What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Little Improvements, working across Newcastle upon Tyne, has built its reputation on the varied practical work carried out by Gareth, whose name appears throughout the reviews. Reviewers frequently point to the wide range of tasks he undertakes, from fitting a washbasin and outside tap to boarding a loft, regrouting paving stones, painting garden fences and a shed, and installing engineered wood flooring.

A handful of customers describe his punctuality, noting that he arrives when he says he will and responds promptly to messages, while others highlight the tidy state in which he leaves a work area. Clear quotes and fair pricing are a point that comes up often, with the cost explained before work begins and the final price matching the figure quoted. Communication is another theme, as jobs are discussed in detail and requirements are listened to before any work starts.

Reviewers also mention his friendly and professional manner, his reliability, and the high standard of finished results, whether boxing in a boiler or adding cabinet units to a utility room. Roof repairs, fencing, a shower installation and a front door repair all feature among the completed jobs. The consistent note is of a considerate tradesman who handles a broad range of household tasks.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gareth popped round to give us a free quote, we booked him in for the work, he turned up when he said he would, and completed the work to a high standard for the price he quoted. (Which was very reasonable). Couldn’t ask for more. Would highly recommend.

This company helped me repair some items last year, including roof water leaking, bathroom ceiling damaged tube, gate latch…. However, all of them still kept the problems, even the roof leaking. I need to find another one to do the repairs again. Very disappointed with low quality but high price.

I contacted Gareth via his superb website and within moments got a reply. On the day he came even though he had already worked past a normal finishing time on another job. He soon repaired our kitchen tap then freed off and serviced the taps in our cloakroom. No mess, no fuss just friendly professionalism at a competitive rate, We now know who to use when other things crop up, in fact it's a comfort knowing he can deal with just about anything. Highly recommended, thanks Gareth. Bill & Wendy.

Gareth from Little Improvements fitted extra cabinets units to our utility room. Very pleased with his handy work and excellent service. Gareth is reliable and punctual. We discussed the job and went through all the details to begin with; he listened to my thoughts and was very understanding of my requirements. Following that, job was completed to highest standards. Very pleased with service overall and highly recommended.

I couldn't recommend Gareth enough. I asked him for a quote to regrout my paving stones and paint my garden fences and shed. He came promptly to explain what will be needed, how long it will take and the cost which was very reasonable. He did the job to a high standard and was very engaging throughout. Would definitely use is services again.

I have always had great difficulty finding reliable tradesmen but couldn't recommend Gareth enough- he responded to my enquiry very promptly, came out the next week when he said he would and was friendly, polite and fair with pricing. Will definitely use again for any other jobs that I need doing.
