    REPOINTING PAVING AND BRICKWORK A GREAT JOB DONE

    Posted 02 August

    I had previous work carried out by Gerald and was extremely pleased with what he had done. I therefore called him back to repoint paving, and brickwork. He carried this out in a professional manner and kept me informed throughout what he was doing. Again he went above and beyond with the task. Gerald is very polite and patient answering my questions. I had lost faith in some builders I have had, one being on Rough Traders. I wish I had looked on Checkatrade before and found Gerald. A true gentleman will certainly give him more work. I thoroughly recommend him.

    REPAIRING AND PAINTING BADLY CRACKED RENDERING ON OUTSIDE WALLS.

    Posted 10 July

    Gerald and Colin arrived at the time stated. Gerald went over what he was going to do. He removed large sections of badly cracked areas on the outside walls, repairing with lime cement. Filled in smaller cracks and scraped of huge amount of flaking paint. They went above and beyond and made a professional job with both rendering and painting. Very polite and helpful. It was no trouble to answer all my questions. No loud music or shouting or swearing , just got on with the job. So pleased I have asked them back to do other jobs. I thoroughly recommend them. Thanks guys.

    Repairs to plastering below bay windows. Removing existing plaster and replacing with new.

    Posted 03 February

    This is the second job that Gerald has done for us and like the first we can not fault his workmanship. He completed the job within the agreed timescale and left the rooms in a good shape. We will undoubtably use him again as and when we need any building work.
