Craig got in touch quickly, gave me a rough estimate over the phone and answered all my questions. Surveyor arrived on time, gave instant quote. Price was good. Michael and (another) Craig turned up to do the job on the day, time given. Good, tidy job. Can't fault anything, from start to finish!! Would recommend!

George and his team are experienced builders, replaced my front door with a custom frame/sidelights and raising the floor level in the hallway quite quickly - in fact, they were the only who came next day, gave a quote straightaway and were ready to start in just couple of days. They also had all the necessary tools and materials, were ready to buy something additional quickly on the day - if further adjustments were required to fit everything as I asked. Thanks a lot for your help, guys!
Dmitry
Highly recommend. These guys did a fantastic job of constructing our pergola and decking. Very hardworking and reliable. The job was completed in the time frame agreed and to a very high standard. We would 100% use them again.

Carl and the team undertook a full landscape, fencing and decking project. It wasn't a small task, with hidden tree stumps, heavily overgrown garden and uneven levels. The team were brilliant and had the whole garden fully landscaped, including a new fence, roll on lawn, deck and a few other additional tasks completed within a week. Team turned up on time every day and worked solidly to get the job finished within the quoted timeframe. Would strongly recommend Root2Roof for the works they completed.

This job became a full house renovation project including 3 bathrooms, heating upgrade, electrics, painting, joinery work etc. Any issues were quickly resolved and everything was done to an exceptional standard. I can’t recommend Aaron and the team at Luxury Spaces highly enough
Colin from cbroofing.wee have now been with Rated People over 9years and had no returns to jobs so this gives you the knowledge that cbroofing no the roofing industry pretty well so give us a call anytime established 1980. Dad's business is still running by my brother in law. But cbroofing are happy with Rated People platform. So give us a call anytime. Reviews is the key ????
Colin of CB Roofing carried out a really excellent repair on my roof as water was coming through the bedroom ceiling. He took before and after photographs so that I could see the extent of the damp patch under the felt before the repair. He is very hard working and knowledgeable and he turned up on time and quoted me a very competitive price for the repair. I would be very happy to recommend Colin to anyone needing an experienced and reliable roofer

i founded external walls ltd using my background in the trade to provide a cost effective reliable service. with over 40yrs experience in the building and painting and decorating industries i have extensive product knowledge to help you with your project
Reliability? Communication? Completion of work in a timely manner? Quality of work? Customer Service? Cleanliness and respect for property? The job is done (in a fashion), but I am not convinced it will last or that the guarantee (which I apparently have) is worth anything. Unfortunately I could not recommend. I should not feel like I need to have a strong male physically present to deal with a tradesman (IYKYK). I will attach photos of evidence if I can, so you can see for yourself.
hi,im a qualified painter and decorator. I have work for various company's, council, painters contractors, building sites. I have many years experience in painting,wallpapering,and D.I.Y, work to. I guarantee all my work,im am reliable and easy to work with. communication is important to achieve the right work customer's want. I will do a good job,or your money back ! , thanks,GARY .
Have just had Gary to stain a very large exterior retaining wall, which another tradesman had abandoned after doing a very poor job. I can't praise Gary highly enough for the great job he did.. He was communicative and punctual and gave me a great quote for the work, for which he went the extra mile to make sure I was happy with the work. He is a lovely chatty and friendly guy and I would most certainly employ him again and I recommend him to anyone who needs an experienced and quality decorator.

Ian came round to take a look at a damp patch that had started showing up on one of the utility room walls. He turned up on time, was really friendly, and clearly knew what he was talking about. He gave everything a proper check over and explained what was likely going on in a way that actually made sense. He didn’t try to make a mountain out of a molehill or push for any unnecessary work—just gave honest, practical advice on what to do next. Really appreciated how straightforward and helpful he was.
