Highlights
"Les did a really excellent job of painting our main bedroom and the woodwork of the landing, stairs and hallway. He completed the job in the time frame we requested and the results were to the highest standard. We are extremely pleased and will have no hesitation requesting more work from Les in future"
"Les called in to survey on same day that I called him, verbal price agreed. Work done and completed within a week. Would defo use again."
"Firstly, after cancelling on the agreed date, the work was carried out a week late. Secondly, a day’s work was quoted for initially, the workers were left to do the work without any supervision, with clear instructions to follow by. On our return to my mother’s property, we noticed that there was some shrubery that was missed in the front garden. This was pointed out and asked to finished as the job was already paid for. Les argued the fact that this was asked to be done (when it was) calling my family liars showing an abysmal attitude to customer care, would certainly not recommend"
