## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "I had mould on a stippled bathroom ceiling. The stipple proved more difficult to remove than at first expected, but Darren is so experienced, professional and with all the right equipment he sorted it out, painted and got the tiles shining. Now a sparkling bathroom! Darren also replaced some cupboard doors with silent hinges. Plus a few little jobs which didn’t take long but were a great help to me. Over the years Darren has done various jobs in my flat, decorated and build me lots of cupboards. Highly recommended!"

> "Darren did a great job of building an IKEA Pax wardrobe and making it look built into the alcove in one of our bedrooms. He also fixed floorboards on our first floor and some of the steps in our stairs so that they are much less creaky. He carried out this work to a high standard. We are very pleased with the results. Darren was very communicative and easy to deal with throughout the process. I highly recommend him."
