Fred was fantastic and was exactly as I needed. White glove handling of all pieces, laser measurement tools and took his time to get everything exactly right. If you have art work that needs an expert eye with a mathematical mind and state of the art equipment then Fred’s your guy. 10/10 service and quality!

Antique unit repair
£250
Woodford, Greater London
21st May 2025
After it was damaged in a house move, we need an antique unit repaired. It bowed under the weight of boxes, and one side needs nailing back into place. The metal legs also need reattaching, alongside the pieces of wood to which they were attached!


Incredibly happy with the work Mark has done to rescue our antique unit, which we thought might be a goner. He also helped me move it - not an easy task itself! - to its new place in the house, and fixed up some historic damage too. Hugely grateful and very pleased!

Cann Hall, Greater London, E11

Please read before committing: Radiator has half-come off the wall. It’s an electric radiator that still works but the bracket has bent and screws have come out of the holes. I think it needs securing to the wall that looks like it can be done with either new holes or filling existing. Hammer to straighten the current bracket Power drill or right tills to put back on Need it done tonight (after 6) or tomorrow before 12:00 Thanks!


Would use Giedrius again in a heart beat. Repaired and fixed my radiator back to the wall in less than 5 minutes

Roof maintenance
£150
Warley, Essex
8th Nov 2021
My single storey extension roof has leaking issues around velux windows. I am not sure if there is just maintenance required around windows as roof has a shallow pitch or if there is a bigger issue. I cannot therefore accurately estimate budget. If there is a tile issue then will be more expensive. This was looked at 3 years ago and ‘fixed’.
