"We found Richard on Trust-a-trader when looking for someone to help refurbish a house to rent out. Richard came round to have a look and went through everything we asked for. He gave us a reasonable price (not too cheap and not overly expensive). One good thing was that he didn't want anything "up-front" and only charged us after items had been delivered. Communication was excellent and he always told us when he was going in the house, and sent photos of what he was doing. Would we use him again? Absolutely! We just wish he would come up to Yorkshire for our next project!"
