Both Martin on the electrical plus general other jobs side and his wife Carol on the painting side were excellent. The quality of both their work was top notch and they clearly took a lot of care and attention over their work and ensured that everything was of a high standard. Plus they didn't stint on the prep work which is where many other people fall down. They are both also very friendly and approachable and they took care to ensure that they understood exactly what we wanted.

Martin and Carol did a fantastic job and I'd highly recommend their decorating services. They were very friendly and professional throughout with great communication. I was really pleased with the quality of their work and how tidy they left the place each evening and will definitely use them for any future projects. Thank you both :)

I am so very pleased that I found Lidgey's Property Maintenance on Rated People. Both Martin and Carol were fantastic, as was the communication throughout my entire flat renovation. They undertook a number of tasks, such as a full paint through and other urgent maintenance tasks, and managed to take a very sorry looking flat and transformed it back into a home. A very professional company and one that I would both highly recommend and would happily use again. Thanks Martin & Carol for everything you did.

Martin rewired my whole house. His wife Carol decorated superbly. As an electrician I'm sure Martin is excellent, however he was also keen to take on plumbling, carpentry and tiling - all of which he did badly and slowly. I am confident that the electrics are v. good as Martin is a perfectionist. I regret having employed him to do more than this because the job was ultimately too big for him. Martin became somewhat controlling and bullying towards the end and we had to agree to leave the work unfinished.

A great team! We were lucky to have found Martin and Carol. We initially asked them to redecorate and they were very helpful in provided advice on colour schemes based on our ideas. We found other work that needed doing and they we able to take on these jobs, making the entire process painless and seamless. Thoroughly recommend them.

Everything you hope for in employing someone to do work in your house. Open about what they can and can't do. Will certainly employ them when we next need help.

Prompt initial and ongoing contact-which to be fair isn't at all common in my experience with local trades people! Martin was polite and friendly sorting the job quickly and professionally and at a good price. Thanks Martin, definitely recommended!

Martin did an excellent electrical install to an outbuilding. Reliable and thorough. Exactly what he quoted. Would use again.

Martin and Carol were very efficient and friendly throughout and the quality of their work is quite superb. We couldn’t be happier with their decorating and Martin also fixed electrics and did some general maintenance. Their advice was very helpful and communication excellent. They finished on schedule and all was left immaculate. We would recommend them unreservedly.

Martin signed off electrical work, installed a supply to our outbuilding and tested all circuits in the house. He was very competent, knowledgeable and straight talking, which is refreshing compared to my previous experience of other tradespeople. He also provided help over the phone several times prior to his visit. I will be calling upon him again in the future and would definitely recommend.

Started well but deteriorated over time. Some work had a poor finish. He has completed the job. He charged £200 a day, also charged £200 for his wife and £200 for a plasterer despite the plasterer invoicing him £160 a day, increasing his own rate to £240 day. When challenged i got an aggressive response and a threat to increase the final invoice by £2000 for planning, ordering supplies and emailing if I didnt pay. i would not recommend or use again I should have got a written contract I feel very let down.

It's said a poor review is a reflection of the reviewer, not what's reviewed. My previous ratings and reviews will support this. For those reading this I am sure you can be trusted to decide for yourself. In 42 emails and 8 text messages from this client there is no mention of poor quality. Indeed, Andrew agreed that I might use his home during my annual assessment on the 13th of June. His message following my assessment was "of course it went well your the best". This rating is because I asked to be paid!

I paid every invoice without question within an hour of receipt each week. I had several conversations about costs rising and budget, yet was still deliberatly over charged by £40 per day. I paid the final invoice within 24 hours in full despite being threatened with an additional £2000 if i didn't pay. Poorly fitting sockets, fittings and switches were discussed as part of a snagging list but not resolved. I had no issue with Martin until I discovered the over charging. Now I feel bullied and let down.

We cannot praise Martins work more highly. All you want in an electrician : he was thorough, sensibly cautious, and ready to explain all that he was doing in language we could understand. We would employ him again without hesitation.

Hi Sophie. Thanks for the message/review. Having checked through the 61 emails you have sent and the 84 text messages as well as the daily on site briefings I’m afraid I have been unable to find a single reference to poor workmanship. I have however found quote-thank you for your beautiful and thoughtful work 27 Aug, and -The tiling looks great Martin-19 Aug, -As you know I have been very happy with your work- 17 Aug. These would suggest that there is no problem with the many extra jobs undertaken as
TRADESPERSON, 15/09/2020 07:19
you requested. I think you may be confused as to the difference between good work and unfinished work. Yes, the tiling and woodwork are unfinished and the bathroom sink (plumbing all in place and working perfectly well) needs to be hung on the wall. These unfinished works are completely due to your disregard for my and the rest of the populations safety and health quote-When I get back on the 24th I will be in quarantine for 14 days, however to walk over on a weekend day when you are not there just to

to look and think shouldn't be out of the question as long as I don't touch anything-17 Aug. Apart from the legality of the action you proposed to take you were unwilling to offer an assurance that this would not happen. My decision, with your agreement, to finish what could be done before your return was therefore the only one I could take. I leave the reader to their own conclusions regarding 2 ½ stars.
