Needed a full rewire excluding kitchen From the moment we first saw James and Anthony, we knew they were the real deal and perfect for the job. They took our diagrams, suggested improvements, and gave us a detailed quote competitive to 7 other providers. We gave our keys over and the work was completed 6 days later. Problems were communicated and viable alternatives were implemented with no fuss. House has been left very clean. EIC and part p issued upon payment. Thanks James, Anthony and Jordan

Exterior decorating Looking after the outside of your property protects your biggest investment - it also makes the house your home. Proper care of woodwork and, where needed, masonry is a small job if it is done in time, but sometimes maintenance has to give way to repair. Our experienced workmen will take care to fully prepare your walls and external surfaces before painting to make sure that your property is well protected. Whether you are considering exterior decorating for aesthetic reasons or practical reasons - or both - we recommend careful choice of decorator and of materials. Rotten wood, for example, should be dealt with as quickly as possible. But UPVC replacements will never have the same feel of quality. INTERIOR DECORATING Making your home look beautiful depends on your choice of colours and finishes, but it is surprising how much difference the details make. Really well done decorating gives an immediate impression of quality. The difference between good decorating and poor decorating really depends on the preparation - putting in the work before the pain goes on. Good tradesmen know that, and it's something we look at closely when we're taking on a new decorator. You can rely on our tradesmen to do a proper job. We're always happy to give advice - when asked - about colour combinations and how to create the effect you want. We can probably offer you some ideas you might not have considered. ROOFING Need your guttering replaced or repaired? Give us a call. We can provide guttering to fit any type of property and we have a wide range of types and shapes in stock. We also offer a gutter cleaning and maintenance service – let us clean and seal all your existing guttering for you. Just speak to a member of the team today for a quick quote. Different types of guttering OG gutteringHalf round gutteringSquare gutteringCast iron look alikeWe also replace down pipes from cast iron to upvc

Arben and his team were fantastic. Before the project started there was real concern to make sure we were sure that we were getting what we wanted. When they started considerable care was devoted to making sure that all measurements and positions were correct. They worked hard, were on time, clean, tidy, and considerate. The end result is exactly what we wanted, beautifully installed at the agreed price in the timescale agreed. I would highly recommend this team.

I used the Rated People website for the first time when the recent bad winds damaged our fences. Although I posted the request on a Sunday night - I was amazed when Ash responded an hour later, following up promptly with a call the next morning. Ash completed the work that same week. He stayed in full contact with us throughout, with updates and details whilst the work was under way. The response and communication was amazing, workmanship was top quality, and the costs very fair. Highly recommended.
