Submitted: 07 June 2007 Timeliness: Excellent PROJECT: Flat decoration and bespoke kitchen including wooden flooring Budget: Excellent Quality of Work: Excellent Comments: Finbar is a reliable, trustworthy, highly competent and thoroughly professional tradesman. For our renovation he provided design expertise, a bespoke kitchen, boxing to hide unsightly pipe work and decoration of large parts of the flat. He also saved us time and money by taking the time to provide advice and explanations about other areas of the project. Finbar was flexible and creative, so even when unforeseen issues arose they were resolved with a minimum of fuss. Jobs were completed on time and within the quoted price. I highly recommend Finbar to anyone looking for good quality work that is also good value.

Finbar was recommended by a friend, and we are thrilled with both the design and finish of our shelves - everyone comments on them. Finbar took enormous care over his work, and frankly put the rest of the workmen we'd been using for the renovation of our house to shame. A real crafstman, utterly reliable, and a gentleman too. Thanks again, Finbar, Nicky |

Finbar is an efficient, reliable and skilled tradesman. He is professional, punctual and well organised. He assisted with our design ideas, suggesting alternatives both to enhance the design and to save costs. He was clear about the timescale and costs involved. He explained exactly how he would build the cabinets and went out of his way to keep us informed of progress and make sure that appointments were kept. The quality of the final product was good and the installation excellent. |

Finbar Hanrahan redecorated my flat in March 2004. The work included the repair of cracks in my walls, laying new flooring in my bathroom, general repairs and painting the flat throughout. Finbar showed himself to be reliable, honest and punctual. The work was completed in the scheduled time frame and at the quoted and agreed price. On a personal level, I found Finbar very professional, proactive and pleasant to deal with. I would highly recommend his services to you. Scott Lewis McCabe Tel: 020 7444 3284 |

| Comments: | Finbar was a great guy to have in the house doing work, polite, interesting and you could see proud and passionate about the job he was doing. The work was finished to a high standard and was done on time. He even made me the tea! I would highly recommend Finbar to close friends and will be using him again on larger projects. |

| Comments: | I would thoroughly recommend Finbar and he would also be my first choice for any future projects. He is very skilled and a perfectionist in his work, whilst being practical about how to keep to a budget. As a designer he was able to suggest how to achieve the best results. I had no problems in giving him a key to my house to complete the work. He was personable, very tidy and was happy to come back at my convenience to fix a few small snags. |

| Comments: | Reliable and tidy. Uses high quality materials. Work is of high standard, although built-in furniture was not sized as carefully as it could have been to accomodate the non-symmetrical walls of our older property. Charges reasonable call-out/design fee pre-contract. |

| Comments: | Finbar organised the sanding of two reception rooms and the full painting of our living room and hall/landings for us. Work was carried out on the agreed start date (despite unforseen staffing problems for him) and was completed just over the finish date (but this was not a problem). Excellent service - everything was done completely to our satisfaction. |
