Lucky and Son fitted a 17ft (5m by 3m) by 10ft metal garage which required bolting to the ground. Also, the garage assembly required 100s of screws to be fitted. They provided a professional quality service, fitting the garage exceptionally, preceded by a quick prompt honest transparent quote. All this was carried out with humility and character. Thank you for your service, and l highly recommend to anyone. Lucky and Son care about the quality of the work.

So pleased that we found Lucky. Very professional from the start. He always kept his appointment times and assisted with the design of the bathroom. His workmanship is excellent and for the amount of work done, a very reasonable price. We have asked him to quote for another job and would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Lucky

Johan was very prompt in responding to my request and skilled in many areas. I requested him to decorate my downstairs loo. He made me a bespoke boxing in of pipework which was removable incase of any future plumbing problems, with tiling and decor. I was pleased with all his work and although I thought his day rate was high once I considered the skill and time involved I realised this was a fair price for the work undertaken. He did also give me a time frame in which it would be completed minimum to maximum which is unusual for workmen. This took him 2 days and am pleased with the result.

I chose Johan because of his great reviews - and they are all well deserved. I needed a new front door fitting into the existing frame with new fixtures and fittings. He did a brilliant job, despite the frame not being exactly square. He was prompt, reliable, skilled and knowledgable, and he kept me informed of everything he was doing. Highly recommended.

Johan provided a top rate service. He restored our broken Futon Company oak sofa bed back to full working order , which was not an easy task. Johan is very friendly and very skilled both in finding solutions and in the quality of his finished work. I would highly recommend him.

I contacted Johan regarding boxing in my old fireplace and making a bespoke stud wall to cover under the stairs and create a media section. He was extremely professional, kept me upto date on times and days and discussed design ideas taking onboard my needs. The finished products exceeded all my expectations, the craftsmanship was simply superb and the cost was extremely reasonable, given the attention to detail, and skills involved. If you want a professional job then I would highly recommend Johan. I'm definitely retaining his number for future works.

Benvale Home Maintenance - 5 Star Service - Again. Ben did another job for us, this time floor strengthening in the attic. Delighted with the job. Clean, strong and effective. Couldn’t be happier! Shouldn’t be sharing really as Ben is too good a find to publicise! Brilliant Job. Thank you.

Rating: 5 / 5

I would highly recommend Benvale Home Maintenance - Ben was happy to tackle a variety of issues in our house including fitting a dishwasher, a complicated problem with fitting a cooker hood, putting up blinds and basically anything else we asked him to help with. No job is too much for him he just gets on with sorting everything and I wouldn't hesitate to book him again.

Rating: 5 / 5

I was very nervous about finding somebody to help with a multitude of jobs which would normally require several tradesmen as there is lots of people that claim they can do everything, but doing it to a good standard is another. I can honestly say it was a pleasure having Ben here, he was not only a pleasure to have round, he was extremely tidy, very fairly priced - the hourly charges generally work in the favour of the customer as he doesnt stop, he had stripped some very old lining paper off for us which was not the easiest but he was patient to get it all off without damaging the walls underneath, he also ensured he put the room back together to enable us to use the room until the plasterer arrives. We will definitely be having Ben back round again.

Ben recently completed several jobs around the house for me (ranging from installing a new dishwasher to repairing an old wooden window frame, grouting the hearth tiles to repairing a kitchen cabinet door). I found Ben to be professional and friendly, organised and neat and tidy in his approach to the work. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ben (as indeed, I already have) and look forward to welcoming him back again in the future as my new ‘go to’ handy person. A well deserved 5 star rating !

Albert has been absolutely fantastic in the service he has provided. We have had all external windows, doors and patio doors mastic’d. Two broken extractor fans replaced, a set of patio doors readjusted and a new lock, fitted new blinds and a new shower screen. Albert is a perfectionist and his work is always completed to a very high standard. What a lovely man! Thank you Albert, we have found the perfect handyman for any future work 😊

Albert from Dr. House Handyman did an outstanding job painting the exterior of my home. His attention to detail, professionalism, and efficiency truly exceeded my expectations. The house looks fantastic, with clean, even coverage and sharp lines. Albert was also incredibly respectful of my property, leaving everything neat and tidy at the end of each day. I couldn't be more pleased with the results and highly recommend Albert for any painting or handyman needs. Top-notch work!

Rating: 5 / 5

Albert was recommended to me through a friend. He fitted 7 internal doors over 2 days. His work was of a very good quality and the price was spot on. He also cleaned up as he was working which isn't always the case when having work done. I will definitely use Albert again in the future.

One Nine Three Hair and Beauty is the place to go! I always go for my eye brows to be done after preferring Jodie to do them before she had this salon. She is absolutely fantastic and her customer service is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble and all of the staff make you feel very welcome whenever you are in the salon. Yesterday was my first time having a facial done at One Nine Three and it was amazing! One of the best I have ever had. I will definitely be going again for another one! 💕

Jodie always does my brows and lashes and does a fab job. Sam does my hair now and managed to tidy up a bit of a botch job for me! It also helps that they have a lovely range of hot drink options and are great people; I love the Harry Pooter decor too... It really is a lovely place to spend some time!

Wow what a hidden Gem. Such a magical experience from the moment you walk through the door. I had a full body massage which I would highly recommend which was so relaxing especially with the ambiance of the room. The therapist was very calming and made me feel very comfortable.

Rating: 5 / 5

Stumbled across this place a few years ago for my Harry Potter obsessed eldest's birthday party, which was brilliant fun. Not only is the most incredibly decorated salon I've ever been to but the service is impeccable. Jodie is so friendly and helpful and reassuring. Always come out feeling your best! And the ideal place for a wizarding party or pamper session!

Would Highly recommend as a male. My eyebrows are fairly blonde and wanted them to be more darker and more defined. Hayley has done a fantastic job of matching the perfect colour and shaping my eyebrows exactly how I wanted them. Very professional and the fsobx environment is very calm and relaxing. My eyebrows look amazing and natural. I’m so happy how they have turned out. Thank you Hayley.

Me and my mum both had our brows done with Hayley this week and I can’t thank her enough for the amazing experience! I booked in for a colour boost as I had my brows done with Hayley 4 years ago and they now look better than ever!! She listened to exactly what I wanted, chose the perfect colour match and shaped my eyebrows to perfection. It was my mums first time having her eyebrows done and she was very nervous but Hayley did an incredible job to make her feel at ease, she explained the process to her, constantly reassured her, the colour match one again was incredible and she’s given my mum the most amazing soft natural brows, my mum is so happy with them and can’t wait to see them properly healed! Hayley is incredible at her work and if you’re wanting anything regarding your eyebrows then you need to visit Hayley, she is the best of the best!! Thank you once again 🫶🏼

I recently had ombré eyebrows done, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the experience was amazing. The artist Hayley was incredibly professional, attentive, and took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. The attention to detail was impeccable, and the results speak for themselves—my brows look stunning! The process was comfortable, and I felt completely at ease the whole time. The aftercare instructions were clear, and I appreciated the follow-up support. I’ve already received so many compliments on my brows, and I’m thrilled with how natural and flattering they look. I highly recommend Hayley @fsobx to anyone considering ombré brows. Thank you for your incredible work!

Absolutely thrilled with my semi-permanent brows! Hayley was so lovely, understanding, and incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. She really took the time to listen to what I wanted and made me feel completely at ease. The results are amazing—I’m already in love with them and can’t wait to see how they look once fully healed! Highly recommend Hayley to anyone considering semi-permanent/ombré brows!
