Summarised with AI
Both Frederic and Stefan were great. Professional, good communication, punctual, reliable, polite, reasonably priced, and job well done. Highly recommend this company!
We are extremely happy with the work completed by Fred and his team, and we will definitely be using their services again in the future. His team painted our kitchen and carried out several additional jobs around our home. Throughout the process, Fred was responsive, professional, and very easy to communicate with, which made the whole experience smooth and stress‑free. The work itself was carried out by his colleague, Nas and other team member, who also arrived promptly and was a pleasure to deal with. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with the service provided and would not hesitate to contact Fred first for any future work
Great service - I highly recommend! Nas visited to do some odd jobs that we didn't have the tools for. Professional, friendly and great, honest value for money. As a woman I felt super comfortable and confident. These guys will be my go to now whenever I need something done. Thanks Nas and Fred.
Freddie did the work for a good price and pretty quickly after I first contacted him. I left him with the keys to my flat to complete the work while I was out of town. He left the place as he found it, nothing damaged or stolen, so top marks for trustworthiness!
We are extremely happy with the work completed by Fred and his team and we will definitely be using their services in the future. Fred arrived on time to look at the work required. He was very polite and friendly and provided a detailed quote within 24 hours. The quote broke down the costs of materials and labour, so it was very clear to see exactly what we were paying for. It was Fred’s colleague, John, who actually did the work. John also turned up on time and was extremely pleasant to deal with. He did a number of carpentry jobs for us, all of which were done to a very high standard. We would definitely recommend Fred and his team.
I was very impressed with Freddy professionalism. Everything promised was delivered. I had new tiles in the kitchen as well as a feature wall completed. I also had a blind installed, curtain Poles erected and some electrical work done . All completed to a very high standard of work. I am very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Freddy and his team to my friends and family.
Fred and the team have done an excellent job painting, woodworking and tiling Lovely friendly people who take great pride in their work
My biggest regret was not knowing Fred 6 months ago! Such a lovely guy. He came for 1/2 a day. Fixed all the jobs we discussed before and then fixed a load of jobs we hadnt discussed! So happy and totally recomend to anybody wanting good old fashioned amazing service and professionalism. Thank you so much Fred!
Fred is amazing. He has just finished his third job for me and I am already making a list for the 4th! The first job he painted above our landing, installed coving (as well as in 3 other rooms), hung a door, made lots of general repairs, replaced some tiles, moved our double doors forward an inch. He was friendly, tidy, hard working and finished his work to a high standard. The 2nd job was refurbishment of a rental flat, he made lots of repairs and decorated throughout - the flat was transformed and Fred was quick and again finished it to a high standard. The last job Fred and one of his guys put up more coving, decorated a ceiling, put numerous bits up on walls for me, painted a room. The best part was our patterned wallpaper that I asked Fred to hang on my ceiling - IT LOOKS AMAZING! He also managed to fit a blind I got made to measure slightly too big! He honestly goes above and beyond. We had a water leak due to a crazy placed tile, Fred repaired it all and looking at the ceiling now you would never know. He isn’t called the recommended handyman for nothing - as I’m constantly recommending him!
Fred has done a number of important jobs around the house and garden, including roof cleaning, grass cutting, external painting, woodwork repairs and more. He did an amazing job, and we really appreciate his help! Fred is extremely hardworking, knowledgeable and friendly, he works fast while paying great attention to detail. He is also very flexible in accommodating your schedule. He definitely is a recommended handyman!
Fred painted exterior of the house. He done an amazing job, couldn't of have asked for more. The house looks so good now. Thank you Fred.
Fred painted the exterior of our house and installed a loft ladder. His prices are fair and very reasonable and the quality of his work is high. Fred was very responsive and professional, so its easy to see we are very happy with his work and would definitely ask him first about any other work we wanted done.
Fred is an excellent find. He is punctual, thorough and does the job to the highest standard. Most importantly, he is honest. His pricing is reasonable and he leaves the place impeccably clean after the works are complete. We first found him back in 2014 for getting our sink fixed. Since then, we have often relied on him for a number of jobs around house from fitting the blind, to bathroom tiling and other fixes, to painting. He has always maintained fantastic work ethics and great quality at reasonable cost.
We are really glad that we found Fred as he is an outstanding handyman. He came to do several repairs at our house and was really quick, efficient, and professional - we have already recommended him to several contacts in the local area. We were amazed at how many different services he can offer and also the speed at which he works too. I have no hesitation in recommending Fred and will use his services 100% from now on for all future repairs.
We have been using Freddie for the past 5 years his work is to an excellent quality, he is punctual, tidy, well prices and friendly.
Fred is a professional handyman who is able to turn his hand to most things from decorating to repairs around the house and garden. His prices are realistic and fair and for work which is to a high quality. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services.
Super happy to have found Fred many years ago when we were redecorating our previous home. Over the years he's done many different jobs for us, always with the same professionalism and reliability. I highly recommend him!
Fred was extremely professional and hardworking, he remodelled our bathroom to a high standard and within a reasonable time frame. He left the house clean and tidy and has competitive rates. I would certainly recommend him to friends and will use his services in future.
Fred has decorated our house and has done repair jobs such as repairing wood flooring, mounting a fire surround, fixing doors. We could not recommend him more!!! His work is of an excellent standard, he always put a lot of thought into finding solutions, he was quick to respond, punctual and reliable.
Thanks to Freddie for multiple handyman jobs that he has done last year which were decorating our stairs, sorting out electricals, retiling bathroom and fixing grout. Replacing Bathroom tap etc. A wonderful Gentleman, always smiling and a positive attitude.
Handy Freddy has been amazing over the past 6 year through our last three houses, he has fixed and laid floor, put up multiple shelves, assembled multiple Ikea and other flat packed goods, built cupboards, tiled internally and externally, put up TV brackets and even repaired jobs from other terrible handy men. Me and my wife only trust him to help with our homes.
We have used Fred on a number of occasions for a variety of jobs. We have always found him to be honest, hard-working, reasonable, reliable and friendly and he ensures his work is to the highest of standards. We can't recommend him enough and will continue to use him in the future.
Waiting on this clown for 7 days. Promises one thing, does another. Unreliable and untrustworthy. Avoid.
Fred's a nice guy who got the job done with minimum fuss. Happy to recommend him and I'd use again for any other minor jobs around the house.
I have used Fred's services twice now. His work is excellent. Very highly recommended!
I used his services for one day and he achieved far more than I expected. The tasks included replacing a floorboard, fixing a tap, fixing an outside wall and filling holes in a wall. He did a fantastic job!
We found Fred a very good and hardworking tradesman.Very happy with all painting and repair work.A pleasure to employ and would not hesitate to recommend his services to friends and relatives
Reliable, gets the job done. Clears and cleans the area used. Friendly. Highly recommended A+ service
Freddy is very straightforward about what he can do and when. He's been completely reliable keeping to his appointments. He has found creative solutions for tricky little problems and skillfully checked out whether these were right for us. We were particularly pleased with a bespoke wooden gate and a wooden threshold over an awkward step leading from the landing to our bathroom tiles.
Freddy was prompt, professional and very tidy. Highly recommend his services.
