    Install patio doors/ fit a new floor
    David and his team replaced the living room floor and replaced a window with timber patio doors. The work is of an excellent standard and we are delighted with it. David gave good guidance and advice as the job developed. He was flexible with the job which wasnt straight forward because its an old house, and the attention to detail was what we hoped for I would recommend him and his team

    Repointing and possibly wall ties to whole house

    David and all of the tradesmen working with him were polite, efficient and tidy. Work was done to a good standard and advice was given to improve my original plans, with good attention to detail - but without adding to the cost! - including changing external paint colours to match others in the street, finding matching skirting and patching up a damaged garage felt roof. The job included fully redecorating a small room, painting external woodwork, replacing a small tiled roof and a felted canopy roof, fitting wall ties and fixing some downpipes. We were very happy and would work with this team again.

    Decorating Living Room

    The gloss work on this job was not up to the standard that I would expect from a professional painter and decorator. The job was rushed through in 2 days without the necessary prep work (minimal sanding leading to runs in the paint work and poor adhesion of the new paint) when there was no time pressure from my side. I requested Dulux paint and when the job was complete the paint that was used was Johnstones. Before the job was started I was told that when the walls had been prepared for painting (which involved filling holes where a dado rail had been removed) I would not be able to see where it had been. This is not the case. All told I could have done a better job myself and saved a big portion of the money.

    Answer from tradesperson:

    The works where completed at the time said.When finished on the Friday it was agreed that no payment would be made until they had the weekend to go through the works.They did not bring anything to our attention of the complaints above, and paid in full by way of bank transfer to the bank account.I would have thought if someone where to be unhappy with the works and having the whole weekend to look at it they would have said something and not paid for the works until put right.I would have done the whole works again if required at no extra charge but not even given the chance to put things right .I feel that the negative feedback is unfair.
