General Housing Services Ltd

We employed Dawid (GBS) to refurbish our ensuite bathroom after having been messed around by others. Dawid did a great job. He was conscientious, transparent on all pricing, tidy, hard-working and very knowledgeable and skilful. Although we encountered some problems due to the shower enclosure behind being unfit for purpose, Dawid was extremely tenacious in resolving the issue & dealing with the manufacturer. His hard work ensured we got a bathroom we're delighted with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dawid. He's also a lovely guy.

This was the second time Dawid has undertaken work in our flat and once again the service was exceptional. Dawid completed a reconfiguration and redecoration of our toilet to a great standard. Arrived and completed the job on time, communicated clearly throughout and was competitive on price - we would wholly recommend his business. Thanks again Dawid!

Dawid installed a new kitchen for us, sticking closely to the time-frame (not leaving the job to attend to other jobs, which is a godsend!) and stuck relatively closely to the quote. He also detailed every job according to the spec he provided. He has a good team of colleagues to call on if there are complications. Dawid is personable, has good work ethics and we would recommend him without hesitation. Particularly if you want someone who is provides information at every little stage of the project, which we did not need but appreciated.

I needed a wall re-plastered and employed Dawid. He provided a very detailed quote which I found useful, as some items I could do myself - like clearing the room. The plastering was completed on time and looks very good. The work was invoiced as per quote and included copies of receipts for materials bought. Dawid is knowledgeable of his industry and communicates well. He is professional, trustworthy and proactive. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending him and his team.

We used Dawid to fix broken floorboards, replace laminate flooring and to tile in the kitchen. Dawid was professional throughout, quickly using his knowledge to fix the source of the leak and repair the floor. The work was completed within a week and to a top standard with a professional clean up afterwards.

Dawid carried out some remedial works in our utility room which required the fitting of a worktop, re-plumbing a sink and re-housing a washing machine. Dawid did a great job and delivered on time and at a very reasonable price. The job was bespoke, required some tricky problem-solving in a tight space but the end result was great. Would highly recommend Dawid.

Dawid converted our small bathroom into a shower room - a surprisingly complex job which entailed replacing much of the original copper piping and drainage, installing a new sub floor and dealing with 95 year old walls that were not perfectly upright. A new shower enclosure and screen, washbasin and vanity unit, toilet, radiator and tiling throughout completed the job, with ourselves procuring the main items. At all stages, Dawid provided detailed quotations, replacing these with similarly detailed invoices as the work progressed. Knowledgeable, professional and hard-working, he and his assistant, Sean, achieved a high standard of finish while also having to work in the confined surroundings of a small bungalow. While the final price was more than we had originally anticipated, Dawid had to deal with a number of un expected issues as work developed, coming up with sometimes ingenious solutions. The pricing was always clear. On completion, all rubbish was removed, leaving only some minor cosmetic items (fitting chrome towel rails etc) to be undertaken by ourselves which we had always planned upon. He and Sean were also a friendly couple to have in the house and while their taste in music may not be missed, the house has been duller without their daily presence!

Dawid built a new boiler cabinet on an external wall. He did a brilliant job: high quality work, put in extra effort to fit the job into his schedule, and provided excellent customer service. He would be my first choice for future work, internal or external. He understood the requirements of the job and suggested materials that would provide a weather proof cabinet (a significant improvement over the previous one, built by a different contractor, which had deteriorated quickly). He was conscious of costs, minimising them where possible, and providing receipts without needing to be asked. His work is well designed and finished to a high standard. Dawid was responsive to questions and requests, and clearly committed to doing a great job for his customers. Highly recommended!

Dawid completed my bathroom refit - working with what had already been done previously and designing and completing what was left. He came quickly to advise and quote for the job. He took time to explain, made helpful suggestions, consulted often as work progressed and was great at problem-solving as issues arose. He has a great eye for detail, finishing work well; he communicates efficiently and personably. He and a colleague, Sean, were tidy and very easy to have in the house. He was very quick to fix an unexpected leak in existing pipework and could not have been more helpful trying to finish the work before guests came to stay, and was very prompt in coming back to fix a few snags within the week. I have already asked him to quote for future work. Here is the range of work he did for this job: - re-laid and extended the existing laminate flooring, adding a waterproof layer underneath; - installed a new sink, tiling and cupboards, preparing for a separate worktop templater and fitter to come in; - built a cupboard to house a new boiler, in such a way to allow servicing; - re-sited the existing bath, removing double tiling and replacing with single tiling (reusing some old tiles to ensure we had enough). - boxed in all the pipework, making it easy to open for any repairs. - installed new bath panels, enabling easy access to piping; - repaired and prepared all plasterwork and painted - hung new mirrors, hooks, and realigned the door so it shut and locked properly.

Communication was excellent. Work was carried out in the kitchen to accommodate new appliances and a new cupboard was built. All work was carried out as required, at the time agreed, to a high standard and to the price quoted. I am extremely satisfied.

Great service and a good friendly manner. Dawid completed the work quickly and was very kind and considerate.

We needed work on our house to make it suitable for a wheelchair user. The house was in a poor state of repair. It also needed to be done to a tight deadline. Dawid and team managed to complete the work on time. It involved repair to the roof, new central heating, electrical work, a new window, a new kitchen, new flooring, creating a wet room, and decorating. The work was finished to a high standard. Dawid kept us up to date with the progress, sending detailed estimates, and good communication throughout. He was quick to answer any queries. He was always polite and helpful and we plan to use his company again for further work.

`General Housing Services are professional and helped us out when our two bathrooms were left in an unusable state by another tradesperson. I was struck by his honesty, professionality and willingness to go the extra mile - will definitely recommend his services!

Well organised. Sent text to say on the way and eta. Arrived on time. Very polite and efficient. Did a good job at a reasonable price.

Dawid did work on my shower seal as I had a leak going down into my kitchen. He was so quick to respond and finished the job neatly and efficiently. He gave us lots of advice on how to prevent it from happening so quickly again. I would definitely recommend Dawid for any work you need doing on your bathroom.

Dawid was excellent. He was really good at communicating, he arrived promptly, worked efficiently, and the work he carried out is great. Would definitely recommend.

We had a very smooth process with GHS from start to finish and would highly recommend them. We had a leak in our flat that required a major job of stripping out our bathroom and front bedroom completely, drying them out and then re-tiling, re-flooring and redecorating those rooms as well as re-plastering our living room wall and redecorating. Dawid provided us with a quote very quickly, which clearly set out all of the various elements and how he’d arrived at the total cost. The quote was also very competitive relative to a couple of others we received from the big commercial firms. Dawid and his team communicated clearly throughout the job to keep us posted on progress and kept our flat as clean and tidy as possible throughout the works despite the mess. The team are also really friendly and were a joy to have round the flat for a few weeks. 5 stars - highly recommend!

Arrived on time, installed a radiator valve, filled up system and they noticed pressure was low. Investigated, found leak and fixed it. Tidied up afterwards.
