Highlights
"Great experience all round. Michael is a good communicator and has done a brilliant job on the old chair we needed restoring. The job is so professional, the chair looks new!"
"Michael did a great job of recovering my dining chairs. They look fantastic. He got in touch quickly, completed the job in a week and at a reasonable price. He picked up the seats and dropped them back. Totally hassle free."
"Michael's work is absolutely fantastic. The cost is very reasonable and he goes above and beyond in making sure that the end result is exactly what you want. I would highly recommend him."

Smart checks
Before you hire a landscaper
Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour — a vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials' — agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated — protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
