n****3 (30 Thursday, 9 January 2014 )I previously had an internal door blocked off by a 'tradesman' who left the job incomplete and looking awful. I was hesitant to have another tradie in my house after that experience, but contacted Iain after reading his reviews. He arrived on time, did an excellent job, cleaned up thoroughly, and I couldn't be happier with the finished job. His charge was extremely reasonable for the work done. I'll be using Iain again & recommend him to anyone needing home repairs or maintenance.
o**********3 (0 Monday, 6 January 2014 )Iain fitted our kitchen along with removal of the chippie and replacement Gib.

s********1 (712 Sunday, 19 February 2012 )the service provided from start to finish was beyond excellent. Ian was quick with his quote, efficient with his work, tidy in his workmanship, cleaned up after each day of work and most importantly listened to what I wanted and did what I wanted. He had some good ideas that he put accross in a non condesending way. The only thing I would change is to get him to do the whole job. I only used him for his building skills. He has contacts that proved extremely helpful in a sticky stituation. thnxs
