My name is Akos, I am originally an architect but I have a company called Zebra Services here in the South of England including South London. I do a lot of things by trade but my favourite occupation and our specialty is roofing, guttering, chimney and decorating, and painting, this includes minor plasterboard work, doors, skirting boards etc. But I wouldd rather have them talk about what others think of us: Akos and his colleague that worked on our house were thorough professionals and took great pride in the work they do. Honest, on time, and always thinking on their customers' behalf. He will be my first call if I have anything else that needs looking into around the house. Ahmed, Putney The work was done thoroughly and within the agreed time. Very polite people, no hanging around on phone calls, cleaning up after the job. A pleasure to have Zebra around. Will definitely use them again when necessary. Christian, East Grinstead Akos did a good job on my summer house. Plus he was punctual, pleasant, hardworking, quick and sensibly priced. What more could one want? Would happily recommend him. Alice, BN7 Akos was excellent from start to finish. He is a perfectionist and a very hard worker. He worked through the rain to complete the job on time. He did excellent repair work on a highly damaged chimney stack and repaired gutters. Would definitely use him again. High-quality work and is a very pleasant man. Christopher, TN21 Akos did an excellent job in very unpleasant conditions and I couldnât be more pleased with the result. Definitely intend to use Zebra again. Keith, East Grinstead Akos was charming and diligent. His initial inspection was detailed and his subsequent work was quick and neat. I will be using him again Martin, Brighton Akos fixed everything for us. He is an excellent tradesman. Highly recommended. Timothy, RH19 Absolutely brilliant job. Really good fair honest guy and very good workmanship. Will definitely use him again for anything roof/gutter related and would recommend him. James, KT6 Thanks for carrying out such good work in my flat at a reasonable rate. I will definitely have you back again and recommend you to friends and family that are looking to have work done. Thanks again. Clyde, Dartford Akos proved to be a hugely competent craftsman who completed our roof and guttering repair on time and within a reasonable budget. We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him. Phil, Forest Row

I had some fencing replaced, some crazy paving taken up and gravel put down and a gate erected by these guys. The work was done to a great standard with minimum fuss and in a timely fashion. They do not use any sub-contractors so you know who you are dealing with throughout the project. The site was left clean and tidy too so I am more than happy to recommend SNC Building and Maintenance Service for similar jobs.
