I contacted Barrow and Sons Property Care to complete a fencing job, including a gate, after another tradesman did not complete the work required. We agreed on a price for labour and materials (sent via email in a quote) and a date to begin work. I paid a £450 deposit to secure the materials as Derek requested. On the day he was supposed to start work, he told us that the price of the materials had suddenly gone up and that we would need to pay an additional £175 for the gate. I told him that was not what we had agreed and I wouldn't pay extra. He eventually agreed to do part of the job and then see what else he could do to complete it within the agreed quote. Unfortunately, Derek never showed that day. He texted me later to say that, due to a supplier shortage, he wouldn't be able to start work until the following week. He has not come to complete the job, contacted me or even supplied the materials I paid for. He also hasn't provided proof of purchase for the materials he has supposedly already bought. I am trying to get my deposit back but I've heard nothing from Derek for two weeks now.
Quick and at good price
From start to end communication was there, knew exactly what to do and our expectations which were met.
Excellent thorough work, very reasonable price
Good price, decent work, but a couple of minor difficulties. In particular, the fence at the back of the property was obstructed by an unstable dead tree. Derek built the fence around 1m away from the boundary line rather than asking us to speak to the neighbours about removing the tree.
Derek gave me a fair quote which had to be revised due to there being more extensive work than the original quotation . However , the job looks good and he will return next week to clean the balcony. I am pleased with the outcome especially as he has given me a ten year guarantee.
Job has been done today for roof repair. Came in on time to start the job. It took 2 hours to complete the job. Derek is nice and friendly guy. He gave me 10 years guarantee for his work and materials which he has done for the job. I am recommend him as good builder.
Done a great job at filing some holes in the wall where some shelves were. Painting was good in one room, in the other bedroom we had to repaint the walls as the previous colour was still showing through after 7 days.
