It was a pleasure.

David has put the furniture together well but is like a bull in a china shop. He does not take enough care and he damaged the paintwork in my daughters bedroom. He just said oops and offered no apology. He is a very nice chap but I would not have him back or recommend him to any friends. More...

Apologies if you felt I didnt take enough care or offer my regrets for the damage. Not my normal style.

David assembled 3 flat pack wardrobes for us in record time. He’s a lovely chap with a great work ethic. We will definitely use him again for any other jobs we need at home.

Thank you Raja

Very prompt and professional - would recommend

The picture frames on the wall are not level. The coffee table he built has two holes in the side.
My made to measure gate was made a real mess of it cost me £220 to get it made. He broke the lock and took the pieces away part from this he had hammered in. He left new paintbrushes in a mess he kept coming back to fix and either didn’t turn up or had to leave. He sent me a message saying “it wasn’t his best hour or 3”. I now have to have holes filled in the gate, buy a new lock, have it re-hung and re-stained. Thanks a bunch More...

Hi Toni. Thank you for this Review. As a Tradesman I work very hard to please clients and thankfully, as can be seen from 99% of my reviews, I manage to do so. Regretfully I didnt in your case and as you stated, "it wasnt my best day" which I am very disappointed with.

David was excellent. Worked non-stop until he had finished all the assembly. Very pleased.Thank you.

Thank you Anne, it was a pleasure

Dave responded quickly to my request for flat pack assembly. He arrived on time (actually a little earlier than planned. All good), worked efficiently, did a great job and made no mess whatsoever! Highly recommended! More...

Avoid. Doors on wardrobes weren’t put on straight. Handles not level. Wall and door frame damaged when he fell off ladder and never contacted me back to arrange to repair. Would not recommend

Hi Julia. I’m obviously disappointed about your review. As you can see I have a very high percentage of great reviews and believe my work is normally of a high standard. However I have failed to keep to my high standards in your case. Even though I completed this job over 4 months ago, I do remember it. Falling off my ladder wasnt my finest hour, infact I suffered concussion which lasted over a week and then went down with COVID! No excuses though, I should of returned to correct the work. Regrettably my ‘admin system’ didnt do its job! If you still need corrective action amd are happy for me to do so, I would happily return.

Absolute Legend!
Hard-working, nice guy and definitely great with Ikea flat pack goods. He doesnt even need the instructions.
Built me a double bed with drawers and 4 X Pax wardrobes with many inserts in no time without a break.
Will be using him again. More...

Thanks Dave. Appreciated

I had Dave do some flatpack Ikea items for me and was excellent very friendly and efficient also did some odd jobs while here and more than pleased with his costs, would highly recommend

Dave is a life saver and as he says " strong man" he worked relentlessly without a break and a bleeding finger to complete the work hats off to his craftsmanship would recommend him strongly

Our experience(s) with Dave has been very variable. We would recommend him for basic handy-man tasks including furniture assembly, however, not for electric work, especially lighting.

We just had a professional electrician over to check the half cooked work that Dave had done, and the electrician reported it was done unsafely, and in his words 'thank god for not being electrocuted'. We are therefore disappointed that Dave left our lounge ceiling lights in such a state.

Dave otherwise comes across as a reasonable person however if I may suggest him to be more professional and keep to the initially agreed timings/days as now twice he has changed our dates/times around (perhaps to accommodate his other jobs). More...

Dave arrived on time very friendly and efficient completed the work much quicker than I expected, will keep his number handy for further work

David came on time and got on with the job. He worked nonstop until finishing the job to a very high standard. He is clearly very skilful and experienced. A thorough professional.

A brilliant job carried out by Dave. He's a speedy worker but very personable and great at communicating leading up to doing the job. 5* service.

He is reasonable and very good at his work and that he was very kind

Great service and a job well done thank you

David was very friendly and professional, reasonably priced, fitted my furniture in good time, very happy. Sally.

Quick efficient and friendly - Ikea king!

Thanks Dave for taking a huge task off our hands. David communicated well and timely right from the beginning. His work ethics are perfect.

I totally accept your comments. As I have said to you, the assembly was particularly challenging, being a large wardrobe with instructions in German. The room was very small for the wardrobe which meant it had to be build upright, which added to the challenge. In addition I started the job at 4.30pm, as you couldnt be there before that and I only finished about 9.30pm, 5 hours which I would normally charge £125 but I reduced the cost to £75. I have said I would return to rectify any damage at my own cost.
