“Marcin did a great job repairing a door frame, filling cracks in plaster and painting several areas in our kitchen and hallway. He was very knowledgeable, polite and professional throughout the work. I would be happy to recommend him.”

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

“Overall a good job. Honoured the original quote despite job taking longer than originally expected.”
Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for Martin Spek, including the highlights above. The 213 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
The painting was done quickly and to a good standard (though final checking was not 100%). Marcin seemed expensive (eg £300 for a 9cm wide bay windowsill) and communication wasn’t easy. His quote was brief and imprecise and getting clarification of exactly what was included took time and effort. Once work started he asked for a £1000 payment on account. He also asked for an additional payment because he said there was more rotten wood to replace than he’d expected. His final invoice required payment on the date of issue, 2 days later he chased payment and 5 days later threatened legal action.
