John was a great find; punctual, clean and a tidy worker. John went that extra mile to help us with a small problem in another room and even fixed it at no extra cost, calling it "keeping the customer happy". Can thoroughly recommend John, we will certainly use him again.

Handyman- 10 Jul 2019
Kristian telephoned and we arranged for a time for him and a partner to look at the problem. They arrived with in one hour as arranged and soon disagreed with the shop in fitting the new oven. The thickness of the side panel was not required to be reduced and they had the job completed within one hour. This saved us time and money so very pleased with the out come. I would recommend Kristian and ask him to quote if i have any further jobs in the future.

Nile at Cadogan contracts was a pleasure to deal with. I have dealt with 20+ tradesmen in the past 5 years in many trades. Nile, and his painting team (esp Maurice), were the best I have ever encountered. From start to finish, they were highly professional and competent, and gave me a competitive quote. Nile's service included a PDF contract outlining clearly what was involved in the job. Maurice, who did the painting, came early in the morning and even on the weekend to finish the job to a tight deadline. He was extremely polite and courteous, meticulous in his work, and constantly asking for my feedback. He asserted many times that I, as the customer, should have the final say on whether the job has been done satisfactorily. Maurice did all the right things to prep the room: painting sheets, masking tape everywhere, removing/covering sockets, prepping surfaces, filling gaps, preserving character. He was extremely tidy and hoovered after himself. I would recommend Cadogan Contracts without hestiation. They were superb and I WILL be using them again in the future if I need work

Painting & Decorating- 13 Sep 2021
Sergio came over and everything was fine. We were flexible on when he could start. Took about 3 weeks to get a quote on just labour as we had agreed that we would buy the paint. We got the quote on Sunday and agreed he'd start work Tuesday at 9am. On Tuesday he messaged to say he couldn't start at 9 and would be with us for 2. Arrived just before 3 and left dead on 6. Didn't arrive Wednesday, I messaged to see if he was OK as he was having problems with a friend. Said he'd be over Thursday. Didn't turn up Thursday and didn't tell me he wasn't coming until prompted which was about 3pm. Said he'd be over Friday and we agreed that he was just going to do my wardrobes. Didn't come at 9 so by 11 we decided to do the whole room ourselves. Turned up at 3 with his kit. Partner sacked him and Sergio was laughing in his face. Sergio had left in my bedroom a pair of socks, shorts and top in my room from Tuesday-Friday. Asked me for a bucket to mix his white wash and didn't even have his own mixing stick for the paint just used a piece of my scurting that was lying around. The room took me and my partner 18 hours. He quoted for one person, 18 hours. Not impressed at all. Communication was poor and we haven't paid him for the 3 hours.
