I wouldn't use Check-a-trade since a very bad experience with one of their recommended companies. After a very badly day executed cleaning job, I tried to post a negative comment. Check-a-trade wouldn't post it until the company had tried to make amends, and such is the power of the negative publicity that the cleaning company offered to waive the cost of the job if I would retract my comments. I refused, but it was weeks before my comments were finally recorded on the Check-a-trade website.Meanwhile, I have just found a gem of a handyman who is efficient, pleasant, responsive and reasonably priced. He is Darek Olenski whose business card reads "shelves, furniture & locks installation, plumbing, electrical, gardening, odd repairs". His mobile number is 07903 503937.
