    Improve ventilation in loft space URGENT
    The new vents in our loft space look great and very discreet. David kept us updated with when the work would take place as it was delayed because of the snow. He also checked the rest of the roof for us whilst up there and showed us photos explaining what we were looking at. He was also very knowledgeable and answered all our questions on why our loft had condensation and how to prevent it. Whilst on the roof we asked him to do other bits and pieces which he carried out at an agreed cost there and then

    Replace a few missing tiles on roof

    David gave a great advice when looking at the job and certainly knows his trade. Slight confusion over roof tiles but he put it right straight away. Very efficient service. Many thanks.

    Exterior work including roof work

    I am unhappy to report that David Finney has left me with a still leaking skylight and a new roof that needs completely replacing. Mr Finney left the old felt roof on and covered it improperly with a single layer of mineral felt which was not torched properly, nor were the edges properly dripped. I had to call him round (or his workmate) a number of times to stem the leak in the skylight. The first time was just torrential. The skylight he used was also incorrect (cheap velux) rather than dome. Beware.

    Asphalt on rear external stairs required

    Unsure over the amount agreed with landlord of above flat, however , has not worked in the slightest, althoughut came with a " gaurantee " the problem is as bad as ever. I have tried to rectify this with the builder however the builder does appear to want to help resolve the issue after numerous attempts to make contact.

    Answer from tradesperson:

    The work was carried out as instructed,, cementing over back stairs,I was called back to more water ingress I explained that the water ingress was not due to the steps but the roof the water was coming down the cavity in the wall the flat roof needed replaced this was explained.I carried out works over and above asked at no extra cost and feel it unjust.This feedback was not even left by the person who asked me to carry out the works and as they said they did not even know the extent to the works that had been agreed.All works that hold guarantees are dealt with if there becomes a problem due to failure of our product.

    Plaster hole in wall in lounge 1ft square and other

    FANTASTIC JOB, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!- I reached out to David/DBF as I recently had an upstairs water leak which damaged lower ceilings and walls which needed rectifying. I haven't used this contact site before but David's credentials looked good and I was not disappointed, he got back to me promptly and I got an estimate for work the next day by a member of his team (Paul), plus actual start of work after another day! Superb Quality, efficiency and workmanship, many thanks guys and I will certainly contact you for any decorative/plastering work in the future!

    Install bath/shower room in loft conversion

    This job was completed while I was away on holiday safe in the knowledge that I could trust David and his team with my house keys. This was a tricky job as they were working in a confined space in all extremes of weather - a special thanks to Yogin for his patience. I now have the en-suite shower room in my loft bedroom and all work is first class. David is very approachable and quick to offer solutions when things don't go to plan. He also makes sensible suggestions as the job progresses and in my case I now have extra loft insulation for very little outlay. A first rate job by an excellent team - many thanks
