Latest review:
Several of our fence panels had split due to strong winds and our neighbours plants overtaking them, and over time the fence concrete posts had corroded. We asked Ryan to replace both the panels and the posts, and his work did not disappoint! Something I personally find to be important is reliability, as we have been let down previously by other builders with little to no contact, and I found Ryan to be very reliable. He arrived on time and on the dates we discussed for both the quote and for the work itself. As well as the price remaining the same from the initial quote. Ryan was extremely professional throughout the time he was with us. He was friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. He offered us a variety of options for our fence, and was able to give recommendations also. The work itself was of high quality and you can see he takes pride in his work, as he was regularly measuring and checking what he had done. Our fence looks great now! I could not recommend Ryan more if you are looking to have work done in your garden! I will not hesitate to use him again.

Bricklaying- 23 Mar 2026
Ian undertook some lintel repair work for us on our rented garages. We were happy with the first few repairs, but the last two were rushed and the work was left incomplete. Because the walls and lintels were not strapped correctly, the lintels have slipped, leaving the structure unsafe and unsupported. I have tried to resolve this amicably over the past few months, but he continually found reasons to delay fixing his mistakes. He is now completely ignoring calls and messages. We had more work lined up for him, but we will now be using someone else as we can no longer trust him to complete a job to a satisfactory or safe standard.

Plumbing- 23 Jul 2023
Hi I’m so glad I found Maurice Robson(handyman) .He came firstly to check out my dripping tap and see what was needed but if he could have got the part, which he then drove to a DIY shop to find but because they didn’t have it he would have done the repair straight away, so he then ordered it and he’ll return when the part arrives. He was very pleasant and explained everything about the job he was doing and everything else you inquired about. GREAT WORK

Handyman- 12 Oct 2024
Job = 3 ikea units and 2 Habitat Wardrobes. The guys built the Ikea units fine but wardrobes were complicated with poor instructions. They started but said they would be back friday to finish. I had to ring and was told it would be after 1pm so I rearranged my day and waited in. No one turned up eventually got hold of them and they said that the job was more than they expected (basically they were not coming back and probably knew that when they left on Tue). What I am so upset about is they have left a mess, a partly built unit that's been put together wrong, all boxes have been opened, screws and stuff everywhere. Why not just be honest and A. renegotiate time and cost or B. Say you are not capable of the job, talk to me, undo the bit they'd done wrong and help to leave the place tidy I would've understood. The units/panels/doors are very heavy, I've just come out of hospital and now im left with stuff i can't move and no one wants to take on a started job.....

Garden Maintenance- 8 Nov 2020
Good communication for the quotes and through to their first scheduled appointment. The initial garden clearance work was only partially completed as they were only on site for 4 hours! (9.30-1.30). I paid them for all the initial work as they assured me they would finish the remaining work during their second visit to carry out the major fencing works to my rear garden. They then failed to show up on the two dates agreed with no call or excuse, and with no contact since over the past 10 days. Absoluteley useless contractor that actually owes me a refund for the part completed initial job and should be removed from MyBuilder for giving contractors a bad name. Avoid! The fencing works has since been completed by a far more competemt contractor!

Groundwork & Foundations- 17 Sep 2021
John is one of the most trustworthy, kind, knowledgable and hard working people we have ever met. His work has been unquestionably the most stress free and efficient job we have had carried out to date. He dug all the foundations for our extension, dug up areas that we simply couldn’t have done ourselves, and then came back whilst the concrete was being poured to level and ensure everything was right. This was something that John did off his own back which shows the pride he has in his work. Whenever we asked a question about an element of our build that we we’re stuck with, John’s experience and advice never faltered. He has guided us and advised us on things that we would have never though about. We would 100% recommend John to anyone out there looking for works completed and we will not hesitate in having him round to complete further works for us. John will be helping with our drainage once the build structure is up, which again shows the knowledge and range of skills that comes with John doing a job. Thanks so much for everything John, your a truly amazing man with a heart of gold! We will be in touch again shortly 👍👏👌
