now you really do need to get your facts Mike your wife kept phoning you up whilst you were working for me and then you was getting aggressive and I asked you what the matter was who was that then you said your wife how she gets on your nerves keep phoning you and bull shit about the 40hrs you put 2 3 tiers shelves up for the greenhouse and one potting wooden table you jept on telling me don't send the greenhouse back I can do it even though it only had the instruction page for the base several times you said don't be sonegative I knew that you couldn't do it fix it up but you insisted you got the 100. 00 what you asked for for putting my swing seat up you were going to charge 70 but then said 100.00 max so I said I will make it up to a 100.00 if you sort out the washing line which has now come out of the wall so I am still afraid to use my washing line and as for coming to your home that was to see why your wife seem to think that the twice that I phonesd about something the first time she shouted something and when I phoned the 2nd time only twice anyway and she shouted something again when you have a trades man in your home/garden working his wife kept phoning it was a hot day so I am not in charge of when he comes out to work for people but when hois wife phones or anyone whilst their work and then when they come of the phone ow she gets on my bloody nerve keeping tabs on me Im no a little kid if you are doing that in front of me then it makes it my concern and yes I am still thinking of writing your wife a letter because if you don't like rudeness them tell your wife not to be rude to your clients so you got your money for the swing seat ant the washing line which has come out of the wall now / ground for the 3rd time now do you people think that I am made money 3775 I have just paid to have my garden and now I am spending more money to put it right Hall mark drives done it the first time money done for the swing then you wanted 300 for putting the greenhouse up with NO INSTRUCTIONS AND YOU KNEW THIS FROM THE BEGINNING because you were the third person that tried one from this bark actually both from bark and both Trevors from Southampton they couldn't do it one even wanted to take the shelving home with him to do because I didn't supply a work bench the other one not sure I think he wanted his weed so get your fact right MR M L so you say 40 hrs if it took you that long is it my fault we agreed an amount for you to do the things so what is your problem the greenhouse you have cemented the 4 legs into the ground but I need to send the greenhouse back it cost me 299 so 300 and to build the shelves which you did and the only reason you took so long was when you left mine and came back the next time you undone something all of the time then put it right in other words you done it wrong the first time then you put it right so that is going to take longer you knew you couldn't put the greenhouse up so why waste time with it you told me that it was going to cost to down load it yet when I asked you for the number so that I could phone them you wouldn't give it to me and one more thing your wife does not know me either so why was she rude to me and I asked you what did she say after you had been so very aggressive over the phone towards me and remember when you even came to my place when your wife was supposedly in hospital I said to you what are you doing here if your wife is sick it sounds like you make me out to be someone nasty when the only people I see that are nasty is these people on here pretending that they are professionals when they really are not bark should allow us customers to let people to the bad work aswelllets face it the pictures poele place on here how do we know that they are theirs the pictures of their work so this is my side of things this person would of got the rest of the money when the green house was up but he just kept thinking that he could fix it up so I am defending myself as for your wife I do not want to phone a trafes man up that is working for me and be abused over the phone by their wife that was why I said what I said but how disgusting leaving your wife in hospital heart probs yet you went out for a meal a night or so later yet you put on all this to me I actually think you take too much on and when it gets too much for you you take the people that are paying you the most although you are working fr someone else at the same time so can I ask why mike when I have just advertised again you replied let me answer to you now I DON'T WONT ANYONE'S PROBLEMS I HAVE ENOUGH OF MY OWN JUST SOME JOBS DONE BUT I WANT THEM DONE TO A GOOD STANDARD THEN I DON'T HAVE TO GO AND GET ANOTHER FEW TO PUT RIGHT WHAT THESE OTHERS HAVE MESSED UP DISGUSTING OVER 4GRAND AND I AM STILL DOING MY GARDEN FROM HOW THESE PEOPLE HAVE LEFT IT ACTUALLY 5 NOW SO PLEASE MIKE LAWRENCE DO NOT ANSWER TO MY ADVERT AGAIN BECAUSE SEEING YOU HAVE CEMENTED THE LEGS OF THE GREENHOUSE INTO THE GROUND THEY MAY NOT REFUND ME MY 300 SO YOU HAVE HAD WELL ENOUGH MONEY FROM ME AND AS YOU KNOW WHEN YOU PUT MY SWING SEAT COSTING WELL OVER 300 YOU SPLIT IT PUTTING THE SCREWS IN AND WE ARE NOT JSUT TALKING ABOUT A TINY LITTLE CRACK IT IS ACTUALLY 1FT 5 INCHES LONG BRAND NEW IT WAS HANDYMAN MIKE AND AS FOR THE WASHING LINE HE CAME FOR A FEW MINS CHUCKED A BAG OF CEMENT DOWN AROUND THE POLE AND LEFT IT AND NOW IT IS LIKE MOUNT EVEREST PLUS THE BRACKET HAS COME OUT OF THE WALL IF ANY OF YOU PEOPLE SO THAT YOU DO NOT FALL INTO THE SAME TRAP AS ME I WILL GIVE YOU MY ADDRESS I DON'T MEAN WARN YOU FROM JUS TTHE ONE PERSON I HAVE 3 PICS ON MY PHONE OF ONE PERSON SPENDING 45 MINS DONE SOD ALL I HAVE A PIC OF HIM PEOPLE SAY ITS LOOKS LIKE HE IS ASLEEP SO IF YOU PEOPLE COME TO DO WORK FOR US AND WE PAY YOU OUR GOOD MAAONEY THEN AT LEAST DO A GOOD JOB AND NOT WHAT BARK SAY ONLY SOME TIMES THEY GET BAD WORK FROM PROFESSIONALS IS SHOULD BE GOOD ALL OF THE TIME JUST THINK IF OUR DOCTORS AND NURSES CONSULTANTS THOUGHT AND WORKED LIKE SOME OF YOU DO AND ARENT SOME OF YOU TOO OLD TO WORK WHO PAYS FOR THE INSURANCE IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG OR YOU OR MYSELF OUR INJURED BY YOUR WORK WHO LOOKS AFTER US I MEAN COME ON 3775 AND I AM STILL GETTING PEOPLE IN IT IS ONLY A COUNCIL HOUSE I GOT SOME MONEY AND THOUGHT THAT I WOULD MAKE MY GARDEN NICE SO DON'T WRITE EXCUSES DOWN ON HERE BECAUSE SOMEONE IS WILLING TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT SOME OF YOU WORKERS SOME OF YOU JUST WANT OUR MONEY I AM A PENSIONER FOR CHRIST SAKE IT'S ALRIGHT FOR YOU RICHY ONES PROBABLY HOW YOU MAKE YOUR MONEY THOUGH SO I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO

this person charged me a 100.00 to put a swing seat up which he split the wood screwing it in to tight this was over 300.00 then he put up 3 3tier shelves for the greenhouse that he was going to put up he got as far as the base but he knew that he could not do this because there was no instructions and then I was moaned at because he said that he spent time and money on down loading to try and get the instructions knowing that they were in german but he said if he was to download 45/65 pages then the last 4/5 had a picture and he could copy that I wanted to send the greenhouse but but he insisted that he could do itso he fit the base into the groundand cements it in and it is still in the ground now well the 4 legs are and he cleared of 2 weeks ago now and the washing line he just chucked another bag of cement on it and then left so mount everest and very untidy looking mess and now the washing line is coming out of the wall he put a chain around the pole so this is now 4 / 5 peoples from bark that really are a bloody joke so I am waiting to send the greenhouse back but the legs are cemented into the ground the are supposed to be professionals not idiots

Im not prepared to enter a slagging off reply but I feel I should defend myself. I am the THIRD profesional to down tools and leave her home without finishing the jobs due to her vile, aggressive and rude attitude, that tells all something about her. I worked for over 40 hours in that very hot period assembling a swing bench, three table, cleared her garden and put in four corner posts and base for greenhouse in concrete. At the end she gave me £100 . 00 and thought it was too much. I spent £23.00 on materials. Final straw was when she sent me texts slagging off my wife that she had never seen, met or spoken to that finalised my decision to walk. She had NO instruction for a greenhouse assembly and I also spent three evenings up to 9.00pm searching on internet for instructions in english as the greenhouse was German. She has also threatened to visit my home

I am very impressed with Mike’s service, he has definitely exceeded my expectations. He was the first person to contact me, he provided a follow up call to check if my furniture had been delivered, he arrived early for our appointment and completed the job perfectly and in good time. He was friendly, professional and I highly recommend Mike and will be utilising his services in the future. More...

I found him to be really reliable, and carried out all the work he promised and on time. He turned up when promised and left the house very tidy, I have used him several times before and his work is
always of a high standard.

Q&As

Meeting different people on each job. And when the job is complete, being proud to say , Yes I completed that, most of my work is from recommendations.

Because I had ambition and companies did not appreciate my completed work.

Because I am methodical, not the quickest but thorough. I guarantee that you will be happy when I have finished the work
