Fuschia Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I am afraid we didn't have a good experience with Terry at all. Nice enough guy but didn't seem very competent, left every job unfinished or badly done, and left a mess as well. He did two days, which was quite expensive. We have had to arrange a different handyman to come round and finish off the jobs/put things right.

deedee185 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Had Terry come round about a week ago to do odd jobs that my husband and myself could not do.Terry worked hard around the house completing all the jobs asked of him we also got him back a few days later to jet wash all the front of our house and repaint our walls and around the windows and porch. I must say Terry done a fantastic job very clean and tidy and we was amazed at how clean he got the front of our house before painting it.Terry is a very easy going chap very polite and worked none stop.We are very happy with the results and will be getting him back to take on other jobs for us thanks Terry His number is 07717572036 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/28840-clarks-handyman-works/page/2/#findComment-653654 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacks39 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 My first post to echo what everyone here has said about Terry. I found his details on this forum, called him and he came around that evening (a Friday) to do a few odd jobs for me that I couldn't manage myself. He's just come back to do a few more of the same (curtain poles, tie backs, shelves etc - anthing invoving a drill!). He works hard, is very tidy and has a real can-do attitude. Will be making another list of 'Terry' jobs - including putting together some flatpack furniture. Highly recommended.

bumpy Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Have just used Terry based on this forums comments and am so glad not only for this forum which is amazing but also a HUGE thank you to Terry who at very short notice did some painting, sanding, grouting and more. As people have said he's great at his job, hard working, accommodating, polite and very easy to have around the house. Would use him again without a second thought.

ths0105 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I've left a recommendation for Terry on this forum before, but just wanted to add that he continues to be of great help to us. He cleaned our decking today with a pressure washer and it looks fantastic. I can't recommend him highly enough!

Brook02 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I read about Terry on the forum as I wanted someone to come and look at our garden, which was a bit of a mess! I contacted Terry and he came and viewed our garden and gave us a very reasonable quote the following evening. We booked him to do our garden last Thursday and he managed to complete the whole job in a day. He arrived before 8am and didn't finish until near 6pm and he pulled up palm trees, fixed and pressure washed our decking and outdoor table and chairs, fixed our fence panels and fitted a new one and laid over a kilo of cotswold chipping stone, which he had to wheelbarrow from the street! He was very friendly, started work straight away and worked really hard, keeping me in the loop with what he'd done during the day whilst I was at work. We left him with our keys and he left everywhere tidy and locked up for us and the garden really was like a new garden when we arrived back home that evening! I would really recommend Terry.

ths0105 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I obviously cannot comment on Asha's particular case, but we have now booked Terry a few times and he is fantastic and, above all, has always been honest with us.Thanks.

Calvert Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Terry does a great job, he's skilled at carrying out a wide range of work and has always been honest in his approach. I think the consistent good reviews are testimony to that.

KidKruger Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Just goes to show how much potential damage one foul post can do for a tradesman, because someone 'feels' hard done by due to a concern over an hours' work here or there, they are more than happy to post negatively to the entire world.

asha024 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Due to abuse I have received (not from Terry) I have removed my post. Surely the purspose of a forum is to be able to give opinions. However, it seems as if you are allowed to praise people but not be critical.

ed neighbour Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Having asked Terry to help me out over the past few months with a range of jobs, I recommended him to my friend recently who lives in Camberwell - also outside the 'East Dulwich' area, but not too far - she was as pleased as I always am with his efficient approach to getting the required jobs done without any fuss, and to a high standard. I'm posting yet another positive recommendation on her behalf as she's not very computer literate! If you've got jobs that need doing, I'd have no hesitation in recommending Terry - tell him exactly what you need doing before he starts, and he'll sort it all out to a good standard, and quickly.

Fuschia Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I still can't work out why we had such a bad experience with Terry. I did post about on the forum at the time, and we have photos of the mess that he left behind him. So many people praise him, but our experience was very different, and it cost us a lot of money to have work redone and finished off properly after he left our house in a mess. I commission building projects as part of my day job, and I can tell the difference between a competent job and a shoddy one. It's disquieting when you re in a minority, but don't we owe it to others to also share our experiences, if they are less than rosy?

terry027 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 I can't believe you are reporting about work that I never done yes I came round to you and did some work for you but every time I went to paint or something either the wall would fall out or putty would fall away when I explained this to you your reply was to slap some thing up to make good after all you was moving as far you you told me and you just wanted to sell your home.I'm not about's to sit here and let you slag me off after I've work extremely hard to build up a client base.Yes you was unhappy with the work I did do for you but at the same time you didn't want to spend any money on the property that I can't blame you I mean it was falling to pieces after having no money spent on it in about 20 yrs But please you made your point quite a while ago by posting pics of work that I didn't even do but I didn't say anything as I didn't want to cause a fuss. But there's no need to sit and post again 99.9% of my clients are happy What I should say is the people who are willing to spend money on there home to improve or to maintain it are happy with the work I've done for them. But like any post I always thank those who leave feedback so thanks Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/28840-clarks-handyman-works/page/2/#findComment-666866 Share on other sites More sharing options...
