    Aluminium pergola erection

    Excellent all round - great communication with Kellie from start to finish. All staff friendly, polite and efficient. Garfield came up with inventive options when the position we'd chosen for the pergola meant we wouldn't have been able to open our patio doors! They arrived on time, worked efficiently, completed the job and left everywhere tidy. We have no hesitation in recommending them.

    ceiling and wall , floor

    He did a bad job, he laid the flooring but it was no good, the flooring is poorly installed.They asked for the ceiling and walls to be smooth, but they didn't do it; they broke part of the kitchen.He broke two brooms and didn't even apologize.The floor was practically destroyed; in one part, the floor was sinking. They applied silicone to hold it together.He says one thing and then another; the painting isn't 90% good.You say one thing upfront and then say another later.Be careful with your money. I wouldn't hire him even if he were my last job.On the plus side, they pay attention.

    Response from G Mckenzie Maintenance

    We advised several times that the LVT flooring should be installed only after plumbing was completed and without underlay, as underlay can cause movement and damage locking clips. Despite this, we were asked to proceed. The flooring was later lifted for plumbing works, causing damage to the fragile locking system, and we returned to relay it. We installed only the flooring, not the subfloor or joists. Walls and ceilings were prepared and painted within the agreed scope; replastering was not included. We also completed additional flooring work free of charge as a goodwill gesture.

    Excellent service — would highly recommend!

    From the first contact, Garfield and the team were professional, communicative, and genuinely helpful in working through the best solution to fill the gaps in my loft and stop rodents getting in. While other companies turned the work away, they were more than accommodating and took the time to properly assess and address the problem. Thorough, reliable, and a pleasure to deal with. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
