Gary recently completed an external job on my property, which included fixing my roof, painting windows, front path and all masonry walls. From the start, Gary was clear and communicative and provided a competitive quote very quickly (which was stuck to). The chaps that did the work were clean, polite and experienced. The job has been finished to a very high quality, with great attention to detail. I certainly recommend him. Gary's number is 07572588222

Adding another recommendation for Gary and his team. This is the second time we've used First Choice Decorating, and they did a good job at very short notice for us. They were here to redecorate a couple of rooms in the house, and then whilst the team were working on that our toilet cistern sprung a leak! Gary was able to fit in the necessary repairs for this around his existing jobs, which was very much appreciated to ensure we weren't left without a working toilet for too long!

We're happy with the work they did, and grateful for the quick turnaround. I'd definitely recommend contacting Gary for anything you need doing.

I recommend Gary and his team (Tony, Jason), who recently completed a whole refurb of our bathroom and delivered excellent work. There were a number of unexpected challenges throughout the job as it was a very old bathroom in a Victorian property, and Gary was able to provide expert recommendations and guidance throughout.

Gary was also able to get in contact with expert tilers, plumbers, and electricians who could support on different aspects of the job - the tiling in particular was outstanding.

Gary and one of his team (Tony) recently completed an en-suite bathroom refurb for me. There were a few unforeseen issues due to the underlying previous/original shoddy workmanship but which Gary found solutions for. So the job took a bit longer than anticipated but we got there in the end!  We are pleased with the standard of the work and would recommend.

I would like to add to the recommendations for Gary and his team. They were able to sort out a few minor issues (that other companies said they were too busy for and would only have capacity at some point in early 2025) within a short space of time. Gary kindly liaised directly with my tenants which is such a bonus as a landlord. The work was finished to a high standard and there was plenty of communication throughout.

 

Thanks Gary and team! Sarah

I would recommend Gary, who recently re-did our downstairs toilet to a very high standard with his team, especially Tony, putting in a new vanity unit, toilet, extractor fan and new tiling. The job was slightly trickier than planned because the previous builders had cut corners plumbing in the old toilet, which Gary put right at very little extra cost, enabling us to move the new toilet further back, and creating more space in a very small room. The other builders we contacted were either vastly more expensive, or just didn't reply - probably because it wasn't a big enough job. Contact on 07572 588222

Another vote for Gary and his team.  Gary has just completed decorating a bedroom and painting a new understairs cupboard that I had fitted.  The work was completed to a high standard with loads of preparation work, my ancient skirting boards look like new!  I am very happy with the work and he will be back in the new year to do some work in my bathroom.  Highly recommend.

Gary and his team have just completed the restoration of our front facade, along with extensive repairs to our roof on our three storey victorian house. They have done an incredible job. The quality, care and expertise they have brought to this project has been excellent. Plus they have been a lovely team of people to work with, keeping us fully updated on progress and costs. My only issue is that we didn't meet them sooner!  We will definitely be working with them again and look forward to future projects. I cant recommend Gary and his team enough! Thankyou First Choice and thank you East Dulwich Forum.

    • I was just in Japan and yes can confirm it's a lot cheaper than here. The flight was pricy, as was some of the accommodation. However, once there everything else was dirt cheap. We had some really nice meals at £5-6 for a main, though you can obviously pay a lot more. Beer/wine/coffee were often around £2. Public transport was great value - £3.50 for a day pass on the Tokyo metro which is massive, albeit more if you want to use the overground lines. We didn't do much shopping but Uniqlo (obviously a Japanese chain) was around 40% cheaper than here, plus a bit more if you go tax free. It is I imagine a lot easier for the non-Japanese speaker than in the 1980s. I survived for two weeks with little more than "thank you" and "cheers". Most people we dealt with in shops/restaurants/hotels spoke some English, and signs/announcements/ticket machines often have English translations.
    • Another positive review for Simeon, friendly, prompt and professional.  
    • I don't blame him..I'd love to live in Lewes! Shame its so pricy tho.
    • As mentioned above, one needs to request TW specifically in writing to be witch to metered paying system, they will not do it automatically despite forcefully installed water meter. From our experience, we benefited a lot by switching, even with watering our small garden occasionally.
