprised she has said she tried to contact me! Surely if it still leaked feedback would have been left at the time? Lorna totally understood this was only ever a temporary fix to suit her budget, and not the work required to solve the problem completely.I am bitterly disappointed with this negative feedback on my otherwise unblemished record, which I do hope my future Clients will appreciate.

    slipped tiles to main roof, leak to lean-to tiled roof

    Gary did a great job, was honest in his valuation and what was required for the job. Gary was efficient, punctual and left the work place clean and tidy afterwards. I would definetly consider using Gry again and would recommend his services to any furture customer.

    Leaky roof/dormer window

    Gary came round quickly to look at the job and the work was completed within the next week. A very good job and we have had no problems with the leaky roof since. Thoroughly recommended.
