10 A man who can
Posted 06 February
Job location: OX13I’ve called on Carl for various tasks including fixing a door, replacing shower cartridges, redoing a razor point, fitting a new shower enclosure and replacing my smoke alarms with a linked system. In every case he’s kept me informed of his availability and done exactly what was agreed. The work has been carried out to a high standard in all cases. There aren’t many people who can tackle such a variety of jobs, and I’d strongly recommend him. - AAlison S

This was a tricky fix trying to seal up a badly put in glass roof over a dining area. Carl and Tony thought long and hard and came up with a plan for outside sealing and insulation inside all neatly boxed in with wood. I’ve just finished painting it today and it looks so much better with no draught coming in anywhere. They worked to their time schedule despite the pouring rain and cleaned up well at the end. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: OX1 10 Excellent work
