Have had David Forsyth to trim our hedges and other garden work for several years now and we have never been less than totally pleased with his work. We have recommended him to several friends who have always been pleased with his work and with him as a person - always pleasant and thoroughly professional, a first class service. Thank you David.
I contacted David about a number of jobs that I needed completing following a house move, including filling a hole in plasterboard approx 8" x 4", putting up curtain poles and towel rail, installation of spike for clothes line and adjusting gate lock. Both he and Richard were polite, everything was left tidy and appropriate fixings were supplied by David. Will be discussing further work in the garden next year.
David responded very quickly to my initial inquiry. I sent some photos of what needed doing and within 3 days he had quoted and completed the job! He kept me informed at all times, he was very accommodating and helpful and I'm extremely happy with the work. I highly recommend David for handyman / garden work and will use his services again in the future.
Have used a few times for odd jobs easy to organise, prompt and great work!

Your own checks
What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour. A vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials'. Agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated. Protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
