David responded promptly to my job request and gave a fair quote. Hello was punctual, professional and tidy in his work. I would definitely book him again for other handyman jobs
David responded promptly to my job. He was professional and task focused. I am very happy with his work, he also offered to follow up if I had any more problems.
I booked David for a few jobs around the house: sealant replacement, drainpipe repair, changing a light switch and dismantling the old and installing a new garden shed. He assured me the shed (which was my priority) was achievable in a day. He dismantled the old one on day 1 ok, but struggled to do the new one and after about 4 hours on Day 2 of not much being achieved we had to call it quits. He didn't have the right equipment or skills unfortunately and so I didn't ask for any of the other jobs to be done. David was late turning up and didn't give a price upfront (I should have insisted).
