    Fitting a new front door

    Friendly, on time, helped me assess what needed to be done, get the fitting so I was able to order online. The door is well-fitted, Fitzroy made some adjustments that were needed, all looks and works nicely. Job completed earlier than expected and all the clearing up was done. Good price. Good communication. Would recommend.

    Victorian house front door re-hanging

    Fitzroy did really thorough and high quality work for me today. He has fixed what has been a very difficult problem, our front door. This has been affected by movement of the house, so represented a serious challenge, I think. I am very pleased! Fitzroy was thoughtful & clear throughout about what he was going to do. Also, very attentive to my needs. To cap off an excellent experience all round, he left the area in my house where he setup his workspace spotless! I will definitely ask Fitzroy back to work on other projects.

    Arrived on time, completed the work, and, for an additional cost, fixed some plumbing issues.

    Broken spindle handrail job

    Fitzroy responded promptly to my message and came and viewed the job within days. He was polite and warm and gave us a realistic price. He arrived punctually and did a great job. Very happy with his work and very thankful to have a spindle on our staircase fixed!

    Rotting wooden window sill

    Needed to waterproof 2 window sills in my property. He arrived on time, the job did not take long and he mostly tidied up after himself upon completion. The reason for my neutral feedback is this, when I first had fitzroy come and quote me he gave me a price, I asked if I needed to get materials, he told me no. I asked if there would be 2 people he told me no, and I informed him the work would not get done till July, even though I had the quote done in May. When Fitzroy arrived he said he was going to get the materials he needed, then came back with an extra person and told me he had undercut himself because the wood was expensive, this already did not sit well with me because I specifically asked my questions so I knew the cost and price would not be changing. After the work was completed I asked for the invoice, which he seemed put out by, but I advised I would not be paying over £300 pounds in cash for anything until I had someone come and check if the work was sufficient. (This seemed to upset fitzroy who didn't think his work should be checked). The work was satisfactory, however I am told that there are some areas he could have re-sealed. (fitzroy had already said my decorator can do that) but I didn't like his attitude, he kept accusing me of having an ulterior motive, because I was asking the for the invoice and told him I was holding off payment until my checks were done. I think he undercut himself to win the job, and then assumed he could bump the price up.

    Answer from tradesperson:

    Yes I have a reputation to keep, and I always tidy up after myself that’s part of my Job. I bring a second person with me as it’s a messy job. Since the house was built you must of patched up the Sill 3 or 4 times , I am the first person to cut the sill away all the way back to the brick and change the whole thing, sill the outside with silicone, make all the wood work good inside including all the filling , there is a little breakage on the wall but I notice there was decorating in progress. I don’t feel like I have been rewarded for this job, all the things I have been through over 2 months, and on top of that the pile of rubbish waiting for me near where I had to work? Regarding the invoice, I went to the shop to buy the material and I mentioned to you that the job will be £80 more, you said “okay” and gave you the receipt before I left the property and that was a Saturday and upon the next day (Sunday) I sent you the invoice. And 2 days later( Tuesday) I still wasn’t paid as yet. I called you to find out who is coming to check my job, you told me it was a labourer/ Tiler relative. I asked you “ why you never gave him the job”? You then said “he is not a carpenter “. Well there you go that’s the answer! You could of hired a qualified surveyor, as I have never seen a Labourer check a job before this is the first!!! , over 20 years of service I have never seen it!!
