Fired him for appalling work, no-shows and delays; see his other bad reviews. He's a middle man; does not do any work; got others to do it like a plumber, then a tiler the next day; slow work made worse when someone messed up or did not show up. Ali only shows to deliver materials or check work. Quick to reply when wanting the job. Slow/no response once job starts thinking you wont cancel. Materials I paid not returned; take every receipt and check you keep/use every item as he will even for wipes/tape

Quick to respond to advert on Rated People. Answered questions on where they were located and asked me for a video of job, which was sent. However, I needed the job to be done asap and Patrick has broken his ankle so I went with another gardening service. Patrick did call to explain what had happened and offered a discount on any other work. Very genuine worker.

Scott and his team did a fantastic job with our loft conversion. He was approachable, honest and friendly throughout. But most of all an excellent carpenter who did a first rate job with our loft and also dealt with our many requests and amendments with patience and professionalism.

I cannot recommend Grigore and his team highly enough. After a long-term tenant left my property in a terrible state, I urgently needed a builder who could work quickly and efficiently to bring the house back up to a high standard and minimize void periods. Grigore provided a fantastic quote and started the job within a day. The results were nothing short of exceptional. Even the estate agents who came to value the property were thoroughly impressed, and I’ve since received multiple offers. Thank you!!
