I am sorry to say that Fitzroy did not come up to standard at all. We asked him to do various bits of carpentry in a week before tenants moved in. His carpentry is okay, but he is very sloppy with finishing. He painted 2 window frames & covered our floor to ceiling new blinds with paint, had them dreadfully trimmed which further ruined them, and then refused to pay for new ones. He also dislodged the back of the loo, which caused extensive water damage to the flat below & again refused to rectify the problems he has caused. We also asked for bevelled edges which he forgot about & asked for access to pipes, again which he forgot. We asked him to make some doors for the meter cupboard which he did quite well. However, as per usual, he slapped paint all over the inside of the cupboard & over the hinges which was just sloppy & negated the good outside. He did rectify this. He promised to leave the flat in immaculate condition for the arrival of the tenants, he didn't & we had to clean the flat ourselves. He was consistently late, generally had a bad attitude and never ever took responsibility for his bad work. It was always someone else's fault which somewhat beggared belief as he was the only one doing the work. With a far better attitude, far better timekeeping, far better owning up to problems,and certainly not being so slapdash about finishing the job off to a high standard, he might be worth using. As he is at the moment, he is definitely not worth hiring.
