The quick way to find a local Traditional Craftsperson in Cottingham

Reviewed by Crispin on 11/11/2024

After leaving my original review: “The tradesperson cancelled with just 30-minutes notice, despite being in contact the day before. A complete waste of effort and time on my behalf. It seems this also happened to another reviewer on Google too.” I received a further phone call from Darren, leaving me a voicemail complaining about the honest review using foul language. I suggest proceeding with caution.

Robert Heilds came to give me an estimate. He was clear about what was necessary and gave me a fixed price for the job. We agreed a date and time and when he was held up, he contacted me to let me know and attended as soon as he could. The job was completed as I expected and he told me to get in touch if I had any subsequent problems. No problems so fae!

-10 Do not use a guy from Grimsby called Ryan. Felted small shed roof, very few roofing tacks used and was not sealed down. No removal of old felting only patched up. Blown off within TWO Weeks was a total Botched Up Job, quoted £500 then told needed another £200 after job done...Just taken advantage of an elderly man.

Wayne contacted me at around 4.15pm to give me a quote to move some garden waste. I accepted the quote which was extremely reasonable and he was there within the hour. Friendly and efficient. Will most definitely use again and recommend.

I can only rate on the prompt, courteous and professional service as far as the quote went. We could, of course, choose only one of the three and we did in the end decide to go with one of the others but Paul was a close second.

Babs was very personable and the plastering he did was fine, but the decorating was a disaster. He got emulsion on the woodwork, floors, kitchen cupboards, boiler and window frames; woodwork paint on the walls; didn't caulk any gaps or cracks; didn't paint into the corners; the kitchen paint wiped off completely with a damp cloth; painted door frames with a roller, leaving bits stuck in the paint. I could have done it MUCH better myself. A dreadful job that cost me £1000 to have it all redone. HU5

Fence was not finished to a high standard. There was a 1 meter gap left at the end of the fence. At the other end the panel was cut down to size but not capped off, just wedged in. 1 year later part of the fence had to be redone. Tried to contact the company after and they failed to respond.
