Handyman

I hired Arthur to install curtain rails and some shelves on the wall. He came in with some of the material he needed missing which he then went and bought from a nearby store. He installed the curtain rails and I thought they looked good until I checked later on and noticed they were a bit wonky. Next thing he installed were some small shelves on the wall. One of them was done well, the other one he struggled with and ended up drilling a massive hole in the wall that could not support the shelf. He attempted to fix it but he wasn’t able to so the shelf became useless basically as one of the screws was very loose and I had to take it down and face the damage that was done to my wall. Tried getting in touch with Arthur to see if he is able to fix any of the issues I mentioned but he never replied. Do not recommend. More...

He told me that he offers plumbing services. Came to my house to change the pipes under sink which was not leaking (I prefer new one), to stop two small leaks of the washing machine and the overflown pipe of the boiler. However, it took him from 9:45 to 20:30 dealing with chaging pipes under the sink. He also used my bread knife to cut the pipe and cut himself. He lied to me that this happened before coming here, but then he went to St James hospital without a word (I had to call him). His blood was still in my cupboards. The worst thing is when he changed the pipes, a lot of water came out and affected my dishwasher. Now I must change the dishwasher. The overflown pipe of the boiler was still leaking, then I called other company to deal with this. He told me he will come to fix, but not answering any phone calls. This is a scam. BE AWARE!

Fence & Gate Repair

Arthur repaired a few fallen fences on our commercial site in December. The fences had fallen into the neighbouring park. He arrived on time and finished the work with care even in the freezing weather . The fences have not given any trouble since. Highly recommend. Very polite More...

Fence & Gate Installation

I hired Arthur to install a fence at the back of the garden and on the side.

Arthur installed the fence behind a short wall and instead of digging and securing the concrete posts 2 feet into the ground with cement he dug it 6 inches into soil. This left the posts extremely insecure and so dangerous considering the fence panels and the concrete slabs should have been held up by the posts. Arthur also instead of getting concrete slabs to hold up the fence used broken bricks to hold up the fence panels. He didn’t think about how dangerous this would be given strong winds could have blown the panels off and the concrete posts could have collapsed.

Arthur quoted over the odds (approx £400 to install 3 fence panels) for the job which we paid as we thought he would be doing a good job however he used cheap panels even though he charged us for the expensive ones (he claimed he would change them but didn’t when I asked why we didn’t have the strong expensive ones which we paid for). His work left the fence in a really dangerous position which I have now had to pay someone else to come and correct.

Bark have advised me to contact trading standards due to the poor and dangerous quality of his work, using cheap material when we paid for expensive hard wearing material and not returning calls when problems arised.

I didn’t want to write this review as o believe people get their comeuppance however having seen how dangerous it could have been to have left the fence the way Arthur had, I don’t want someone else to be in the same position as me.

I was 9 months pregnant when Arthur did the work so he knew I wouldn’t be climbing over the wall to check.

I just hope he doesn’t do this to anyone else and please hire him with caution.

Reply from Arthur Contracting Services

I have never fitted three panels or panels at this customer. I refused to do work for her because he was just changing the work and did not consider labour costs. she is very rude and see other people as slaves. I will not be but out of business because of the foolishness and stupid of this bxxch.

Really nice guy. Needed my fence repairing after it collapsed following the windy weather. Came the following morning to quote the job and started the work a couple of days after.

Excellent workmanship, highly recommended.

Removal of dense Ivy all over an asbestos garage. The ivy was thick and almost tree like with branches and large roots. Arthur worked extremely hard all day, was very pleasant, and tidied up after completion of the job. He also arranged the skip hire and worked in a timely fashion without any fuss. Would highly recommend his services. More...
