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.
