I wouldn't recommend the Sash Guy. We had one window redone with double glazed sashes and had to get him back 3 times to refit it, either because he had left gaps that were so big I could push my finger outside, or it was too tight to open. I wasn't impressed with the sashes that were incredibly soft and fresh wood and I don't expect it to last. The window was primed before we received it, but he hadn't knotted any of the knots, so those are already showing through the painted window (Dulux weathershield). The glazing is poor and you can see plenty of dust inside the double glazed units. The muntin isn't fixed to the window (it is a single pane per sash, not two) and is already warping and coming away from the glass. He used excessive amounts of caulking, some of which were spread around the window and some furniture and it took a lot of work to get the the windows in a state where I could finish painting them. I definitely wouldn't use him again.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
