Default Nice when a job gets done right!!

Had a few cowboys doing work at my place

But i have just had my guttering, soffets and facias done, took them two days, and they did a fekin cracking job.

No botches, took it all off, trimmed all the joists to get everything squared up, fitted it all up mega need, no need for loads of silicone.

So happy, plus front and rear with downpies etc etc 840 notes I was quoted 1700 by another firm and 1200 by another.

Just had to share my glee

They are going to price my double glazing and roof up, now i found them, they are going to be doing all my work

it could be the old low first price to lull you into a false sense o fsecurity before doing you up like a kipper on the next job
i did my fascia recently using the upvc stuff. bought enough to do my end terraced 3 bed semi with pitched gable for about Ł300ish. hired a ladder and a roof ladder and done it myself in 2 days.
its not difficult if your prepared to give it a try although i admit im a joiner so it does come easy to me
