Reviews of BS Carpentry & Maintenance

Prompt, friendly, tidy, communicative, precise, affordable. Obviously cares about his craft and your home, rare these days. He's a keeper.

I am very pleased with the service provided, Bob was prompt, he worked quietly and tidily and his work is very good value for money.

I would happily recommend him to others.

Bob was recommended to me as I had a number of remedial works required on my rental property following a Fire door inspection. As I do not live locally, all communication was via email.

Bob carried out an initial inspection and listed all the works required along with an estimate. Bob kept me regulary updated with progress which included having to look at an alternative door closure as there was not enough clearence to fit a standard one. An altenative was successfully sourced and installed. Upon completion, Bob supplied photos and a video as evidence of the work undertaken.  

I have been very impressed with the service I received and would recommend Bob to anyone. A well deserved 10/10.

Another very happy customer. Thank you!

Efficient and capable.

I called Safe Local Trades this afternoon as I needed a broken side gate removed as it was no longer needed. As it was hanging off the hinges, when it is windy it would move around and bang against the wall. 

Bob Manku was recommended to me so I gave him a call. He was in the area and attended very quickly and had the gate removed in no time and he refused to charge me.

He is such a lovely friendly man, very kind and considerate. 

My husband was excellent at DIY but, since his death, I was anxious to try and find someone trustworthy to do jobs for me - I am so grateful that I have now found Bob and have also found Safe Local Trades. I feel as though my prayers have been answered.

Thank you so much - what a fantastic service you offer.

Would highly recommend Bob and give an 11/10 score if possible. He arrived on time, got the job done with no fuss and charged the price he quoted. 

Very happy customer.

Bob responded very promptly to my enquiry and within 24 hours, the job was completed to my satisfaction.

A closeable vent cover was fitted which has stopped the draught but will allow it to be opened in the summer to let some fresh air in.

Bob did a very efficient and tidy job and wiped all the area down afterwards.

We discussed a few more jobs that I needed to be done - one involved concrete so he will come back in the new year to carry them out.

I am very happy to recommend Bob to anyone and thank you Safe Local Trades for finding him for me.

We really cannot give enough praise for the way Bob carried out this job. He's polite, punctual, reliable, meticulous and efficient. He obviously takes great pride in his work and we were delighted with the results. The cost was more than reasonable too.

Bob is a lovely bloke and we would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone. 

Bob is a fantastic guy. We had some very nasty creaking floorboards in the upstairs landing leading to bedrooms and bathroom. He arrived on time and took up the carpet and noticed when the previous owner had the hot water tank removed from the airing cupboard, they took away the pipes but didn't screw down the floorboards before replacing them and the carpet. He took up the carpet, and the creaking floorboards, and screwed them back into position, put the carpet down and voila, no more creaking floor any more!

What a fantastic job he did, and his charge was very reasonable too. Would definitely use again.

What a lovely man. Came on time, did an excellent job and was a pleasure to have in the house.  Would recommend, 5 star service.
