Handyman- 16 Apr 2024
Totally unreliable, very unprofessional, my own fault read the reviews but thought I’d give him a chance. Colin said he going to come a few times but didn’t come or even let me know he wasn’t, didn’t respond to calls or messages. Very frustrated as I have to find someone else now. Avoid please he shouldn’t be on this website.

Painting & Decorating- 20 Nov 2023
I didn't use him in the end. On his first day of attending the job he hadn't shown up. I rang him and going by his phone response I think I woke him up, he said he was going to go and buy frog tape etc and would be here around 12. I then asked why he didn't buy all this over the weekend he just wasn't answering so I told him not to bother.

Dafydd and his team have fitted a new welsh slate roof on part of our farmhouse, built a rear retaining wall, fitted surface water drainage to the rear of the building and rendered one of the two gable end walls in lime mortar. The jobs have been carried out to a very good standard and the workmen have been excellent in both carrying out the work and looking after the property whilst working there. They still have one gable wall to complete but due to weather conditions and the use of lime mortar this will be down when the weather improves. Whenever I have discussed any part of the work they have been quick to react positively. Overall really satisfied with the work and will be hiring them to fit new concrete floors inside the house and Dafydd has already organised a visit from a heating engineer to give a quote on central heating. One final point, the financial cost of the work completed has come in just as the initial quote stated which was very welcoming given scare stories you hear of every increasing bills. No such problem on this job and overall very pleased with Dafydd Lloyd's work. In my experience there a good friendly professional firm to hire.

Adam eventually took on more work than renovating our fire escape staircase. Consequently, this became protracted. He was extremely courteous and helpful, particularly when we had to ask for works to be finished to our satisfaction. We will definately ask him to quote for future jobs.

Painting & Decorating- 5 Oct 2018
Sean seemed super motivated and engaged when he came around to see the job, sharing with us that 2 people would be coming around the following week. A few days later, we received a message saying there will only be one to come around on Friday which was ok. On Thursday we were notified that the person would not be able to come around and he could now do Monday. (We stayed at home on Friday due to our agreement). When we asked if Monday was going ahead, Sean wrote that there won't be anyone able to do the job now at all as they are engaged in other projects. That's really disappointing customer service and leaves us with a job undone.

Bathroom Fitting- 5 Aug 2023
Took way too long with poor excuses for not finishing on time. Left no spare tiles and since one on floor has cracked. Cut corners on piping in my loft resulting in my hallway being flooded and costing to be re plastered and re decorated in hall. All because of lazy plumbing in loft. Don’t think he even trades as a builder any more thank goodness. Or this could happen to somebody else. AVOID

Left the job unfinished after many days of chasing to complete. Quality dependent on individual tradesman. Initially good quality but other workmen poor. In the end I had to throw them offsite.

No attention to detail work. Sometimes the little things matter. Had to touch up some paintwork myself, also fill in holes had left. Okay job and did what I asked but a finer eye on details would have made the room perfect.
