    Building repair work

    Simon repaired some water damaged wooden walls in our accommodation blocks at Frylands Wood Scout Outdoor Centre. As a Charity run site, it is important to spend our money wisely & I would HIGHLY recommend using Simon to get great value for money. He carefully assessed a difficult job, discussed potential option & then gave a detailed break down of the costs His communication, quality of workmanship, tidiness & cost effectiveness were brilliant & very much appreciated. Again, would highly recommend...

    Good local handyman

    Simon understood the assignment from the start when building an under stairs cupboard for me. He got on with the job with no hassle, cleaned up nicely and no hidden costs. Will definitely use for future jobs.

    Painting the ceiling and above picture rail, applying damp seal, filled in cracks, sanding down, etc

    He did an excellent job. The walls look smooth and very well painted. He was friendly, helpful man. He did the work on his birthday just to fit us in. A very dedicated, accomplished professional.

    Decorating

    Excellent communication, both by email and WhatsApp, with arrival times each day etc. Excellent customer service - from coming to do the first quote to finishing the job, he is professional, kind and puts you at ease in terms of only doing the work you require (he won’t try and flog you extra work you don’t need, if anything the opposite!). Excellent reliability - he was here every morning when he said he’d be and finished the job in good time, not compromising on the quality of his work, which was also excellent. He charges by the job not the hour. I would have him back in a heartbeat!

    Transparent and easy to work with

    Really happy with the work done redecorating my hallway after a water escape. Simon was friendly, gave great advice on options with clear pros and cons, and kept me updated throughout. Transparent and easy to work with – highly recommend!
