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.

Shocking work. We paid £3,400 for a brand new bathroom with new flooring throughout the home and this builder James Baker who runs under various business names from J W to The Dark Spark electrical in Spalding has destroyed the bathroom and his so called friends have placed a worthless and extremely shoddy bad job. A 5 year old could do better. We are now taking legal action after a flooding, no work for 2 weeks and wall panels that are such a bad job we have to get a new bathroom fitted.

Sorry for the late review, Szergej! The original job was just fitting skirting, trimming doors, and matching architrave on a new frame. Szergej was efficient and turned up on time to quote. I also asked about fitting IKEA cabinets into alcoves to look built-in—he gave me a price that evening and came back two days later to fit them. He did a great job. Really pleased with the finish. I’d definitely recommend!

Excellent plasterer and renovator. Years of experience in all aspects of building works. Confident and competent to transform any property. Passion for gardening/maintenance of properties inside and out.To me the first impression is a lasting impression. Most small jobs can be estimated via pictures makes life simpler for most working people. 50% of the job as a deposit to secure a job and 50% when finishing Is usually expected. Of course there are Exceptions for different jobs. Thank you very much for reading have a fabulous day.
