Fence putter-upper, and he does other stuff as well!


Recommended Posts

I was looking for someone to put up 5 metres of fencing and I searched the forum. I found a post that responded to someone else's enquiry for the same thing, specifying they wanted a 'real-world' price as supposed to crazy ED prices and someone had responded to that so I got them round to quote. They quoted a very high day's labour charge for TWO people to put up this little bit of fence, which I found ridiculous, so I carried on looking. I got a PM from TandTGardening and Tom senior (they're two Tom's who work together) came round and quoted for the job. He seemed like a very decent chap and his quote was very reasonable, not expensive, not cheap- just fair. I was a bit worried at first that I couldn't find many recc's for them on here but in the end I thought, 'what the heck, 70% of the recc's I've used have been dreadful anyway'. So, Tom came round and did a very good job, polished the lot off in 5 hours with no fuss at all, picked up all the necessary materials, cemented the posts in etc etc- which makes it even more ridiculous that the other bloke tried to say it needed two guys together for a whole day. So, my new fence looks very nice and is holding up perfectly in the windy weather and I have no hesitation in recommending Tom. He says his son does the gardening stuff and he does the 'heavier' jobs which involve a bit of building skill with the cement etc.

    • Thanks for the link Dave. For clarity, the document shows that he receives the standard basic allowance all councillors get and a Senior Responsibility Allowance commensurate with the post he held. He claims no other allowance or any expenses as far as I can see... which makes me wonder what your point might be?
