I called AH Electrical out on Sunday afternoon to fix a light I couldn’t do. He came out on Sunday evening, was really helpful and fixed the light. Great service and really helpful guy. Will definitely be using again and will also recommend. One happy customer.

Quick, tidy, efficient work by Andy and his team, much appreciated. LED spots in the kitchen and bathrooms look amazing. Outside lights brilliant work too. Cleaned up afterwards and no mess. Thanks!

Have used this company to repair a faulty socket and install a new oven. Both times received excellent and quick service. Andy is polite and friendly, and I highly recommend him and won't hesitate to use him should I need electrical work doing in the future.

I chose to ask Dave and Caroline to do work on my house on the strength of their reviews, I was not disappointed! Initially the paths were jet washed at a third of the price 'requested' by a previous contractor, holes in floor tiles were repaired, wallpapering done, gutters cleared and the porch painted. This time, the kitchen was refurbished, with new wall tiles, worktops, sink, taps, hob, dishwasher and washer/dryer. The finish was excellent, I noticed that Caroline was shaving 'dust' off a wall tile in order to ensure a correct fit and Dave simplified the intricate 'Heath Robinson' under sink plumbing. Dave and Caroline went beyond expectations, both worked late to make sure that I was not inconvenienced and all with a cheerful attitude. I was thrilled with the result, and will ask them to return to plan and execute changes to the bathroom. Thank you to you both for such a fantastic job and for the tea, soup and hot buttered toast!

Dave and Carroline are very professional. On time every day and worked straight through without stopping.very friendly and gave us good advise on what we wanted doing. They were spotless. GREAT. JOB EXCELLENT OUTCOME. MORE WORK TO COME

Rating: 5 / 5

2 absolute professionals from pricing the job, explaining what they would be doing, how long the work would take and the work they carried out. We were recommended to this company by friends and their workmanship was second to none. 2 rooms redecorated, 3 walls painted, 1 wall papered, woodwork and doors glossed in each room. Then tiled a splashback. Prepped everything first, then undercoated before applying 2 coats to finish. Cleaned up everyday and also when finished. All at a reasonable price. My wife and I would highly recommend them and will be looking to use them again when we decorate our bedrooms.

Shed roof removed, relaced and re-felted. Dave and Caroline did an excellent job. The work was completed quickly and to a high standard. I would not hesitate in recommending this friendly and efficient company for any work required.

Gav has done loads of work I'm my home since I bought it. From plastering to bespoke shelves and cupboards, skirting boards to hanging door, he does it all including some teaching along the way. I couldn't recommend him enough!

Rating: 5 / 5

I would highly recommend his services. He doesn't charge the earth and does what he says he will no fuss.

Rating: 5 / 5

We have worked with Gavin, as a contractor for our property portfolio, for many years. He is extremely reliable and always provides a very professional service. I’d highly recommend !

Rating: 5 / 5

The question you should really be asking yourself is why would you not get Gav in? Offers up clear and fair estimates and a real attention to detail in what he delivers; little things like a proper clean up of the area or looking to maximise the use of the materials purchased, just go a long way to cermet a top-notch service. He's also just a really nice guy. I've engaged him a few times now and is absolutely my go-to to get projects done I can't/won't do myself.

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 !

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.

Ben has done a wonderful job on refreshing our walk in shower cubicle, removing and replacing all the old grout,re-grouting and resealing. He was recommended to us by a friend and we have not been disappointed. Very professional, cleared away all evidence of a very messy job we are very satisfied, our bathroom looks as new again.

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.

Aimee and all of her bar staff are fantastic. It’s exactly what Melbourne needed. I can’t speak for the salon because I’m yet to try it but the bar is amazing. I hope it sticks around for a long time!

Rating: 5 / 5

What a breath of fresh air to Melbourne, fantastic live music every weekend with drinks priced extremely well. The bar has a great atmosphere and the staff are great. I felt there was a great selection of wines, spirits, cocktails and draft beers along with an alcoholic free option. The only thing I would say is the music has to stop at 11:00 due to the neighbours with it being a residential area. The landlady is extremely respectful of this and despite numerous people asking her to continue playing music after 11:00 she was strict with the time lines. All in all it’s a great new addition to a great area of Derbyshire and we will be definitely going back this this May bank holiday for more live music. 👌🏼

Great concept, ran by a very hands on passionate entrepreneur who we met on opening night - cocktails are great. Looking forward to the acoustic guitar night in a few weeks time. Will be back.

I cannot recommend Aimee enough she is truly one of the loveliest people, she genuinely cares about her patients. I have travelled 3 hours to work on specific problems I was experiencing and I would happily drive 6 to see her. Not only is Aimee skilled and she takes pride in her work, which produces such superb results. After seeing a dozen practioners who said my issue could not be made symmetrical. I was contemplating surgery. I found Aimee and I have travelled to see her numerous occasions. One of my biggest insecurities through an DV incident is symmetrical again and so natural looking. Whenever I look in the mirror or a camera I'm not self conscious, I smile. If every practitioner was as skilled, approachable, knowledgeable and as hardworking, this industry would be a better place. If you are ever considering anything aesthetic wise its Aimee that you want to book with. Thank you so much x

Absolutely superb service - very professional, honest and polite! Thank you Matt for an excellent job! Needed some insect mesh installing to 3 exhaust vents in our home and the quality of the job has been great! The team even noticed an issue with the ducting and fixed that too! Highly recommend and will use again!

Rating: 5 / 5

Matt has done work in our house twice now and I would highly recommend him to everyone! He was on time, very professional, polite, friendly, great with kids and a really hard worker. I left him in the house alone while I went shopping and I was 100% comfortable with that. I’m already thinking of other jobs so we can get him back to help out :-)

Rating: 5 / 5

Highly recommend this company. Mat fixed a fence blown down in one of my properties and dealt with this quickly and efficiently. Will defo be using these guys again.

Rating: 5 / 5

Probably the most efficient and polite tradesperson I have met. Very punctual, honest and hard working with fair treatment, understanding and pricing. We have used Matthew multiple times and have referred him on serval occasions to receive thanks from those we referred him to. Shame there’s not much lore like him.

Fantastic service from original quote request through to completion of the job, which was done to a really high standard. We were kept informed throughout the process and dealing with Deborah, Andy and the team was a refreshingly straight forward and a pleasure. Thoroughly recommended

I am very happy with the work that was completed by Andy’s team. My garden and balcony are now complete. Both Dan and Evan were absolutely fantastic throughout, they are both very professional and respectful and I enjoyed them being at the house. I will be using Melbourne builders again for my next project, I recommend them to everyone. Thanks so much.

Rating: 5 / 5

After being let down by another builder we decided to contact Melbourne Property Services and so glad we did. From the initial visit to price up, everybody turned up when they said they would, until the job was finished. The lads they were very courteous and respectful. We are very pleased with our new block paved driveway and fencing and we would have no hesitation in recommending them.

I was looking for a new plastic Cupola Vent for the stables but Andy at Melbourne Property Services said that I wouldn't be pleased with a plastic one but to go for a bespoke wooden one, which I did. They have just completed the job and it looks amazing. Andy arranged for the cupola to be made, scaffolding erected and the cupola to be fitted and finished with a lead top and painted in white. Andy's fitter, Dan, was a true craftsman with meticulous attention to detail when fitting it into the roof. This is the 2nd project they have done for my family, both excellent. Can highly recommend.
