    Install Metal Garden Back Door

    Good emergency work to fix the gate that our landscaper couldn't fit.

    Resize and Paint Wooden Gate

    Brian and his colleague did a great job renovating the gate to my front garden. They found some signs of rot and replaced several struts before sanding, undercoating and painting. They realigned the gate so it no longer catches on the tiles. I am very happy with the result. Thanks.

    Mend Broken Sash Window Cord

    Works done well but expensive (2 men for 2 hours)

    Brian Bolger
    We arrived on time and left (without charge) as you forgot to tell us about the secondary glazed windows inside the sash you required to be fixed. You told us that you would have Anglian Windows return to remove the secondary glazing at a cost to you of £hundreds. We suggested an alternative means of repairs (from the outside) saving you the costs of Anglian Windows. You accepted this as a ‘fixed price contract’ NOT an hourly rate. Once completed to your absolute satisfaction, you then requested a further discount of £20 which was adhered to. You need to rethink your approach to giving valid referrals and appreciate quality tradesmen and their saving you funds in future. We now understand the word ‘TROLL’
