    Regrouting shower
    Donovan arrived slightly early -10.20 instead of 10.30 - and did a good job for a very reasonable price. He cleared up after and left everything tidy.

    Bathroom tiling

    I couldn't fault Donovan's work ethic, he worked non-stop and offered a fair price for the work done. The tiling was done to a decent standard. Unfortunately 2 or 3 things were slightly disappointing. He wasn't very accurate about his start times e.g. he indicated he would be in at around 9:30-9:45 on day 2, but started work around 12 noon. Some lead pencil marks were left on the porcelain tiles (and then sealed) and were very difficult to remove. They only came off with a significant amount (hours) of scrubbing by me with a household bleach. Donovan also left the old tiles and bags of rubbish on the footpath outside the house which I hadn't realised - and had to sort out after he had left. Donovan can obviously do some very decent work, but clearer communication, timeframes etc would help.

    Answer from tradesperson:

    Mr Reynolds was happy for me to come back and removed the few pencil marks after I sugest he first use soap and water . I have only just now learn by reading this feedback that he took hours to remove it which sounds dramatic. These pencil marks were made after the 24 pieces of tiles were grouted and NOT seal to mark an x to drill three holes to attach back the shower fittings. I had text Mr. Reynolds,who work from home, that I have to stop by the tile shop and hardware store to pick up screws and a special diamond drill head as a result of the new shower fitings. I am surprise he forget that. I had bag all rubbish and taken downstairs to the eight rubbish chute belonging to the tenants

    kitchen tiling

    Donovan did an amazing job tiling our kitchen. He's a nice guy too and will do a good job without any fuss. He even managed to get us a discount for materials required for the job. Highly recommend.

    Retilling small area in bathroom

    I had very limited access to the property and for a short period, I was looking for someone whose main expertise was tiling and to turn up on the day without having previously seen the work in question, and get on with the job with as minimum of fuss as possible, Donovan Rochdale was the right guy, however expensive, he did a great job and gave good advice. Many thanks.

    Two Bathrooms. Floor retiling: 1.5mx1.5m

    After a little confusion over start time, Don started the job on a weekend which was great. He did an excellent job, we're really pleased with the results and would certainly hire him again. A courteous & thoughtful chap. Just the type of person you'd hope to find on mybuilder. Definitely recommended.

    Tiling bathroom

    Donovan has a laid back demeanour which belies his speedy and high quality work. His timekeeping was less than perfect, but once on the job the tiles just seemed to fly up. I'm very pleased with the quality of the finish too- from what i've seen, he's evidently a skilled tiler.

    Plaster and re-tile a shower wall

    Donovan is the only builder I have met who showed up in a taxi, wearing a smart polo shirt. :-) He got the work done within a day and did it properly. Thank you!

    Tiling kitchen walls

    Donovan was flexible and helpful on arranging the time for doing the work. The quality of the work was good and although the job took a little longer than expected, instead of rushing the work he came back the next day to finish it properly at the agreed price.
