Over all Salvo has completed three separate jobs for me. He made such a good job of creating a contemporary horizontal pine fence in the front garden (we’re in a semi), that we asked him to do the same in the back, where he put up a 2m x 17m fence of the same, overlaying it on top of the existing close-board fence and all the difficulties that entailed, it took him three full days, including extending the close-board fence itself by 6 or 7 ft.
Delighted with that we then commissioned him to make a bespoke, asymmetric (each gate a different width) gate for the back of the garden measuring over 6m wide (and 2m high) - steel framed with a close-board wooden finish. I doubted it would stay up under its own weight, but have been proved completely wrong, it’s absolutely fantastic.
I don’t doubt that you can find a bit cheaper than Salvo. But he’s honest, hard-working, no nonsense and most of all has excellent personal skills. If issues arise, he fixes them, he does what he says, and communicates well. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
