Reputations are not built overnight
In Referenceline's view, this track record is more important than the ratings. Don't be impressed by a few old reviews which may not be representative.  Look for firms with a commitment to asking for feedback - good or bad - from their customers.  We recommend that you look for a track record of ratings and reviews in at least 9 of the last 12 months and that you should not be too concerned about an isolated negative review.  Ask the firm for their side of the story.
 


 
Good Practice
Businesses have a legal responsibility to treat you fairly, but it's often hard to know what questions to ask or what standards to expect.  They are the experts and you should be able to rely on them to help you make decisions.  These questions explain the commitments that this business has made to follow a code of practice and they will help you understand what you have a right to expect.
 
Charges: 100%
Before starting work, did the firm explain the charges including labour, materials, callout & VAT (as appropriate)?
 
Timing: 100%
Before starting work, did the firm explain when the work was expected to start and finish?
 
Payment: 100%
Before starting work, did the firm explain how to pay (e.g. cash, cheque, etc.)?
 
Reliable: 100%
During the work, did the firm keep their promises, explaining and agreeing any changes about the work, costs or timing where necessary?
 
Invoice: 100%
On completion, did the firm give you an invoice showing the cost of materials, labour and VAT?
 
Guarantee: 100%
On completion, did the firm give you a guarantee for a specified amount of time, or usage (where applicable)?
You can see how many customers have said "Yes" in answer to each question, but please don't expect 100% in every case.  Nobody's perfect and some customers may not be completely sure about the answer.  It's more important that you understand these questions and discuss them with the business so that you both agree what good service means for you.  A responsible business will be happy to explain the details to you and it's always better to clarify these points upfront to avoid misunderstandings later on.

JDS (Jamie) completed work on the front (3 storeys) and the back (4storeys)of our shared property. He prepped everything: sanded, cleaned, filled, replaced, updated and finally painted the whole of the property.

"On first meeting, Jamie was friendly and happy to submit a full itemised quote. We were happy with the quote and proceeded.
Jamie exceeded all our expectations. He was polite, friendly, hard working, meticulous with detail and thoroughly professional throughout the job.
He kept us informed of how the work was progressing at all times and was able to offer sound advice in many situations that enhanced the work.
We were invited to look at the work at any time and he was always happy to explain the progress.
The quality of the work is exceptional. Never painting over old issues but pointing them out to us and fixing them properly within the agreed quote.
During the course of the work, many of our neighbours have been so impressed they are likely to use his services. However we will definitely be using him again as the quality of the work is so high and it's always great to find someone so dedicated and hard working.
Thanks a great job!

Repair & redecoration to the front and rear of the property, including installing bird spikes and new guttering. The masonry jet washed, scrubbed with fungicidal wash, and jet washed again to achieve the maximum potential of the paint. Any flaking paint that remains scraped off, and that area skimmed and sanded smooth. All cracks grinded and repaired with masonry filler, and then sanded smooth and primed. The masonry stabilised before applying a minimum of 2 coats of Weathershield masonry paint. The iron work wire brushed to remove flaking paint, bird guava, and any visible rust before being sanded smooth. Red oxide applied to any rusty areas before having 2 coats of metal shield/Hammerite paint. The woodwork (windows, door & frame); all flaking paint removed before being sanded smooth. Holes, dents, cracks repaired and sanded smooth. Bare wood after sanding - 2 coats of a primer preservative. 2 coats of Weathershield flexible undercoat applied, followed by 1 or 2 coats of Weathershield gloss. Guttering and down pipes will be replaced with deep flow guttering. Bird spikes will be installed.

"Jamie provided an excellent service; he is very conscientious and paid enormous attention to detail, taking great care to ensure that no corners were cut. He explained everything he was doing as he went along. All the work was done to an extremely high standard & we are very pleased with the result; the house looks amazing at the front and back. I think he did a much better job than the last time we had it done.
Jamie is also really friendly & good-natured, and it was a pleasure to have him around. He was also very patient and kind with my 91 year old mother! (this is her house)
The work took a bit longer than the estimated timeframe, but this was because of the terrible weather we had over the summer and was out of anyone's control."
