Steve did some painting for us last week. An outside wall and a bedroom


He did a great job and was very friendly and polite as well as very reasonably priced.

He also turned up when he said he would when he came to quote and both days he was painting.

I would also like to recommend Steve. He recently painted our bedroom and did a great job for a reasonable price. He was able to do the date I wanted, was on time and was very tidy and reliable. We will definitely be using Steve again for future decorating jobs.

Hi, I would also like to recommend Steve (d.g.services) for garden work. He painted our fence, cleared the garden and Ivy at the front of the house. He worked with a colleague Kate and they completed the work within the day and their quote was very reasonable. I will definitely be using them again in the near future.

Have a good weekend(tu)

Yet another recommendation for Steve (DGS) from me - he re-turfed our lawn and removed shrubbery etc and generally tidied up the garden - inside the house he and his colleague did a fine job painting, plastering walls and ceilings, filling cracks and touching up. Inside and out he did a good job for a reasonable price.

Steve has just completed an excellent job in our garden - laying gravel and weed protection in a large area that was thick with weeds as high as the windows! He cleared the area, lay the stones and left the garden immaculate.


Very reasonably priced too - I would definitely recommend Steve and the DGS team.

I had Steve and Kate over again yesterday. He laid some vinyl tiles on our kitchen floor and did a few other bits and pieces. I am very pleased with the job he did on the floor; very neatly laid and thoughtfully done. They also assembled an ikea bookcase and fixed it to the wall super-quickly too.

I also had the pleasure of Steve working in my garden today. He worked solidly for 5 hours, mowing, clearing those ubiquitous white wild flowers, pulling out and chopping up a tree which had substantial mould on it, and planting out some things I had bought in both front and back gardens. He was a delight, as he worked consistently, and conscientously, always asked questions when not sure, and did everything possible that he could have done in one day. I look forward to having him as my ongoing garden maintenance man.

I wanted to add another recommendation for Steve and DG Services. He returfed and tidied up our garden on very short notice (calling that evening to assess the job for the next day) and worked really hard to source suppliers and materials. He and his coworker were a pleasure to have around and put in a really hard day's graft and left the garden tidy. We are loving using our "new" garden and so glad we got it all done.

    • It was an absolute shit show. And so much anger coming from both sides, not becoming at all (was surprised how riled cool Rishi was getting).  Agree about the format, it was lazy, whatsherchops wasn't asking pertinent questions, she was just going for binary yesses or nos. The producers didn't force either side to drill down on anything, just make commitments so they got good soundbites.  If I hear 'my father was a tool maker' / my wife's a nurse / my father was a GP one more time... as if any of those things qualify anyone to fix / understand anything. 
    • Good.  Subsidence claims generally have an excess of £1000 per claim, but was yours higher?
    • Indeed, many house here have had or will have subsidence issues so one needs to bear that in mind.  Many houses here have shallow foundations but they have been around 100 years or so without too much issue. What the surveyor has told you doesn't feel like a 'red flag', more of a sensible warning.  Bear in mind that although the surveyor is nominally working for you, their focus iln reality is mostly on the lender and the risk of being sued, either by them or you.  So they are always pretty cautious.  It would be wise to get a 2nd opinion, eg. from a structural engineer.  Or talk  to the original surveyor directly as they may say more than they are prepared to put in a report.  It's a little difficult from the description to identify what the situation is but the scenario in which part of a property has been underpinned and the rest has not is fairly common here.  The proximity of trees is likely to be the main thing to be concerned about, particularly after the hot summer of 2002, as insurers generally regard them as risky, especially if they are not cut back from time to time.  A second surveyor can advise directly on this. It would definitely be worth trying to take over the current buildings insurance.  Indeed, it may be quite hard to find new cover.  Enquire what the current premium is and who the policy is ultiimately underwitten by (ie. is it a name that you have ever heard of?)  The insurance industry, in general, works to a guideline that the insurance of an underpinned property should transfer to a new owner.   https://www.biba.org.uk/insurance-guides/home-insurance-guides/subsidence/
