 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Arek has been a great help with a couple of pieces of furniture that needed assembling. He quickly made sense of the instructions and parts, and I a bed and bookcase looking way better than if I had tried to do it myself. A safe pair of hands.

He was on time, worked quickly and efficiently. Nothing was too much for him and is reasonably priced too. Super polite too.

I would absolutely recommend him.

It's a long time since I met such a professional,he went above and beyond yesterday to fix a broken window handle for me.
I will definitely be using Arek again and recommending him to family and friends.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Aker; unlike others I had tasked for the gutter repair; arrived promptly and efficiently carried out the work speedily using much less of the materials I had on hand.
The cost of repair was much lower than previous quotes.
I strongly recommend him to others.
He is certainly my ‘Go To Guy’ for all further works I need done.
Aker was polite, likeable and diligent on task. Big thumbs up from me!👍
