He does both hard and soft landscaping and general garden maintenance like moving the lawn, cutting hedges and looking after flower beds.

| Tradesman | I would recommend him as a very honest, hard working English speaking Bulgarian. His skills include plastering, plasterboarding, preparation and painting and general labouring work. He has now worked in several properties on the estate. Our Company refurbished 14 Hillway in 2005 for my family to live in. Georgi’s work included laying paving (front and rear), plasterboarding, plastering (entire top floor) as well as a whole variety of general building tasks. He painted the entire outside of the property with lime based paints in 2006 and the inside of another property on Hillway about the same time. I have worked with Georgi (in both the UK and Bulgaria) and know his family well. 14HW |

| Pest eradication e.g. wasp nests |
Recently I had to find someone to eradicate a wasp nest. Mick came swiftly; caused no damage, even thought he had to get onto the house roof through a less than easy roof-light. His charges was reasonable: 20% less than three other firms had quoted as their call-out rate. He works alone. I will certainly call him again if I have any more pest problems. 31MA | Mick Morrison Major Environmental Services 12aLowfield Road NW6 2PR 07976 981 471 |
