Recommendation for a Carpenter (already rated on edf)

[Terrapin14]

He's been mentioned on this forum - Nerris bucius on 07875 046753 - and has recently built two large cupboards and floating shelves around a chimney breast. I'd like to add my name to those who recommend him,

I've used this site to get quotes from various tradespeople as well as the website of the federation of master builders. I got five quotes for my carpentry work all of them through recommendations on edf.

nerris stands out for the following reasons:

- he answers his phone, replies to voicemails and texts promptly

- he turns up when he says he will (& when u are waiting in the house with a baby, this really matters)

- he provides a detailed quote broken down by labour costs and materials (btw, I'm still waiting for a quote for some other work from an fmb rated bromley based big builder since APRIL. Even the office lady is becoming a bit embarrassed. ..)

- he is keen to work and quotes just as promptly for further work. (I wish the bromley builder would just be honest and tell me the work is not their bag, instead of spending an hour measuring things...If any tradespeople are reading this, why don't you ask more questions before saying yes to coming out and providing a quote? Surely it's a massive opportunity cost to you guys?)

- he wants payment at end of the job.

- he's competitively priced

- motivated and quick (stops for glasses of water only!)

- does a good job, a really good job

Another recommendation for Nerris, he fixed my French doors for me over the weekend. Very reliable, turned up on time (early on Saturday morning), even phoned me to check that the price of the new locks he was picking up were OK with me. And he did a very neat job.

Another recommendation for Nerris, good price, reliable, punctual and a very nice guy. He planed a couple of doors for us and fixed the locks in no time. Will use him again. Thanks

I would also like to recommend Nerris. A realy friendly guy who's standard of work is unquestionable.

He has just layed loft boards down in my loft aswell as adding extra support to the water tank up there.

First name I will consider next time I need a carpenter. Would also put his name forward to family and friends!

I used Nerris to fit my kitchen but would definitely NOT recommend him. He rushed the job and left us with kitchen cupboards that were uneven on one side. He blamed this on old Victorian kitchen walls but having spoken to various other kitchen suppliers and installers since, this was just an excuse.

He may be fine to make a cupboard but I wouldn't trust him for anything more complex.

Now three threads on the same carpenter?

Yes so people are all aware depending which thread they see.
