Kept me informed. Explained the job in lay person terms. Very clean, neat and tidy when job completed. Honest too - I paid for 1 days work; above job was completed quicker than expected so he did a few extra jobs that needed doing as well. He would be my first contact for future work. Would highly recommend.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!Delighted with the work Hemal did for me. Replacing two taps, new bathroom extractor fan, new plug socket, repair to internal wall from removal of tv bracket, dishwasher, plumbing & water pressure checks. Responded within minutes of posting the job, gave me good advice, arrived next day, got all the jobs done promptly and to a high standard. Clean, professional, polite, good price. Highly recommend. First time using Rated People, really happy.
Claire
A quick, efficient and friendly set of guys. I had them in to clean and paint my mums fence, and then she asked them to do some jet washing and further painting around the garage. All in all, great value for money. My mum was very happy with the work ethic and outcome. If she’s happy so I was very happy. We’ll definitely be calling them back in at a later date.

I feel fortunate to have found Bartek and his band of builders. They have done some excellent work for me, very tidily and well done, and the price was fair. I recommend him without reservation.

Hi I’m Ricky of third generation electrical, lets start with the name.... so as I’m sure you’ve guessed I’m a third generation electrician following on from my grandfather and father. We have over 100years experience in the electrical trade under our belts combined and I grew up helping out both my grandfather and father to earn my pocket money. Now at the age of 35 and nearly 20 years experience myself I’ve decided to set up third generation electrical and put all the knowledge we have gained to good use in and around Bristol, the company is new and it’s just me working atm but who knows where we could be in 2019?? One thing I can promise is I will always be somewhere when I say I will and I’m very punctual also cleanliness is a must so will always have a dust sheet and tidy up behind myself. Thanks for reading this description and I hope you pick third generation for your job but even if you don’t I wish you all the best... Ricky Howell

Mark did an absolutely fantastic job on the outhouse. We discussed cost all the way through and he was super helpful, very professional and the job is immaculate. Can't recommend him highly enough.
As my first project I needed someone I could trust who would help and not railroad. Merv was honest and upfront and always found a solution. I absolutely LOVE my new bathroom. I have already recommended him to 3 of my friends. Thanks for your hard work.
Experienced carpenter with 16 years experience , loads of jobs completed and many happy clients . All work fully insured and one year craftsmanship warranty with all installations made . many thanks
We told Pedro what we wanted and he did some CGI images for us, we chatted on the phone about stuff and also things we liked. His attention to detail was brilliant, he worked quickly and kept us up to date with the projects development with pictures. Nothing was too much trouble, and we couldn't be happier with the completed job. In fact we have divided this project in two, phase one is now done and we will start phase two early next year. He is Clean, Tidy and a lovely guy. Cheers Pedro
