    Painting - Study cabinet.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I couldn’t be happier with the service from Fill the Gap. My cabinet looks absolutely amazing - the attention to detail and care taken was clear from the moment they arrived. Professional, communicative, punctual, and genuinely respectful throughout the whole process. Working with such a gentleman was an absolute pleasure. It’s rare to come across someone so personable and trustworthy who also delivers such a high standard of work. A truly respectable service that I will definitely be using again and recommending to others.

    Poor Workmanship and Damage During Internal Door Installation

    The issue is poor workmanship and damage caused during the installation of three internal doors by a Salvatore found through Checkatrade. Two of the doors were installed incorrectly and carelessly. The kitchen door was damaged when the hinges and lock were fitted, and the lounge door had its hinges fitted the wrong way round, which required removal and refitting. This correction resulted in further visible damage that was only covered with filler rather than properly repaired. Due to these issues and the lack of confidence in the quality of work, the third door was not installed at all.

    flat pack

    Salvatore was punctual and extremely helpful, friendly and professional. Did a very good job on what turned out to be a very poor quality flatpack! I would certainly contact him again if I needed work to be done, and can recommend him 100%
