I called to say that TS was absolutely excellent - thank you! TB Brighton.

I must say we have been very impressed by the service delivered by the 50plus and will certainly put you at the top of our list of contacts and have no hesitation in recommending you to our friends. SW - Thames Valley.

I would just like to thank-you for sending the Handyman over to affix my mirror to the bathroom wall; he made the job that we had tried to do 3 times look very easy which means he must have loads more patience than me! But I am glad that the mirror has finally been placed where it should have been months ago! You offer an excellent and very reasonable service which I will be sure to use if I have any other small problems again. MB Thames Valley

Just to let you know that the Handyman came to my flat yesterday to deal with the faults I'd reported. I was most impressed with his professionalism and his explanations behind the faults and the thoroughness with which he approached the work. Everything was dealt with very satisfactorily.

The Handyman has just left our property having worked non-stop (apart for a tea-break) since he arrived this morning at the appointed time. We want, firstly, to say how impressed we are with the work he did; he was thorough, explained everything he was doing, did exactly was the estimate said and cleaned up afterwards, putting everything back as it was before he started. A thoroughly reliable and excellent tradesman! Please pass on our compliments to him and repeat our thanks to him for a job extremely well done. Secondly, we shall have no hesitation in calling 50plus again in the future when we need further work done and we are more than happy to recommend your Company to friends and acquaintances. Mr & Mrs B. - Marlow.
