Excellent in every way
Chris came within a couple of hours of my initial call and did the work two days later. I was particularly impressed by the way he looked at the job as a whole, taking time to plan the best overall approach, rather than just deal with the separate sections. The finished work is impressive, especially as Chris was working in less than ideal weather conditions.

You will not be disappointed
We recently used Chris to replace several first floor windows which were not fire compliant following a recent house move. Additionally, we replaced the guttering as well as having a new front door fitted. His attention to detail was exceptional and the whole works were completed on time with no problems. Having just moved to the area we are extremely lucky to have found such a talented tradesman and will use him again

Brilliant workmanship
Chris just carried out another job for me. Have known him for last 5 years and he is an exceptional person. He has replaced the guttering on my home, the fascias and soffits at the back and has just painted the exterior of my home. No job too much trouble, his work is first class and he is the go to person I call due to the high standard of workmanship he offers. Reasonably priced, a guy you can depend on, very friendly, I would say 'give him a try - you will not be disappointed.

Chis came on a Saturday morning and cleaned out and fixed our leaking guttering. It had sounded like a waterfall when it rained, not anymore brilliant!! He also fixed a problem on the roof. Chris is a very easy man to talk to and we will definitely be calling him again. We would highly recommend him. Thanks Chris

Terrific guy who does a range of jobs
Called Chris last week about a leaking garage roof. He came out on a Sunday to inspect roof and gave a very reasonable price for job. He came back today Monday at the agreed time and repaired roof to a very good standard. I also had a few minor jobs around the house which Chris did and only charged a nominal amount extra. If you have any work that needs doing around the house call Chris and you will not be disappointed.

These guys worked hard all day and the results were superb. We had a problem with a window fitted by another installer and Chris ran up his ladder and fixed it. I don't know how he does it for the money.

Which? Local Review
We've recently had some guttering replaced by Chris. He came at the agreed time, was knowledgeable about the product and completed the work to a high standard. Took away old guttering and left the area tidy. Pleasant and professional, would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Would recommend and wouldn't hesitate using service again.
I tried Chris based on the Which? Trusted Trader reviews. (The work required was replacing some ridge tiles following storm Doris and fixing leaking guttering). I found Chris to be very personable and someone who got on with the job in a quiet, methodical and professional manner. He's a master carpenter who is clearly able to turn his hand to a wide range of building/maintenance/craft tasks. He turned out to quote and to do the work as promised and I was happy with the quality of his work and the price and wouldn't hesitate in using his services again for other jobs.

Which? Local Review
As praised below, Chris fitted new fascia boards, soffits, guttering and downpipes for us in 2013. This winter, and especially thanks to Doris, we found that guttering below the slope of our main roof, and the front down pipe, were overflowing. Chris was round in a couple of days, as friendly and pleasant as ever, and confirmed that moss from the roof had washed off the roof into the gutter, where it ran into the down pipe compacting down its whole height as more moss was forced on top of the lower layers. He removed and cleaned out the solid mass of moss, recommending the installation of FloGuard, a leaf protection system which will keep leaves (and moss) out of the guttering and down pipe, ensuring a clear flow of water along the guttering, down the pipe, and away into the drainage system. That was fitted the next day, as professionally and effectively as all that Chris has done for us, and we longer expect to experience rain water running down the wall and kitchen window! For which, Chris gets another grateful recommendation. Thanks Chris.

Which? Local Review
Chris has just finished fitting new fascia boards, soffits, gutters and downpipes at my daughters house. From the beginning he did everything he said he would on time. His work has transformed the appearance of the house. His insistence on doing the job with great care and attention was admirable as was the way he wasted no time . A very competent, trustworthy and impressive craftsman as well as a really pleasant person to deal with. I could not recommend him too strongly. He removed all the old guttering etc. and left the site clean and tidy. What's more he did the job at a very competitive price.

A very prompt, professional job.
Phoned Chris at 1.30 pm and he was at my home within the hour. After inspecting the damaged roof tile edging, he was soon away getting new edging tiles. A fair price was agreed and Chris was soon at work. The finished work was brilliant and matched the old edging perfectly. I was really pleased that Chris was able to do the job straight away. I was very impressed with his skill and with his knowledge. A very professional job. Many thanks Chris.
