Landscaping- 5 Sep 2020
I have had fencing done by the lads at landscape Hinckley, they are great lads, very polite, tidy and they have made a great job of the work. They worked hard and kept me well informed of the job throughout the work, I would definitely use them again, and have already recommended them to my partner who wants some work done! Thank you lads for a great job 👍🏻

Guttering- 3 Sep 2020
Really happy with his work and punctuality. He mentioned that he has cleaned the gutter and put water to test the down pipes. Now I need to wait for the rain so that I can confirm the quality of the job he has done for me. So far so good for me. Happy to call him for future jobs. Thanks

Conservatories- 2 Nov 2019
Vivid Glazing and Home Solutions limited was engaged to replace a PVC broken roof panel in my conservatory. I found the service provided very professional, prompt, polite, warm and efficient. His work was very neat and clean, meaning he actually cleaned of finger print smudges from a self cleaning roof glass panel after installation in the rain, I might add on the 02/11/19, demonstrating care and pride of his work. Will recommend and use him again, definitely and absolutely without a blink on an eye. Very excellent overall service and the price was good as well. I am very happy with the service

We have gutted and re-built our whole house and Ronnie has been on the journey with us for 2 years! Ronnie has fitted our amazing kitchen and bathroom which gets a lot of admirers! He has given us lots of options and ideas as well as doing the job as we wanted and how we envisaged our house to look. Ronnie works really hard and is always honest about the jobs and the timescales he can meet. I can feel 100% confident every time I recommend him.
