    Jim has been incredibly helpful fitting lights and other fixtures around the house. He has been able and willing to do everything we've asked of him, always approaching it with a positive attitude. Would definitely work with him again and recommend him to others.

    Fantastic price. Fantastic work.

    Posted 20 July

    Went above and beyond, Jim was paid to de-weed our driveway, I came home to it looking brand new, didn’t just de-weed it, he tidied it up, went around the edges of the house, swept everything up. Didn’t leave without making sure he did a perfect job. 100% recommend, will be using him again. Price was incredibly cheap for the value and quality of service.
