Review of recommended shed base installation in Crowland, Peterborough

Review Date:
6th August 2018

Summary:

Shed base and sorting out a shed put together out of alignment.

Comments:

Neil stepped in and and rescued a not so good job that was completed by another tradesman. Neil is honest and will talk you through all your options and he will advise you if it’s possible or not.

Neil kept in contact with me the whole way through and gave me feedback through the whole process involving me and making sure I was happy. 

I can't say enough - what a fantastic job he has left me with and now I’m more than happy. I have a great shed base that is solid and straight. 

I would 100% recomend Neil.

Summary:

New fencing. 

Comments:

We are really pleased with the work that Neil did for us, the fence looks very good. Neil and his assistant worked very hard in extremely hot conditions. His communication both before and during the job was spot on, we always knew when Neil would be with us and the plan for the day. He was extremely polite and considerate and checked with us throughout the job that it was to our expectations.

Review of recommended fencer in Cowbit, Spalding

Review Date:
12th July 2018

Summary:

Removal and replacement of garden gate/fence.

Comments:

After arranging a date for Neil to visit and do the work, he and his colleague turned up on time with all materials necessary to complete the job and promptly started work.

Our old gate (which was held up by a garden waste bin) was removed and a brand new bespoke beautifully handmade gate was built and erected with a fence next to it (the garden waste bin no longer needed :-) )

Neil and his colleague worked hard and ensured that we were happy with what they were doing during the process. They worked to a high standard and Neil works as if he was doing the work in his own garden. He is very thorough and does an impeccable job. We could not be happier with the garden gate if we tried. Neil advised that someone who didn't know what they were doing could have done a better job than what was in.......I have to say, looking at the gate it is clear Neil DOES know what he is doing and has done an amazing job!!! It's so good I can't stop looking at my new gate!

Neil also removed a conifer from the boundary of the house for us. He did this professionally and ensured the job was completed fully. He filled the hole and put the stones back over to make it look neat; again another high standard job.

To sum everything up, the service Neil offers is VERY GOOD value for money. He works incredibly hard and is passionate about doing the best job he can do. He is trustworthy and reliable and gives good customer service.

Neil is now our go to garden/fencing man and we will definitely use his services again. I have already recommended him and will continue to do so!

Thank you for doing our work Neil.

Review of recommended fencing specialist in Cowbit, Spalding

Review Date:
6th June 2018

Summary:

Work yet to be undertaken but HAD to leave a review!

Comments:

I contacted Neil to give us a quote for a fence to be erected and to have a new gate installed. Neil called back the exact same day and as we were out he did not stop trying till he got us!!! This was even on a Sunday which I was not expecting at all.

Neil visited as arranged and kept in contact to let us know when he was going to arrive.

On inspection of the job Neil immediately suggested we check planning due to what we were wanting. Neil was very open and honest and explained why he wanted us to check. He was friendly and approachable and answered any questions we had.

We left it agreeing that we would check what he had advised and get back to him. We are SO very grateful to Neil for advising us to check with planning as it turns out what we were wanting indeed did need planning!!!!!! A few of our neighbours have had done what we were wanting and since having checked with them they were not advised to do the same!!!! 

Neils honesty has indeed lost him quite a big job HOWEVER his work ethic and morals have come before his bank balance.  He has potentially saved us a headache in the future.......if we were to move and needed documents for the fence which we wouldn't of had....(if we had of gone with an other company)

Neil has agreed to come back and do our gate for us and after having looked at his pictures of his work I am very pleased he will.  So although the current job isn't as big as it could of been Neil has still agreed to do it.  

To sum things up.......Neil is a very conscientious , hard working, honest, approachable friendly individual.....unfortunately these are rare in this day and age. For him to tell us about the planning... subsequently then not having quite as lucrative a job to do this highlights just how honest and trustworthy he is!....he still put us first ensuring the job was the correct thing for us to be having. He is eager and passionate about his work and the type of job he likes to do for customers.

Once he has installed our gate I'm sure I'll be back on with another fantastic review as I know he will do an amazing job. If I could mark him higher I would of done!

Dont hesitatate to call Neil.....you won't be disappointed!!! 

Review of recommended fencing specialist in Hampton, Peterborough

Review Date:
15th May 2018

Summary:

Concrete repair spur for three wooden fence posts.

Comments:

After initial contact, Neil was available two weeks later to do the work, so in the meantime, he did a quick fix job to prevent further damage to the fence. On the arranged date, he arrived on time and did an excellent job repairing the fence. In addition, he did minor repairs to the fence gate. The area was left clean and all the rubbish was carried away.

Would definitely recommend him.

Summary:

Removing old gate and replacing with new gate.

Comments:

I rang several companies to get a quote for the above work but many didn’t have the courtesy of returning my call, I contacted Neil who called round the same day.  Neil explained clearly what needed to be done and quickly provided a quote itemising the work needed.  

Neil and Alex arrived promptly on the day arranged and did a fantastic job replacing the gate. It is clear that Neil takes great pride in the work he does, which is becoming rare these days.

I would not hesitate to use Neil again for any fencing work and would certainly recommend him.
