Could improve with estimates and auto-follow up

Managed to find a tradesperson to do my work, but I had to chase them myself to respond, with one time waster, one who agreed to quote, but then couldn't and a third who eventually did a good job, but with no other quotes to compare against, I've no idea if the quote was high, low or about right.

Great job, professional service

I contacted Brighton Rubbish Services to get a quote for collecting a large amount of rubbish in my garden. The quote was easy to get and well priced. The job was carried out within a few days of the quote which was great for my needs. The crew turned up at the arranged time, worked fast and hard and diligently swept up after they finished clearing. The site was left clear and tidy and was all done really speedily. I definitely recommend the company and will certainly be using them again in future.

Swift and efficient

My roof was fully prepared by the team to be ready for solar panels. They were polite, efficient and very diligent. Good advice was given about the state of the roof once tiles had been removed. Pictures of the poor condition of the wood were provided and I am glad that I had the roof fully refurbished.

Would use again and recommend

The original quotation was done within a few days of posting the job on Checkatrade.com. I was in no rush so waiting a few weeks for the work to start was not an issue. Was kept informed of when scaffolding would be erected and installation date. Both teams were courteous and did an excellent job.

Tv aerial replacement

The tv aerial was damaged and making an awful scraping noise on the roof so i contacted ASAP aerials to have it replaced. The company called me back straight away and job was completed within 48 hours, and he also removed some unwanted sky tv cables whilst he was here. Very friendly and efficient, I would definitely recommend.
