    Fix hole in the wall!
    Andrew did a really great job on fixing the hole in my wall, and then paining the wall over. He was very organized and cleaned after himself. Also, he kept me informed of what he was going to do and was always punctual. I would definitely hire him for other jobs.

    bathroom removal and installation
    Andrzej did do a very good job in replacing my bathroom. Plastering and tiling are of a good standard and he managed to hide the waste pipe, which used to be clearly visible, under the floor.

    Plastering

    Plastering (sub-contracted)was done to a reasonable standard, but Andrew got shirty with me for accepting the job on Mybuilder.com because he had to pay their fees and therefore he didn't make any profit. Not my problem Andrew - you got it wrong. When he fitted the kitchen worktop he cut the worktop the right way up so the edges are all chipped (surely any tradesman knows to cut laminate upside down?). Fitted new front door frame and door with locks and furniture - this is where it all went wrong. Spent 3 hours fitting lock. He had to reposition the lock because he snapped a drill bit inside the door and had to fill the gap with wood filler. Looks like a right bodge job. Cut one of the latch pull screws inside the lock to the wrong size (too small) so the latch pull was loose and not secure but he didn't tell me that he had done this. When fitting the door frame he drilled all the way through the wall and damaged the wall and original Victorian picture rail in the living room. Quickly filled the damaged areas with filler and buggered off leaving me to make it good again. Next time, use a drill stop and not a foot long drill bit! Best of all the lock didn't even work and I found myself stuck outside my house. I then spent my Saturday putting right all the jobs that had been bodged. He now claims that he's away for a couple of weeks, hmmm? Not a complete disaster but it wasn't far off. I could have got the same results doing it myself. Paid him is not considerable fee and hope to never see him again. Best avoided in my opinion.

    Answer from tradesperson:

    small bathroom job {plumbing,electrics,building,tiling}

    Andrew undertook a complete bathroom re-fit together with stripping, painting and various other building tasks. I rate him highly. He understands and completes work to a high standard, competitive prices, punctual, cleans up, honest and reliable. I recommend him and will try and use his services again when required.
