We are very pleased with the work carried out by Chris's 'Home Trimmings'. Friendly and helpful from quoting to completion of the job. We were kept informed throughout having all windows and doors changed. The new doors and windows all look great and are a HUGE improvement on the old ones! Additional insulation work was also quoted and carried out while the scaffolding was in place too. Leaking bit of guttering also fixed! All old materials and mess was taken away on completion. He was very thorough finishing off snagging jobs at the end. We are very pleased and would happily go to Home Trimmings again! A superb job for a very reasonable price. Thank you Chris.

Didn't turn up at the time they gave, and didn't have the courtesy to call me either. Is there anyone who you can trust?

It doesn't seem unreasonable to expect a fair job done for a fair price paid. In todays' world it seems it's almost impossible to find someone who is willing to carry out a good, fair job. Don't despair however they do exist! Chris Rathbone is a man who is more than capable of delivering work to a high standard, indeed he surpasses that standard to ensure the job he carries out is completely fit for purpose. He has just finished a facia, soffit and guttering job for me and without any extra expense has used the best quality guttering because he felt the job needed it. There was no increase to the job cost, it wasn't originally specified but he just felt uneasy about fitting something unsuitable for the task in hand. I would have no issues at all recommending him to others and I'd certainly use him again. It's been a while since I've had so much confidence in someone within the building trade. He deserves a glowing review, my wife and I love the work he's done for us. And just for the record I didn't know him prior to this job!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This review is more than a year overdue. That said, the fact that it's here now is indicative, I think, of how wanting to thank Chris has been playing on my mind. To cut a long story short, I found Home Trimmings on the Which? site and asked him to do replace the flat roof on my mother's extension. He did an absolutely superb job that more than a year on still looks pristine. He was everything all other reviews suggest: hard-working, informative, very knowledgeable and very reasonably priced. I am notoriously difficult to please but I would recommend Chris without hesitation.

Chris knows the value and meaning of customer service. He gave me full details of the products he was going to use, he drove to my house to deliver the quotation when I had said I was happy to wait for it to come by post, he undertook to do some ancillary work without hesitation, as he knew it would help me out, he arrived on time when he said he would, he indicated how long the work would take and came every day until it was done. I have no hesitation in recommending Chris and Home Trimmings and in fact I have asked him to do some more work, as I want the rest of the soffits and so on to match the standard of finish that Chris has delivered. He's a nice bloke, too!

In addition to the other excellent reviews, Chris has just completed fitting fascias, soffits and guttering to our large 1930's detached house, and has completely rejuvenated it's overall appearance. A first class job, backed by first class knowledge and skills, not to mention great ethics - he didn't want to leave before I was completely satisfied with his work! Replaced any existing timbers that were past there best with treated new timber. Everything fitted evenly and with all joints neatly finished. Eaves Protection System (EPS) fitted as standard. Even repointed end runs of roof tiles where necessary. Economical yet safe use of scaffolding kept costs down. Overall, highly recommended, and at a very reasonable price too!

I recommend Chris' approach and work from start to finish. A very detailed examination and measuring, plus presentation of examples of the materials he proposed to use, followed up with a detailed and very fair quote for supplying and fitting new fascia boards, soffits, guttering and downpipes. Started work on agreed date, on good time and never seemed to stop through the day. His attention to detail, quality of craftsmanship and knowledge of, and pride in his work were all obvious from "go", continuing through the four days to complete the work, and always pleasant and friendly. Cleared up as the work progressed and all replaced materials disappeared at the end of each day. We had sought & accepted a joint quote with our neighbours, but Chris was immediately willing to delay their work until the autumn as they had an unexpected family problem. He provides a two-year guarantee on his work, supported by a 15-year guarantee for the white profiles and 10-years for the rainwater profiles, the quality of those materials being as good as Chris' professionalism.
