Beware!

Just wrote a really long account of my bad experience of employing Gary Skinner! Decided not everyone needs to read that so deleted it, but if you're thinking of employing him for anything other than painting/decorating - my advice is DON'T!!!


Pm me if you want more information, but in short he's unreliable, arrogant and extremely rude! Quoted me a high rate for doing various jobs he said he could do, but later decided were beyond his skills. That's fair enough, but I wouldn't have employed him if he had said that at first. Was very worried he could turn nasty, so called in friend when it was time to sort out payment.


Probably ok (or even good) as a painter/decorator, but wouldn't recommend him as a general handyman! Having said that, his bad language and unreliability would prevent me recommending him to anyone I know for any type of work.

My apologies for your disappointment , admittedly a few personal issues at home didn't help which I do not wish to discuss, but I have many other very happy clients past and present on here, rated people, which decorator, amongst other sites and areas. I'm sorry you felt the need to share this and I can only apologise whole heartedly, and should have maybe not taken on some of the specialised jobs you asked me to do , I.E welding and metal fabrication and washing machine repairs, at the time I did not antisipate these to turn into more skill full repairs than first expected .. Kind regards gary

I wouldn't recommend Gary either. We found him unreliable and rude, lots of excuses were made, and it was overall an unpleasant experience having him in our house. We are not happy about the quality of his work either, some of which we had to re-do ourselves. I also called Dulux to report this, only to find out that he was no longer a Dulux decorator, despite his claims. I understand that having problems at home may affect his work but does not justify him being so rude. K

      So I've done a little more research into the current use of the word, I hadn't realised it had latterly been used to describe anti Muslim feelings. Still don't like the use of the word. These are horrible times and am fearful for the future.

      Oh I didn't realised Starmer had used the word. I don't mean they are stirring up division between themselves (ie between Reform and Greens), I mean they are stoking division within communities, and stirring up racial prejudice and religious discrimination. That is sectarianism, in my view.

      Franklins is being sold

      Just to repeat the news I was given – it's not being converted into a pub. As far as I know, there's no intention of dumbing down their restaurant offering.  Although as others have pointed out, Camberwell has two pubs – The Camberwell Arms and now the Michelin-starred Kerfield Arms – with excellent food. The Palmerston used to be the only pub in ED that was of such quality, but sadly no longer IMHO.

      The country is in a real state.  What worries me about the Greens is encouraging migration and openly offering benefits to all with visas.  Where is the money for that coming from?  As if there is spare money, as if there is growth. Where I their holistic manifesto, ensuring funds are available and this is sustainable, and regulated? Incredibly dangerous and idealistic
