Trevor turned up to look at the job and gave me a quote which I was happy with. He was a very friendly and approachable person whom you could ask his opinion on the work to be undertaken and get an honest response. He took 5 days to redecorate my living room from start to finish and has done a wonderful job. So much so that he is going to be decorating my hallway next week. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to do work for you.

Conversions - General- 10 Aug 2020
At First Wesley who 'project managed' seemed really great and we got on very well I thought. The project has not been an easy one with monies being delayed on my part, difficult neighbour, Co-vid and me asking lots of questions I will admit to that. However if I am paying 105k I am entitled to ask lots of questions in my opinion and should be made to feel comfortable doing so. If it is too much for them they can ask me politely to put it all in 1 email. I was not that present at the start of the project and I have been since June and they have not liked it and now I know why. These men have now walked off with £87,500 of my money and left my house in a complete state. Rubble everywhere, no roof, walls or anything and a complete mess. Since they left I have realised how poor and lazy the work is as have many other tradesmen and surveyors. They have carried out substandard work. I do not even think it will pass regs. Beer cans found and no toilet onsite so using my garden... They got aggressive and shouted at me which is also not acceptable! I understand people have their differences and may not get on but it is no way to treat someone especially not your client. They have done awful work, started many parts and not finished 1. It's all over the place. Stolen my money and run off. 5 months work and it looks as if they have only spent 2 months on it. These men have committed serious Fraud, do not use them EVER. Empty promises, substandard work and aggressive.

I've since spent 25 years working on a self employed basis for a property developer/landlord. Work entailed is refurbishing and preparing painting properties to a high standard.

Landscaping- 4 Jun 2021
The works were to remove entirely all the aggressive bamboo rhizomes/roots and growth from a small, confined rear garden area ca 4m x 2m which had encroached from a neighbour, and replace with topsoil. Branden carefully scoped the work on site, and devised a safe working plan/method to reduce/eliminate risk damage could occur to the neighbour's ageing, delicate fence asset, or to the property's sensitive garden facias/walls. The works were carried out over two days on his recommendation to eliminate the risks. Branden always communicated clearly as required with myself and the owner of the property, was price very competitive and good value for money, and Branden and his co-worker worked efficiently and carefully at this awkward job. Many thanks. SDG.
