So helpful, organised, tidy, polite and knowledgeable! My wall is hallow and plasterboard and was made with metal studs. I knew that putting a big tv on it via a bracket was a risky move (and someone else had already tried to do it and failed) but Ricky was so helpful and gave excellent suggestions and options for me to choose. Never complained, was polite and respectful in my home. He is meticulous but not slow. I felt that he was a very reasonable price and I will use him again and suggest him to anyone looking for a handyman.
