Fence putter-upper, and he does other stuff as well!


Recommended Posts

I was looking for someone to put up 5 metres of fencing and I searched the forum. I found a post that responded to someone else's enquiry for the same thing, specifying they wanted a 'real-world' price as supposed to crazy ED prices and someone had responded to that so I got them round to quote. They quoted a very high day's labour charge for TWO people to put up this little bit of fence, which I found ridiculous, so I carried on looking. I got a PM from TandTGardening and Tom senior (they're two Tom's who work together) came round and quoted for the job. He seemed like a very decent chap and his quote was very reasonable, not expensive, not cheap- just fair. I was a bit worried at first that I couldn't find many recc's for them on here but in the end I thought, 'what the heck, 70% of the recc's I've used have been dreadful anyway'. So, Tom came round and did a very good job, polished the lot off in 5 hours with no fuss at all, picked up all the necessary materials, cemented the posts in etc etc- which makes it even more ridiculous that the other bloke tried to say it needed two guys together for a whole day. So, my new fence looks very nice and is holding up perfectly in the windy weather and I have no hesitation in recommending Tom. He says his son does the gardening stuff and he does the 'heavier' jobs which involve a bit of building skill with the cement etc.

    • That is good to hear. A few years ago I certainly had a hard time convincing two close relatives to give MMR x 2 to their children rather than have six single vaccines done privately as they had been suggested was best by someone in Health Matters.  Glad to hear the anti MMR advice is no longer being given.
    • We recently used Matt and his team to paint multiple areas of our home which have had lots of scuffs and wear over the years. This included repairing paint which was chipping and hairline cracks. They were really efficient with multiple workers tackling the job at the same time meaning the job was completed in a week.  They left the house clean and tidy each night and by the end everything looked great- you wouldn’t have known there were any cracks to begin with.  They were also great at spotting things which were missed by us to be remedied. We’ve had multiple painter decorators over the years and Matt and his team are definitely some of the best we’ve used and would recommend.
