    Garden / House Clearance

    Posted 2 days ago

    The 2 crew for this job worked incredibly hard on a neglected garden and removed all the garden waste on a very hot day. They were sure to confirm with me the specifics of the job and kept me well informed along the way. They were very professional, very fast, very efficient and very friendly.##Highly recommended.

    Martin visited quickly and gave me a good price, and the following day 2 guys came to clear everything. They worked well and tidied up afterwards. I was very pleased with the service.

    Remove soil & Prep for laying broken slate

    Posted 11 June

    Work agreed was to remove soil from forecourt, lay membrane, lay Type 1, use wacker plate to compact and lay broken slate. Place a concrete edging stone between small area of concrete and broken slate. Didn’t use a wacker plate, instead a hand held punner, didn’t place a concrete edging stone until I told him, so he had to come back next day. Didn’t have any plasticiser for cement work so asked me for fairy liquid. Made no attempt to clean up pathway or front door (some mess unavoidable naturally). What could have been done in one & a half days was spread over three. End result mediocre.

    Excellent Job

    Posted 05 June

    I originally received a flyer through the door and contacted Martin for a quote, which I accepted. During the work, an unforeseen complication arose regarding the amount of rubble that needed removing. At the time of the original quote, much of it was hidden under a bench and wasn't visible. Martin discussed this with me, and we renegotiated the price, which I felt was very fair given the additional work involved. I was very happy with the work carried out. Martin and his team were professional, hardworking, and friendly throughout the project. Communication was good, and Martin was always a

    A pleasure to work with

    Posted 05 June

    We wanted a wooden raised bed built along the side of our garage and Martin was quick to respond and offer helpful advice on how best to do it. The quote was reasonable and a week later he and his 'A' team completed the work in a day. The lads were lovely and worked quickly with good attention to detail. A change in plan to raise the bed higher than originally planned was no problem for them. It is refreshing to find that there are still companies out there that you can rely on. I highly recommend them.
