Hart's Handyman

Hi, was wondering if anyone had used Melvin before for work and as if they had any feedback? We are looking to obtain a quote from him but before doing so wanted to see what people thought of his work etc. Thanks in advance

We have used Melvin for some work in and around our garden, including dismantling a shed with an asbestos roof. Extremely nice chap, very thorough and professional. We were very happy with his work and will use him again in the future. He also provides very detailed estimates so you know exactly what you are paying for. [:)]

Double-bagged and then to a licensed landfill I would hope.

There is a place in Stevenage that you can take it to. You don’t need a licence to work with asbestos, just a waste carriers licence to remove it from the property [8D]

You're right for asbestos cement (which is probably what newboy's shed roof was made of) but to work with asbestos lagging, insulation board and various other more dangerous types you do need to be licenced [:)]

We have just had our back garden re-turfed by Melvin (hence the original email) and can say they have done a good job. We are really please. They offer a very comprehensive quote which is good. All in all a good service. We will be using them again for jobs around the house.
