Jimmy has an extremely positive and cheerful manner and as he responded instantly and was available the same day I was impressed and hired him.
With hindsight I’d say he has the gift of the gab. My mistake, I should have got a few other quotes. We agreed a price but then he added in another £70 once he’d started for some unforeseen necessity he had encountered. This made it even toppier than it first appeared (which I was prepared to pay for swift completion).
He got job done very quickly, maybe an hour and a half, having said it would take “a few hours” or “the afternoon” which in my mind means at least 3hours.
For a cheap bit of guttering and such a quick job, think I was probably stung at £570, but as I didn’t bother to get other quotes I don’t know for sure.
A couple of neighbours who’ve had gutter work recently thought it was a lot too.
He’s pleasant enough, but he definitely miss sold to me how long/big the job was so I wouldn’t hire again.
