handy devils reviews (96)

A husband and wife team. Totally reliable and nothing too much trouble. They work well together and do a thoroughly professional job. I shall be sorry when I run out of things for them to do! You will not be sorry if you hire this pair.

Unfortunately we made the mistake of hiring Mick and Vicky to decorate our house, it was a big mistake that i would recommend nobody else make. They left at different times each day when they thought they were ahead of where they had planned to be but then during the second week, when they realised how far behind they were, the job suffered drastically. When painitng they used dust sheets scattered around where they weren't painting, so now we are left with paint everywhere. There is paint on our oak doors, on our beams, on our York stone floor, on our black slate kitchen floor, on the granite surfaces, paint on our silk White Company throw.... Because of the quality of their work and the mounting cost of repairing the damage they had caused we cancelled parts of the job. Even after I had done this they were late finishing. Due to this they then dripped paint on freshly sanded and oiled floors and walked paint on their shoes about the house. After this experience, when they came to leave, we handed over the money Mick requested, this turned out to be over £100 more than the quote had been when i checked. When given the opportunity to come back and tidy up the mess they had left and return the money I was told not to threaten them as they were recording the call?! All in all a dreadful experience, we would not recommend anyone to have them decorate their property. They are probably the cheapest quote you'll get and there is a reason why.

Mick and Vicky are a lovely couple. They were on time for the estimate visit and during the work. As the weather delayed another job they were able to start our work earlier than expected and really worked hard to do a good job. We asked them to do additional work to make the carpet fitters job easier and they fitted this in within the planned work time. They are friendly while they are working but do not waste time with idle chatter. I would reccommend them to anyone.

Mick and vicky worked their socks off to get our entire house decorated in just 2 weeks. Anything I pointed out was fixed and they even popped back after they had completed the work to sort out some extra jobs for me. Very approachable, hard workers and good value for money.

Delighted with the work done by Mick and Vicky complete decoration of our new home. Very tidy workers, cleaned up after the job was complete and very thoughtfully left card and flowers to welcome us to our new home. Would highly recommend them for any decorating job, a lovely couple who did a fantastic job.

Mick and Vicky came to paint our hallway - it was a big job - three floors, walls, skirtings, ceilings and bannisters. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They worked really hard, left the house spotless everyday, always checked to see if we were happy with the work, and finished the project to a really high standard. They even painted extra areas just to ensure it all looked nice and bright. My husband and I were both really impressed and would definitely have them back again if we need any other work done.

We hired Mick & Vicky to wallpaper two double bedrooms, hall landing & stairs, living room, & dining room. We are very pleased with the finished work. We found them a very trustworthy couple, as they were given a set of keys to our property untill the work was completed as we weren't living there at the time. They were also very punctual on the days & times that they viewed & completed the work. They contacted us every evening on the days we hadn't seen them to make sure we were 100% happy with their work that they had done that day. We would have no hesitation in hiring Mick & Vicky again. Thank you again & sorry for the time it's taken for me to leave this feedback.

Mick and Vicky did an excellent job for us at a very reasonable price. They were completely reliable, always arriving exactly when they said they would, and were hard working and conscientious. They are a very personable couple you go out of their way to ensure they deliver a service that you are happy with. We will definitely use Mick and Vicky again for any decorating work we have.

Mick and Vicky did a great job for us. We were very impressed with the speed that they completed the work - particularly as they had to start a day late due to a mix up at our end. They are hard working and very concientious. They suggested doing things that we hadn't even thought (for example painting the banisters gloss white from the brown to lighten the staircase) but did not add anything to the quote for this. They were keen to make sure we were 100 percent happy with the job and we were. We will use them again and happily recommend them. Thanks Mick and Vicky.

Very happy with the paintwork done by this husband and wife team. They were professional, followed the job spec to the letter with a high degree of accuracy. They also made some very sensible suggestions for alternative approaches and ways to improve the cost effectiveness of the project. They were also friendly, trustworthy and people you would feel happy to have in your home unsupervised. Would definitely use again.
