Replace fascia, soffits and gutters with new UPVC
I'd just like to start by saying that Fraser really is the mythical and extremely elusive highly skilled tradesman and you need look no further if he is quoting on your job. I have hired a lot of so called tradesmen over the last year with very mixed results and Fraser is one of the few saving graces of the building trade.
This job gathered a lot of interest but he was one of the only ones to actually come and inspect the job first, which is always a good idea in my experience. Upon arriving he promptly told me that he could do a far better job than next door. At the time I wondered if that was part of his sales pitch, but as he was a likeable chap, his quote was competitive and he had good reviews, I thought what the heck and booked him. I needn't have worried, as it does look better than next door and plenty of people in the trade have since commented on the standard of his work when visiting.
Like many others I place quite a bit of trust in these reviews when hiring, as you often have nothing else to go on. With some tradesmen, even if they are competent at what they do, they seem to cut corners and come up short on what you hoped for. I want a tradesman to work on my house to the standard that they would work on their own and that is what you get with Fraser.
