Simple Down Pipe Re-routingGuttering
Alex is friendly, approachable, reasonably priced. He did an excellent job re-routing and overhauling the tired & poorly installed guttering on my house. I will definitely hire him again (and recommend to friends) if I require help with household DIY that I do not feel comfortable doing myself again.
Thank you Alex

Garage make overConversions - General
首先£110每天,你不该得到价值£40多岁of him. Quoted 2 to 3 days, was booted out after dragging the job on until 9 days, left unfinished and bad job, not survived the winter at all, rain has leaked through everywhere, at the cost of almost 2k I expected it to last longer than 5 months, not impressed at all, got to re do the lot again summer and this time get someone in who's capable.

The handyman's reply:
Tried to contact client, but no response after numerous calls.
Just to correct feedback, advised client that shed was in a poor state and would be better to dismantle and go for a new garage.
client refused as would not go through the expence of getting rid of asbestos.
Never worked for 9 days only 7,and on each day started at 9 finished at 6.
As for only being worth £40 see my other positive feedback.
Job was not completed as client did not expect the expence of refurbing and old garage,that had to have one side completely renewed due to rot( garage was below ground level with no protection,and 2 foot of earth that had to be dug out before renewing side).
The whole garage had to be braced as it had a 4inch lean , which made the rotten doors unable to close,door were refurbished,and new glass inserted.
Main problem was asbestos roof with numerous holes ,again advised client of specific materials to seal and waterproof roof, but client wanted to go her way again.
Told client that I could not guarantee roof,client then ran out of money and stopped job ,was never booted from job.
I do not like posting comments about clients, as I always believe there are other ways to solve issues.
Will always try and solve any issue with any work carried out,as it's my reputation at stake. -
