Tradespeople

Recommended tradespeople – people who are handy to know

You’ve just moved in and found the guttering is leaking – who do you turn to? It’s tricky knowing who to use when you move into a new area. Recommendation is always best which is why we would encourage residents to nominate people they have used for plumbing, decorating, window cleaning.
