Derek has been simply amazing and has helped us so much with getting our house together after moving in. He can turn his hand to just about anything and the results have been fantastic. I can’t recommend him highly enough. If you are looking for a decorator and/or handyman with a ‘can do’ attitude, who is polite and trustworthy and above all great at what he does look no further than Derek.

I recently asked for a quotation on Check a Trade and Derek responded promptly to fit a mirror and install shelves in my home, and I couldn't be happier with the results. He was efficient and always arrived on time, which I really appreciated. Their clean working style left my space tidy, and they were friendly and approachable throughout the process. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of home repairs or installations.

I needed my old 110ft long stone wall taken down and replaced with fences. Derek came over and provided a quote which was very competitive. Despite the bad weather Derek worked flat out and did the whole job on his own. Initially I was surprised that it was only him but after seeing what he accomplished in 1 day my concern disappeared, he's a very hard worker. He was polite, tidy and professional throughout. I've attached some photos before and after to show the high level of quality he provides. We're already looking at the next job for Derek and I would recommend him to anyone.

A very pleasant and hard worker. The work was done professionally and on time he is definitely coming back to do more work. Well pleased.

Derek has done several jobs for me over many years now. He has just installed my new bathroom and has made a really fantastic job of it. His work is always to a very high standard. He has a multitude of skills and whenever I need anything fixing in my house or garden he is always the first person I contact. He is always punctual, and can turn his hand to anything and will never let anyone down. He is completely reliable and trustworthy and I can thoroughly recommend him.

Clear communication throughout; really high standard of work completed. Clear quote and itemised bill. We are already planning to use Derek again .
