Antique unit repair
£250
Woodford, Greater London

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!

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’.
