Review of recommended fencing specialist in Orton, Peterborough

Review Date:
13th March 2023

Summary:

Removal of dilapidated garden fence and replacement with new posts and panels.

Comments:

This was not a straightforward job as some overgrown vegetation needed removal before the new fencing could be installed. However this did not prevent David completing the work on schedule despite a difficult start on the first day when his van broke down! He kept me informed on progress right from my initial acceptance of his quote, and he worked efficiently and tidily.

I am very pleased with the result and expect to ask him to carry out another job in the not too distant future. David is a very pleasant man, and I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Review of recommended fencing and decking in Gunthorpe, Peterborough

Review Date:
26th October 2022

Summary:

Complete transformation of garden to include three new fences, two areas of decking and two large planters to each side.

Comments:

The large garden was in desperate need of a make-over and I needed a design that would be low maintenance. It was a big job, as the fence on each side and along the back needed replacing, a new side gate was needed, and the bottom of the garden had an old shed and there was overgrown trees, brambles and shrubs everywhere.

I discussed my requirements with David and he listened to what I said and provided excellent suggestions and advice. He was also extremely helpful when it came to products, as I didn't know anything about the different types of fencing.

The work began by the removal of the old shed and clearing all the brambles and overgrown weeds and shrubs from both sides of the garden and along the back. Old paving slabs were also removed. I thought that I might need a skip, but David said it wasn't necessary and took everything away to be disposed of responsibly (he has a waste disposal licence). This saved me any additional expense.

Decking was installed across the bottom of the garden, three new fences, decking outside my patio doors and three large planters along each side of the garden. The transformation is so incredible, and I could not be happier. All my friends have commented on how amazing it looks.

David is such a genuine, lovely man who is a true professional of his trade. 100% trustworthy and I felt comfortable providing him with a key to my property when I wasn't there so that he could use the electric socket etc. He is also a very honest man as, when he discovered that one of the panels had cracked, he just removed and replaced it and told me what he was doing - at that point I had even noticed the crack! Perfectionist, conscientious and meticulous in his work.

Something else that quite impressed me about David was how he was with my boys. Each morning they would greet him with 'hi David' and he would genuinely engage with them, talking about football and all sorts. He is naturally great with kids and it shows what a wonderful dad he is to his own children.

I have already recommended David to others - I could not have asked for more and will continue to highly recommend him to anyone who requires his services.

Review of recommended fencer in Crowland, Peterborough

Review Date:
25th October 2022

Summary:

Replacement of rear garden fence, including posts and gravel boards.

Comments:

When David arrived on his first visit, to take measurements and provide a quote, he was really smartly presented and this provided me with an excellent first impression.

I was happy with his quote and the job was booked in. During all my dealings with him, I found him to be a genuinely nice man, really lovely to talk to.

It is obvious that he is extremely skilled at what he does. I did comment to him on the extensive range of tools he has - he certainly came well prepared.

I cannot fault David on anything - both from the service he provided, to the high quality standard of his work.

I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Review of recommended fencer in Fletton, Peterborough

Summary:

Removal of an old delapitated fence and replaced with a new one.

Comments:

David did an absolutely wonderful job, and the new fence looks fantastic. 

On the day he started, he removed the old one along with digging out all the old concrete - he then disposed of everything, including all the rubble. His preparation was exemplary and once all the new fence was installed, it completely transformed our garden.

I own the fences on both sides of my garden - on one side, a new fence had been installed about six years ago. David matched the product so that the new replacement would be the same and it is obvious that David's workmanship is far superior to the previous installer - completely level and so much straighter.

David is a very friendly and affable chap. We had great rapport and, during a conversation about old books, he arrived the next day and gave this old book to me and would not accept any money. 

He also showed great respect for our property and when he needed to come into the house, he always took his shoes off automatically.

My wife is normally the worst critic in our house; therefore it is testament to David when she said she is absolutely delighted with the work carried out and was very impressed with David himself.

It is without any hesitation that I can whole heartly recommend David to anyone.
