  Brickwork in the Garden

  Posted 4 days ago

  Great workmanship, reliable, excellent comms

  Martin repaired a garden brick wall and also did some lime mortar repointing on the house. The standard of workmanship was excellent, he worked quickly and efficiently, kept the site tidy and cleared up really well at the end. Martin was just right for this sort of work and I wouldn't hesitate to ask him back to do more work. He was reliable, the price was fair for the work, he turned up on time every day and he was proactive in suggesting things and seeking to do the highest quality job. Highly recommended.

  Excellent work on wall reinstatement, very pleased with the result.

  Martin re-instated a wall for us which had been badly damaged by an oil tanker. He did an extremely good job and ensured that the new piece of wall matched the remaining piece of the original wall such that you really can't see the join. He maintained the rustic style very well. He worked in some very poor weather but still did a great job and was really clean and tidy. We were very pleased with the result and would definitely have him back if we had any further work required.

  Sleepers

  Posted 31 March

  Expert rectification of someone else's poor work

  We'd employed another Landscaper - not on Check a Trade - to replace the sleepers in our garden. Unfortunately the other contractor did a very poor job, so we came to Check a Trade and found Martin Holmes. I explained the situation to Martin, he visited our garden and suggested the best, and most cost effective, way to rectify the situation. Martin provided a very reasonable quote, turned up when he said he would, with good materials and completed the work in less than a day. He left our garden neat, clean and tidy, even stacking the leftover wood that my wife requested we keep. Excellent job.

  Grounds Maintenance

  Posted 26 March

  Construction of a French drain.

  I contacted Martin as he has produced work to a very high standard for me previously. Due to penetrating damp I required the construction of a French drain along an exterior wall to rectify the issue. Martin arrived promptly over two days, the work was carried out as planned and the area left in good order. Martin was both professional and friendly in his manner. I would definitely recommend him.
