Jackie Hunter204Floor fitterNickFitted tiled flooring in my kitchen/sitting room and hallway, Nov. 2016, and wooden flooring in both bedrooms, Nov. 2017.07907 511425Nick has a photo portfolio of numerous previous jobs. His quote was the lowest of three I was offered on Ratedpeople.com – by £350. He completed the job within two working days to a very high standard with an impeccable finish, I was extremely impressed. He was also polite, communicative and reliable and stuck to the agreed fee – no hidden extras. He also cleaned up and replaced all furniture that had been moved. Highly recommended.27 Feb 2017

Jackie Hunter204Painter/decoratorRalph Pitchfordralph.pitchford@btopenworld.comExcellent painter and decorator, who I've known for about 16 years. Ralph's a former graphic designer so his painting style and finish is really immaculate. Other skills: tiling, patch repairs to plaster, general handyman work. Not a qualified plumber or electrician, but can change light fittings, or remove/reinstall a loo for tiling underneath it. Less relevant to our building are his fencing, patio and decking skills, but he does a lot of that work in summer. Ralph works with a dog, Rufus the spaniel, in tow, so be aware of that if it's a problem in your home. He is friendly, polite and a good communicator — and the same goes for Ralph : )

Joe Kennedy305New Balcony DoorsRanebrook WindowsReplaced old balcony doors with new ones, T: 01322332237 www.ranebrook.co.uk Email: ernesta@ranebrook.co.uk Very good. They measured up and took careful note of the existing doors and came back with much more robust, double glazed doors that match the old ones. Efficient team, did it all in a day, and protected the flat from a raging thunderstorm midway through fitting! Took a couple months between measuring and fitting, but they said Covid supply issues were delaying parts. 1 Apr 2022
