Post by: theseeker on July 07, 2014, 10:12:59 PM: To be honest, I wonder how accurate and reliable the information you gave are true. Simply I gave Graham a try and that was like nearly over 2 weeks now. To be fair he said he was busy when I first contacted him but then I told him the job is not urgent and that can wait for another month or so, plus he came highly recommended! Ok, to cut a long story short, in between, I have made 1 call, 9 texts, 2 emails and arrangement for a viewing was made only for him not turning up BUT texting me like 3-4 hours after the appointed time with an excuse that he was down with flu. Now that's fine afterall we do get sick. Anyway arranged for another viewing only for him to text on the appointed day saying he has to go out? And the third attempt, he texted me to say he can't do it but when I suggested some dates, no response??? Plus when I sent him two emails, he claimed his email was playing up too? Now I am beginning to wonder whether he was playing me or what? OR whether you guys were making all this up? Well judging from my experience, anyone who don't know him and wants work done by him, I wish all of you good luck, provided he bothers to turn up in the first instance.

Can anyone recommend a good handyman and painter decorator? I have been renting out my flat in SCC, and it's a right state from the various tenancies. Looking for someone to help with sorting lots of things out. (bathrooms, window sill replacing, grouting, new lining paper, painting ). Saw the last posts on here are a few months old....
Thanks

Post by: TSH on August 19, 2016, 03:17:38 PM: Hey all,

Was wondering if there is a basic handyperson in the area. Just simply to put up 6/87 wall photos hangings in Sail Court, Virginia Quay?
Flexible with time/rates.

Thanks,

Trush
