    Rebuild Stone Wall
    I used Hopkinsdesignandbuild to re-build a stone wall which had collapsed due to high winds uprooting a tree falling onto the wall. The work was delayed due to the constant rain but once building started the job was completed within a reasonable space of time. The appearance of the finished wall was excellent, blending in well with the original wall. John replied to all emails very promptly and kept me informed of all progress including a photograph of the completed work. No hesitation recommending for building work.

    Garden wall/path
    Gave John an itemized list of faults in the work and he didn't even have the decency to reply to me. He was only concerned with being paid.

    Answer from tradesperson:

    Mrs Ann Blythe was a totally unreasonable customer, I was expected to turn in on rainy days for 3hrs or i would receive demanding, pressurising sms messages There were no faults with the job The work was to a high standard, standard construction methods were used It took over a month to be paid - with no good reason The customer refused to accept that alterations and added on jobs needed to be paid for Totally unreasonable customer and i am out of pocket on this job as she refused to pay extra costs for all her alterations, added on jobs, and travel time too and from merchants, the customer basically decide how much my invoice would be regardless of its actual value I can show pictures of the job on request.

    Repair a retaining wall 12' long and 4' high
    This wasn't a particularly nice job. It necessitatated sorting through stone blocks and lifting them upto head hight to repair an old stone retaining wall. The old wall was dry stone and the job got bigger as additional loose stones had to be removed before John could establish a sound base to work from. John worked cheerfully and clearly took a pride in his work, suggesting improvements to achieve a better result. In addition to the stonework John reinstated a post and panel fence. I am very happy with the job and would use him again. Overall a good experience and the sort of person anyone could feel happy inviting into their home.
