Steve Jackson Fencing

Be very careful before taking this guy on to do any work.As requested I paid a deposit by bank transfer.During the work I questioned an aspect with regard to positioning. We had a disagreement but I accepted his explanation.In order to complete the work he wanted a further payment, as he clearly didn't trust me, but he guaranteed the work would be completed to my satisfaction. However it isn't. The job has been left messy and slapdash.He is now acting totally unprofessional by refusing to talk with me. He ignores texts, emails and phone calls.Unresponsive and unprofessional, as detailed in an earlier review.I would be very wary in trusting Steve.

If you were describe your perfect tradesman, you'd pretty much describe Steve.Steve clearly has a passion and natural talent for what he does. He got the balance between giving his advice on design and materials with what we were looking for just right. He collaborated well with our electrician who was providing the connection to Steve's decking installation and even gave vital guidance on where to run cables etc to get the best aesthetics.Steve was transparent about the different cost brackets in materials and what that would mean for maintaining, wear and aesthetics.Steve was clear about timeframes, turned up when he said he would and was generally a great guy to have around in what was a very stressful first few weeks of us moving into a new house.Steve's workmanship and attention to detail is second to none and we cannot believe the amazing space he has created in our garden.I couldn't recommend Steve more and only wish he would diversify his business into internal joinery so he could work on all the other things we want to do in the new house.Thank you Steve for creating a beautiful decking space in our new home, we love it.

Great job Steve from start to finish on a very awkward site .........Excellent and would recommend you to anyone. :)

Great service, very professional.

Asked Steve for a quote for fencing approx 40ft, came around fairly quick all was good. He then done a few calculations on a scrap of paper and came up with a price then asked for £400 deposit despite not giving me a written estimate with the work he was quoting for or a date for the work to be done.Steve insisted on the money and was very quick to invoice for the deposit, yet promised to send a statement of works / quote , a month later nothing and has not been in contact since!Steve should realise trust is a two way street and all too often you hear of builders taking deposits never to be seen again. I could hand over £400 and have no written evidence of what this is for except fencing" or a date for work to commence.As an opposite example

Steve has installed fences along both sides of our garden. He offered excellent advice on the best product for our needs. He was honest with his costing and did an excellent job within our budget.He was courteous and cleaned up efficiently before leaving.He communicated well with neighbours to ensure all parties knew what was going on.Steve also ensured he left a hedgehog gap in the fences to let our hedghogs move between gardens still.An excellent service and highly recommended.

Just had a fence built along the top of a stone wall and 2 gates installed by Steve and he has done a quality job. The end result looks perfect and just what we were looking for. It was a pleasure having Steve at our for 4 days to get this sorted. Top guy, highly recommended.

Brilliant job constructing our new fence. Really nice team . Came sooner than we had expected and did a great job. Had lots of positive comments about our new fence.

Steve took on a difficult job and made it look easy!Nothing phased him and he always arrived on time and cheerful, ready to work. He was mindful of the budget and suggested options along the way. Comes highly recommended! Some nice gravel and plants will finish it of a treat.
