    Can anyone recommend a reputable tradesman, for a decking / fencing project? Around 100 sq.m, including some structural framework, as it will be level-decking across what's currently a sloped bank.

    I'm only interested in reputable people, who can be vouched for. Thoroughly pi$$ed off dealing with tradesmen who just seem to want the easiest jobs, for the most amount of money. I've got no doubt there are great tradesmen out there...I'm just really struggling to find any of them.

    Anyone who starts with 'big job that mate, not gonna be cheap', or 'I'm pulled out at the minute pal, you're looking at 2035 for a start', will be immediately ejected from the premises.

    TIA...

    I don’t think so, it’s him & his Son.

    they do some work for larger firms and some stuff on their own.
