Review of recommended kitchen installation in Werrington, Peterborough

Review Date:
20th November 2017

Summary:

Kitchen installation - remove old kitchen then install new Howdens kitchen units and appliances plus tiling and decorating.

Comments:

Dave did an excellent job, he started on schedule and the kitchen was completely installed and flooring laid by the second weekend, the decorating was then finished after a two week gap due to holiday. Very pleased with the work carried out to a very high standard. He always cleaned up at the end of each day too!

Will definitely be using Dave again.

Review of recommended local kitchen fitter

Review Date:
1st August 2017

Summary:

House Redecoration comprising of: 

  • Carpentry
  • Plumbing
  • New kitchen
  • New bathroom fitted
  • Painting and decorating

Comments:

Dave has been working on our property for 5 years and has crried out extensive and varied work so, as you can imagine, if he wasn't very good we certainly wouldn't still be using him!

He is a very good all rounder and his standard of work and decorating is done to a high standard so it lasts. 

Over the years I've kept my hand in at gaining other quotes just to see if Dave is still competitive and he is; it's not always about price though, it's about trust. I can whole-heartedly say Dave is such a good bloke to have in your home, he is very trustworthy and I have recommended him many times over the years to family, friends and neighbours.

Review of recommended kitchen fitters in Peterborough

Summary:

Over the last 20 years Dave has carried out several projects for me in my properties including:-

  • Two kitchen refurbishments from start to finish
  • A new bathroom
  • Painting and decorating
  • New gutter and down pipes
  • And lots of other bits and bobs

Comments:

Dave is a super guy, he is a good laugh and always ensures you are completely happy with his work.

He has high standards of his workmanship and nothing is too much trouble. He happily gives his opinion of how he feels your home improvements should be, and he is really knowledgable about so many different trades. I always feel completely confident in using him, and he is always tidying up after himself, infact I would joke that he gets the hoover out more than I do! 

He is just brilliant, if anyone needs anything doing, Dave's your man!

Review of recommended local bathroom fitters in Peterborough

Review Date:
1st June 2017

Summary:

Complete reburbishment of bathroom which included removal of the old corner bath, toilet and basin, construction of an airing cupboard in the bathroom, added a new towel rail and new shower and basin with new floor to ceiling tiling and altered the ceiling from artex to smooth.

Comments:

Dave was so good with the advice he gave about what would be the best use of the space in the bathroom. He was very thorough and helped me choose a shower door as I have an issue with being around metal due to a back problem; Dave was very understanding of this and also advised on a non slip shower tray.

There were issues when the old tiles were taken away as the wall started to crumble, so the wall had to be plastered over again; Dave didn't make any fuss of this, he just did what was required.

We had another quote so we knew the price Dave charged was competitive. He was very punctual and tidy and we were so happy with him that we have booked him for more work; that reflects how pleased a customer is!

Would highly recommend him to others.

Review of recommended builder in Peterborough

Review Date:
1st May 2017

Summary:

Double garage converted to storage area and new loft hatch and electrics.

Comments:

We found Dave via his website and had two other companies quoting, with Dave being the 3rd. The other two were much higher in costs and we knew they would have ripped us off if we hadn't seen Dave's quote.

We wanted our garage to be converted with a stud wall, it then had to be plastered and new electrics put in. Dave gave a full quotation of what was going to be done, and explained in depth how it was to be done. He fitted in with our timescale for when we were ready as we had to book time off to decorate. The work surpassed our level of expecations of how good the garage would look, we are absolutely delighted.

Dave wasn't pushy in any way in securing the work. He then went on to quote for a new loft hatch of which we went ahead with.

He made sure that all the waste was taken away, and each day all the areas were left very tidy. He is really reliable and turned up exactly when he said he would, he even gave me and my wife advice on how to hang wallpaper as we were getting in a bit of a pickle with it and his advice really helped us decorate our home. He is just a great guy, good to have around and nice in his manner.

Would definitely use him again and recommend him no problem at all.

Summary:

New kitchen and re-decoration, moved a doorway and various jobs around the house.

Comments:

Dave Elms has carried out several jobs on my property. I discovered him a few years ago through an advert and rang him. From the first visit, to date, he has been the nicest person to have in my house, being on my own now it is so important I trust the person I have here doing jobs. 

Dave not only fits kitchens, he decorates, does odd jobs like putting a new hand rail and a blind up for me, he is so helpful and really does care about what needs doing. He gives great advice and looks at ways of saving you money. I was looking at a new kitchen and was going to buy it at B&Q as a flat pack but Dave used his own account and saved me money which I thought was really honest and kind of him.

He moved a doorway in my kitchen which was quite a big job. I felt relaxed about leaving him in the house to get on with it, and when I came back each day he made sure everywhere was clean and tidy with minimal disruption; he even made sure I could still use my toaster and a microwave while the kitchen was being done, he really is so thoughtful. I became so trusting of him that I supplied him with his own key and that says something in this day and age.

I am about to have new carpets put in and the doors will be catching at the bottom, so Dave has said he will come back and adjust the doors for me, he is so kind and caring.

My daughter is now using him and has re-jigged her kitchen and decoratiing throughout and we both said we wouldn't use anyone else. He is great value for money, never lets you down, his attention to detail is superb and I would strongly recommend him to anyone.
