Rating: 5 / 5

We needed various jobs done around our home as we were preparing to move out: replacing a hob top, fixing a dent in a door, replacing curtain fixtures, rebuilding drawers, etc. All of the work was done to an excellent standard, done quickly and professionally, and we couldn't be more pleased. We are definitely calling again for our new home because we feel safe and comfortable that the job will be done right!

I'm very impressed with my dealings with this business and the work carried out in my bathroom to address mould and paint issues, which went above and beyond what I'd expected. Pleasant, punctual and professional. I'd been let down in the past and also work by previous contractors needed to be corrected. Happy to recommend and consider for future work.

Highly recommend. I paid for flat pack assembly - a 2 door sliding wardrobe, chest of drawers and 2 bedside tables. Great communications, extremely polite and professional, quick to get the job done and a fantastic finish. Very happy customer and will return for future jobs.

Can’t recommend George enough! He worked through a list of jobs on the first visit from blinds to my garden gate and then he built the most awesome media wall for me in less than 2 days finished and painted whilst fitting in other little jobs. He is unfazed by any jobs and is awesome at woodwork. Professional and friendly I highly recommend him!

Fabulous service! Rang George and within a couple of hours of the initial call, we had 4 wall-hanging bike racks installed. Really good quality craftsmanship too.

Best Handyman you'll ever have. Completes every task with attention to detail and always has a solution if there's a hitch. You'll have to book him well in advance but it's worth the wait. George is a thoroughly honest and decent person and his modest charges reflect this. He perfectly installed our wall panels and much, much more.

We were thrilled with the work of George The Handyman. We have already had him return to do more jobs around our home. George helped us with a broad range of tasks, including fixing door handles, hanging mirrors, installing floating oak shelves, redoing bathroom silicone, attaching child-safe furniture straps, installing a water butt and wallpapering, as well as building us bespoke made-to-measure shelves in our lounge, plus much more! George was easy to communicate with, punctual, very organised and tidy. He worked through our list of jobs efficiently while discussing everything with us to ensure we were happy with the finished result. We also really appreciated his transparent pricing. George is an incredibly hard worker, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Dayan replaced some LED lights for me in the garage.He was very calm, professional, well organised while being very easy to liaise with. I am very pleased with the work Dayan undertook, better than the original installation. Dayan is multi skilled, and will be our first call for getting the house and garden jobs that need his skills. Highly recommended.

Bit late with the review, but like many others I was very impressed. Great work repairing our fence & garage. Really polite, helpful and explained everything in detail. He even popped back to return the cup from a brew I made him. Marvelous.

Rating: 5 / 5

Found Dayan via Google, I usually like to go via personal recommendation but the Google reviews were great and I needed my TV mounting quite quickly. I was initially booked in a few days ahead, which was appreciated given my late request, but as Dayan had an appointment change he contacted me and was able to help me on the day! Dayan was very friendly and reassuring and got the job done neatly and quickly. I would definitely use him again. Thank you!

We found Dayan and the team on Google to help us out with technical domestic jobs for our mum at her home. Dayan and his team are extremely friendly, are always on hand to help and are really understanding with clear communication. Additionally, their rates are very competitive and to a high standard. We are grateful and lucky to have found such a 'handy' service and so local to our mum. Would highly recommend and 100% will be using in the future.

A highly professional and courteous service when removing our dilapidated chimney down to ceiling level. Very competitive pricing, organised everything, excellent quality of work, and left the place spotless. Highly recommended.

This was, by far, the best experience we’ve ever had with tradesmen. Rob and his team were an absolute delight to host in our home for the week, and the quality of work is outstanding. Their work ethic, professionalism and attention to the details makes them stand out from the rest, and we felt like it was friends working in our home. It was also a huge comfort to know that they are inclusive, respectful and nonjudgmental of us and our family. Plus our dogs loved them, which is always a good indication of honest people. Have already booked the next job in with them!

Robert was swift to respond to a request placed on MyBuilder and came around to view the job soon after. He submitted me a quote some hours later and came within 10 days to complete the job. Totally satisfied with his work, punctuality and reliability. Fantastic service and I will be using him again, whilst recommending him to family, friends and anyone who's reading this review in the Christchurch, Bournemouth & Poole area.

Finally! A reliable tradesman! Excellent workmanship! Friendly, considerate, and professional. Would highly recommend Rob for high quality building and refurb work. Will definitely be using him again in the future.

We highly recommend Ellis. I’m the 1st to admit I have very high standards. Ellis has impressed me so much, that he is now definitely my go to on any other projects or problems I might need help with. We’ve had an issue where rain water kept flooding our kitchen. We’ve invested so much time, money and effort to no avail. But our luck changed once we approached Ellis. After some thorough investigation, he managed to find the problem areas. Due to the severity of the problem, he was quick to resolve the issues. He is a genius, as he has managed to achieve where 3 companies before him failed. He is also a clean and tidy worker and is very approachable.

Rating: 5 / 5

Great experience working with Ellis. He has a "can do" approach, he charges fairly and he won't leave you with an unfinished job to figure out yourself. Great timekeeping, he cleans up any mess before he leaves and he is good at what he does. Very easy to work with and you can be confident the job will get done with a good finish.

Ellis came to ours to put up a shed and put in some lights on our high ceilings. He came exactly when he said he would, worked quickly, keeping us updated with progress, and did a great job. His price was entirely fair. We would highly recommend his services. Thanks Ellis!

What a fantastic service, would highly recommend. Ellis supplied and fitted a new side gate, of excellent quality and dug out an old manhole cover and surround, then cemented in a new surround, filling in holes found when digging out the old one. Ellis is a very personable, efficient workman with good honest communication and time keeping.

Dean Andrew's came to my home and sorted out my Tado heating control system. I was completely out of my depth and didn't understand how the system worked. He worked through the issues methodically, which involved pipework and re- programing the individual control valves. Dean explains everything in plain language. I would not hesitate in recommending Dean he has a wide range of skills and is personable and efficient.

Recommended to me. No heating and no hot water. Came out immediately to assess and made plans for boiler works. Kept me updated all the way and checked up to make sure everything was working. This was all over the Christmas period! Clean, tidy and very courteous. Highly recommend.

Rating: 5 / 5

Cannot rate Dean enough! I gave him the challenge of installing a new boiler in my upstairs bathroom in a home renovation. Old boiler, which had an immersion tank was previously in the kitchen. Dean drained down the whole system, took out all the old tanks and boiler, installed new pipework, moved my toilet to accommodate the new boiler and installed new soil pipe. He was thorough and friendly and even though i was at work, he was completely trustworthy and kept me updated with the progress. I have hot water, great heating, a new Hive system and i came home from work to a tidy home. Will recommend Dean to anyone and will be using him again soon for new radiators when i have finished decorating. Exceptional tradesman!

I recently had an urgent plumbing issue at my home and contacted Dean at ecoGAS. I was amazed by his prompt response and exceptional service. From the moment I placed the call, Dean acted swiftly and professionally to address my concerns. Dean arrived at my doorstep within hours, fully equipped and ready to tackle the problem. Their professionalism and expertise were immediately apparent as he assessed the situation and devised a provisional solution to prevent further damage. Not only did Dean address the immediate issue with efficiency, but he also took the time to explain the steps they were taking and answered all of my questions patiently. His attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction were truly commendable. Thanks to Dean's quick response and proactive approach, my plumbing problem was resolved in no time. I couldn't be more satisfied with the service provided. I highly recommend Dean at ecoGAS to anyone in need of a reliable and skilled plumber. Dean truly deserves five stars for his outstanding service and professionalism.

Joel, Woodland Handyman Services, did a fantastic job repairing my storm damaged wooden fence last week. Joel gave a competitive quote for the work and completed the job in a few hours and left my property very clean. Would highly recommend Joel.
