A really speedy response and the job was completed very efficiently. Such a lovely, friendly man and I felt really comfortable with him in my home. He will be my go-to person for any small DIY jobs which crop up.

Lionel was prompt on both visits, was approachable and communicated options. He was very keen to do a very good job and I am planning on asking for more work to be done
Always does an excellent job . I have been using Lionel for about 5 years. Very happy with everything he does from decorating and household maintenance to odd jobs. Lionel will always come and give advice even help in an emergency if required. Reasonably priced and happy to still come and help even tho I moved house
