    Repair and Replace Wooden Sash Windows

    Caveat emptor. Should have asked for a proper written quote, to avoid disagreement afterwards regarding the scope of the works.

    Whilst I expect fair reviews, this one most certainly is not and unfortunately I’ve had to report this as it seems an attempt to blacken the great name of my business. The facts are quite simple. - I visited the property, gave a competitive quote in detailed works which were accepted and soon after completed. So happy with the results that this customer - paid infill - had additional works completed M point being, had there been anything that wasn’t carried out in accordance with the agreement, then neither would the context sum have been paid nor the customer have gone on (immediately after) and had us carry out extra works which were also paid for in full. I am very concerned about the motives of this individual. Report has been filed.
    Repair garage door

    Brian and his colleague responded quickly and came well on time. They took two hours to properly repair the garage door. They were friendly, polite and respectful. Job was well done.

    Repair Broken Door Frame Fitting

    Brian did a good job but he left the rooms full with dust. He had a vacuum which he didn't use I am not sure what happened. All my clothes and beddings had to be rewashed.

    Subject: Request for Clarification Hi Eva, I’ve taken the time to review my SMS, WhatsApp messages, and emails, and I can’t find any evidence of a complaint from you. While you mentioned my use of a vacuum cleaner, I intended to use it to ensure a clean environment, which seems inconsistent with the claim that I didn’t use it properly. I'm perplexed by this reference, as it doesn’t align with the numerous positive remarks about the cleanliness and tidiness of my work. It raises concerns that a complaint was not communicated to me directly, yet a negative post was shared instead. If you had concerns regarding the work area, wouldn’t it have been wise to cover clothing and bedding yourself? I want to take a moment to point out that I installed the mirror for you at no additional charge, which truly reflects my dedication to providing quality service. The omission of this detail in your post raises concerns, suggesting either an oversight or a possible agenda that doesn't acknowledge the full scope of our work together. Best, Brian
    Build Kitchen Banquette Seat with Storage

    Very quickly provided a quote, and was able to undertake the job just a few days later. Communication was great throughout, and they were very flexible on any changes to ensure we got the final product we wanted. Brian and Jason built a custom banquette seat in our kitchen. Very pleased with the final product.

    Fit bespoke under staircase storage

    Asked to put in some challenging stair cupboards due to the weird angle of my stairs. Efficient, tidy and personable. The price was better than other quotes as well. Couldn't have asked for more.
