We had an electrician chase two separate walls out leaving significant gaps either side of an original Victorian dado rail. Rob expertly filled these voids and decorated them to such a high standard you would have no idea the electrician had left such a mess. It's made an unbelievable difference. Top notch.

After visiting "Paper, paint & scissors" to find ideas for our bedroom. We were helped to choose wallpaper and paint and were also given Rob's business card to get a quote. Rob phoned and came round quickly - we were impressed by the quote and he started work on the 9th May. Very personable, room was always tidy at the end of the day and we were kept up to date on progress. It took 3 days to complete. The quality of the finish to the room is amazing. We would definitely use both the shop and Rob (Houseforce) again and would happily recommend them to family & friends.

Rob and his two sons Euan and Owen painted the whole interior of our four bedroom house. An excellent experience from start to finish, they're very polite, friendly and hardworking. And we're very pleased with the quality and high standard of the work! One of the bedrooms needed a lot of preparation, ie stripping, filling and sanding before applying extra coats of painting. Small repairs or additional coat of paint on the wall was not added to final invoice so the initial quote and final invoice remained the same. They're absolute professionals, knowledgeable, flexible and very thorough. Highly recommended!

Rob and his 2 sons, Euan and Owen painted the exterior of our house. It hadn’t been painted for a while so needed a lot of preparation. It is also large and unusually shaped being an unconventional semi detached yet nothing was too much trouble for them. The work was completed to a high standard and we are delighted with it. At least 2 of my friends are actively asking Rob for quotes on the basis of this job.

We had the exterior of our house and garage (rendering and woodwork etc.) redecorated by Rob and his two sons. They did an excellent job both carefully and speedily and it was a pleasure to have them working on our property. Some additional work not quoted for in the original estimate was done with no additional charge. Highly recommended.

Rob and his two sons came to decorate my entire hallway (5 bedroom house). Everything we originally agreed to be done was completed to a very high standard. Would thoroughly recommend HouseForce to anyone. They even went the extra mile and made sure of a perfect finish in every corner of the ceiling and floor areas. A 5 star job all round with some of the best characters you could wish to meet. Great value too. Thanks lads we'll be back to you.

We wanted the whole exterior of our house redecorating, and Rob and Euan did a really good job. We were relieved that when the job was discussed initially Rob said there was no need for scaffolding. There was rain during the week that the work was due to start, therefore we lost a bit of time but they worked hard and made up the time. Odd bits of repair to render and woodwork were carried out in addition to the painting, but the invoiced cost was as per original quote. No complaints!

Resurfacing and painting external window sills and frames

We were getting rain water leaking through into our internal bedroom walls underneath our windows in our Victorian-built house. After getting quotes from various builders and no one being sure of what was causing the problem, we decided to go with Rob as he took a practical approach to trying to solve it, with a fair price, rather than suggesting a full overhaul that might be unnecessary. Rob also suggested the work could be done on ladders, saving us the huge cost of erecting scaffolding. He was friendly and knowledgeable throughout our discussions. Rob attended with his son to complete the work in one day, removing the old flaking paint and masonry from the sills and columns, before filling and repairing them, and applying 3 coats of paint. They worked quickly and carefully and cleared up completely. Great work, thank you! If we need something else done in future, we will be in touch.

I ‘found’ Rob listed as a recommended trader on the Which? website and decided to ask him to quote for the work. He responded to my call promptly and gave me a quote, which I thought was reasonable. He kept to the schedule and budget set out and he and his team were courteous, friendly and considerate. I am very pleased with the finish and would not hesitate to use them again.

Rob & his son Euan supplied & fitted a new fence to my garden (I have used them previously to paint my entire house) the fence was put up in one day.

I am selling my property and needed someone to undertake for me a number of small jobs to get the house into a better state for viewings. The jobs included filling the holes around some external pipework, painting a canopy over the front door, replacing a little area of missing grout in the kitchen, replacing a kitchen cupboard's hinges, securing two sagging curtain rails, replacing a shower hose and investigating a leaky shower along with a few other things. Rob attended promptly to give me a free estimate for the work and was then able to complete the work within two weeks. He worked efficiently producing a quality result. He was pleasant and friendly and left the place clean and tidy at the end. His price was £185 which I thought very reasonable for 5 hours work. He comes strongly recommended by me.

I found Rob (House Force) via Which? Local. I am very happy with his work and value for money. He fixed several doors in my house which I had been told were big jobs by another tradesman. However, Rob fixed them all the doors within a couple of hours. He also re-fixed a curtain rail which my 3 year old son had pulled down. I will be using Rob again for small and big jobs.

Rob is a considerate and efficient worker. Nothing is too much trouble. He was able to finish rebuilding my antique summerhouse which I brought from my previous address. It is now the pride of my garden. He has also done some remedial decorating inside which I am very pleased with. He is happy to take on those smaller jobs that installers don't want.

We discovered HouseForce on ???Which? Local??ù. Rob came promptly, understood our slightly unusual requirements and provided an good written estimate. We agreed a date and he started as planned, and keeping us informed during the work. Our parquet floors had just been sanded and varnished but we should not have worried as they were successfully protected. Our dining room, lounge, hall and landing are now beautiful, woodwork was varnished and fireplace tiles repainted. Rob was a pleasure to meet, always cheerful and happy to answer all our questions. We have no hesitation in highly recommending ???House Force??ù for redecorating work.

I found rob on this website. Rob came promptly to give an estimate as promised. His estimate was both reasonable and clear. He did a huge variety of jobs for us in one day, working without a break and leaving everything in perfect order, all jobs done and everything cleared up and taken away. Apart from that he was a pleasure to meet and to have in the house and I cannot recommend him too highly: a true model of a good, professional tradesman.

Needed a series of 'smallish' household jobs done: a small set of shelves built, some doors trimmed, some large heavy mirrors hung. Rob fitted the jobs inbetween others that he had on so that he could do them quickly, and charged a very reasonable rate for a package of work. Gave me some good DIY tips along the way as well. Very reliable and would not hesitate to use him again.

Decided to try Rob due to the reviews on this site and could not be happier with his work. Rob has renewed my bathroom which included fixing taps, painting the walls and doing the flooring. Then I got him replacing some internal doors, and putting in spinals on my staircase. And then he replaced the downpipes by my gutters and cleaned my drains. Rob also sorted out my neighbour's fencing. I used other handymen and not only does Rob do a great job, his quotes are very reasonable and I haven't seen a person work so long and so hard. Really impressed that I am getting him to do more jobs for me.

I have used Rob on two occasions so far. To help me out with some small jobs when I had just moved house (fitting curtains rails and fixing things to the wall etc.) He then came back to do some larger jobs - removing a large built-in unit, fitting a new garden gate (with frame) and laying a garden path. His work is excellent, quotes were very fair and clear, and he's a really nice guy. Would definitely use again, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

We have used Rob twice: he did a day's worth of small jobs for me when I had broken my wrist, and we were delighted by the quality of his work and reasonable charges, and also his flexibility taking on work at very short notice. Then, we asked him to redecorate our kitchen/diner. He came within two weeks of quoting for the job, finished it in the two days he'd estimated to a very high standard. Nothing seems to faze Rob, and he is a congenial guy to have around. We recommend him without reservation.
