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!!

    • If you’re into nature or just love trees, this lovely program is worth catching up on https://www.channel5.com/show/the-secret-life-of-trees It’s one of those quietly fascinating watches that leave you thinking about the world a bit differently. I had no idea that trees are connected underground by fungal networks. They use them to share nutrients, water, and even to send signals to each other. They can recognise their kind and give more support to their “relatives” than to other trees nearby. They can also remember things like droughts or pest attacks and change how they respond in the future. No wonder so many cultures and spiritual traditions view trees as sacred. In some belief systems, cutting one down is thought to carry serious karmic consequences. When you learn about how they live, communicate, and support one another, it makes sense. The natural world is far more aware and interconnected than we tend to realise.
    • I installed an all-in-one air conditioning unit at my holiday home since I wasn’t allowed to have an external fan unit outside. It actually works just as well, was easier to fit, and although it’s slightly noisier, it’s a good solution overall. https://www.orionairsales.co.uk/all-in-one-air-conditioning-142-c.asp?srsltid=AfmBOopZSVZj1_utAO-Hr4m5M323nRZru6Zmf1YuT4KP2touJ2OLaruU
    • Having enjoyed a day with Sayce HolmesLewis, I understand what you’re saying.  I appreciate your courage responding on here. 
    • Thank you to everyone who has already shared their thoughts on this. Dawson Heights Estate in the 1980s, while not as infamous as some other estates, did have its share of anti-social behaviour and petty crime. My brother often used the estate as a shortcut when coming home from his girlfriend’s house, despite my parents warning him many times to avoid it. Policing during that era had a distinctly “tough on crime” approach. Teenagers, particularly those from working-class areas or minority communities, were routinely stopped, questioned, and in some cases, physically handled for minor infractions like loitering, skateboarding, or underage drinking. Respect for authority wasn’t just expected—it was demanded. Talking back to a police officer could escalate a situation very quickly, often with harsh consequences. This was a very different time. There were no body cameras, dash cams, or social media to hold anyone accountable or to provide a record of encounters. Policing was far more physical and immediate, with few technological safeguards to check officer behaviour. My brother wasn’t known to the police. He held a full-time job at the Army and Navy store in Lewisham and had recently been accepted into the army. Yet, on that night, he ran—not because he was guilty of anything—but because he knew exactly what would happen if he were caught on an estate late at night with a group of other boys. He was scared, and rightfully so.
