Another recommenedation for Steve. I have used him for a number of jobs over the past few years, I know he will do the job very well at a reasonable price and I can trust him with keys. Steve cleared our new garden which was quite a task and suggested options for dealing with unwanted trees. I am really pleased wih the work done and how tidy everything was left at the end. I will certainly be giving Steve more work in future.

Just to add to the recommendations for Steve from D.G Services

He recently painted 2 rooms and a hallway for me, I havent had such a professional Service provided

We are SO happy with his approach and work which is truly excellent all round we couldn't be more happier.


We are going to call him back soon to sort our garden out as he does all types of gardening work.

Another recommendation for Steve at DG Services. He recently redecorated my whole flat (and has done some other jobs over the years). Great attention to detail and trustworthy - I gave him a set of keys for 2 weeks. Also very reasonable quote compared to a few others I had. Highly recommended by me.

I would like to suggest Farmer Will, local company who have worked in our garden on a couple of occasions, for fencing and they put in a new lawn in the summer. Still looks great and we've booked them in to repair a part of patio that is broken. They are really, really fast, it was like a 'before and after' from the time they arrived in the morning till the time they finished at night. Good prices too, we shopped around.

Yes - I'd recommend Steve too. I needed someone to dismantle and dispose of an old bed.. he was lovely to deal with, quick and fuss-free. Fair pricing. I plan to use him again later in the year when I'm ready to get the flat redecorated..

Another recommendation for Steve! He has given our garden a complete makeover and it now looks amazing. He also completed some painting and got our house ready to sell. We have been coordinating this from Sydney and he was extremely easy to deal with. He couldn?t have been more helpful and kindly also took delivery of a carpet. He updated us with photos and answered promptly to any questions. He was speedy and very reasonably priced too. Thanks Steve!

Hello,


Lots of great recommendations on here, but I'm afraid I can't marry them with my recent experience of working with Steve. Issues with communication, timeliness and some quite strong demands of money upfront.


He did mention some temporary health issues and those may be mitigating circumstances for the above, but was left unimpressed.


Feel free to PM if you'd like more details. Don't wish to be unfair to the guy but I did have a few alarm bells before he began, which I quietened through the previously good feedback so want to just provide a bit of balance.

I wanted to add another glowing recommendation for Steve / DG Services for garden work to the forum. Steve was super easy to work with, really lovely guy, very fair prices and really went above and beyond.



I was trying to find time to source and buy yorkstone & grass etc while juggling a busy job and Steve was a life saver - essentially making the whole process much, much easier and checking in regularly.


He cut & laid the heavier than usual patio stones and grass seamlessly.


Couldnt recommend him more - and the garden looks absolutely brilliant. Transformed and all in time for summer this year. Thanks Steve!

Steve has recently painted a one bedroom flat for us. He's done a brilliant job, returning several times to perfect his work (at his insistence, not ours!) He has been lovely to deal with, from beginning to end. He has stayed in very close contact with us, always updating on progress. We highly recommend him!!

    • Well that is good news… alternative would have been homeless or private.
    • I was lucky that I received a student grant from 1990-1995 first 3 years for degree and 2 years post graduate bursary. Both were based on my income and I did not have to pay back. Eldest daughter got student loan and after 20 years managed to pay it off, Youngest daughter still paying hers 18 years later. Granddaughter - still paying after 6 years. Grandson decided against FE and secured an apprentenship. I am glad that I am an old codger and not young anymore !

    • It is not only Southwark - our grandson, partner and 7 year old had a one bed council flat for years in Harlow Essex and all the properties offered were in poor condition. They eventually took a property as if they refused another one they would drop to the bottom of the Housing List. It was damp and in need of a level of renovation. Having lived in these conditions for a while they were offered better council accommodation recently, but further away from child's school. They had to pay 2 lots of rent for a few weeks as council had to undertake work in the new premises before they could move in,
