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.

My name is Anthony Gritton. I am a hard working, reliable man. I have been in the building trade for the past six years. I do fencing, decking, sheds, driveways, patios, grass cutting, general maintenance and more.
Very clean, tidy fair and efficient service. After completing the original job to such a high standard (building a large pergola and replacing one row of fencing) I employed Anthony to replace more fencing to enable me to eventually enclose my garden to keep my cats contained. I wish I had known of A Gritton Garden Services before employing another firm to landscape my garden as I would have given him the job !

We have the home we wanted so we are happy with the job. It wasn't just refurbishment, but constructive changes took place and also rooms were remodelled, ceiling constructions were redone and new floors were laid down. The new wall frames were built according to our specific request and in the end we were satisfied by the final job as well.

Straight away I felt comfortable that he was very professional and thorough with his attitude and work. From just a freshen up project, this became much bigger project as damp had ripped through the whole property. He replaced joists and most floorboards, resolved leaks, removed damp, installed new kitchen along with the 'freshen up' and much more. His knowledge and contacts were invaluable and he managed this all. Always kept me aware of costs and timing. I would recommend him to anyone. Roy McAloon

Hi I am a carpenter, specialising in all aspects of carpentry and property maintenance. Including new kitchen installs, replacement of internal doors, stud walls, skirting and architraves. With a friendly reliable service.
Karl and Nigel were punctual and efficient. They attempted to mend my garage door before having to admit that the only solution was a new door, which Karl ordered for me. Once the door had been delivered they very quickly completed the job. Both very helpful. The outcome is a completed professional job. I will have no hesitation in contacting Karl for any other work I need to have done in the future.
We at L.R.B offer a full range of services. We take pride in offering competitive services at competitive prices. Services ranging from painting and decorating to general home and garden maintenance. I have many years of experience in the construction trade.
Kieran has been brilliant! Priced the work and time and completed it as he said. Excellent quality of work, professional, polite and very friendly! Would highly recommend and have already booked the next job!
