Recommend rubbish removal

If you want any rubbish removed I can recommend John. He is very quick to get back to you and come and do the job. I have used him twice to remove garden rubbish. His prices are very reasonable, nothing is too much and he is happy to help. John is a very pleasant and polite guy. 07904038332

Hi,

I used John after seeing the post on this forum (and signed up now to leave a recommendation). I send him an email on Thursday and he came straight back to me and then drove by in the evening to give me a quote. The price was extremely reasonable and he came two days after to clear the rubbish which was a mixture of all sorts of waste.


Very friendly guy and would use him anytime in the future without a doubt

I would say to avoid John. He may be cheap but only if he doesn't have other work on. As I've just found out in a very rude manner!


He originally quoted me ?150. I had some trouble getting neighbours permission to use side gate as they were worried about mess and damage. So had to ask a neighbour who's drive backs onto our garden.


I got back in touch with John after a couple of weeks. Who then quoted ?300. Even though the job was now easier 6/8 bags had already been moved to the front of the house by my other half. 10 were bagged up in the back garden. So the pile was a lot smaller. We had also proposed that we put the rubble at the back end of the garden to pass through a removed back garden fence directly into his truck (avoiding the need to barrow the rubble 100ft to the front of the house).


John was awful and rude to me on the phone. Told me he could do it if we were ready right NOW. Which we said would be fine if he wanted to help move the rubble to the back of the garden. But if we moved it as suggested by us (in an attempt to make his job easier) then it would need to be later this afternoon. He then said "the thing is love I have work coming out of my earholes" if you can't do it right now then I don't want to do it! He was pretty much shouting at me on the phone. Very aggressive.


The thing is had he said I'm snowed under this weekend. Can I do one day next week. We would have been fine. I don't understand his manner if her likes recommendations and work to continue "coming out of his earholes"


I've used a lot of people off the back of recommendations on this forum. It's disappointing to come across such an awful tradesman.

    • a (clean) nappy/pamper, it was like it had snowed in the garden.  The absorbent stuff inside spread everywhere.  Can I have my gardening gloves back please.
    • They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.
    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
