So, on Saturday, we suddenly had a leak through on to our bedroom ceiling, with water falling onto our bed. In a panic, we messaged friends to try to find a reliable plumber who would be able to help. My oh my, did we need help. One of our friends suggested Nico; she had been a client of his for a while and recommended him very highly. Nico was unable to come during the day but said that he would visit our home in the evening. The flow of water had stopped but we kept our fingers crossed that he would turn up and that he was affordable. Nico arrived just when he said that he would, climbed up into the loft and then he explained what he was going to do and why. We agreed, the source of the leak was sorted and he gave us advice about how we could make sure that it was unlikely to happen again. The price of the work was totally reasonable and we are genuinely grateful for his intervention. We intend to use him again and would always recommend him. Aside from his highly professional behaviour, his social skills are outstanding, he is a kind and thoughtful man. Dear Nico, thank you. -

The failure of the council year on year to prevent the corporate take-over of our precious public space is appalling. The consultation process this year is deliberately dumbed down and takes the form of a survey with a range of anodyne tick boxes designed to give the appearance of a 'consultation' without requiring any hard comment or information that could be used to oppose the survey. It may be possible to get some answers from Gala themselves so I will try to do that and post here if anything forthcoming. -
Avoid Acorn at all cost. Appalling service in every regard. We were involved in a sale and they repeatedly made procedural errors that delayed, and almost tanked, the sale. As buyers, they knew literally nothing about the property and were unable to answer even the most basic questions. Instead they simply lied rather than saying they didn’t know any information which caused issue in the long run. I hear only positive things about Truepenny’s.
