Testimonials

Below is a selection of testimonials for Seahorse Property Services demonstrating my professionalism and high level of standard working on carpentry, groundwork, decoration and tiling. Nottingham Tradesman Builder.

' Joe worked on a few projects for us over several weeks. We had two rooms decorated, and some outside paintwork. In one room he blocked up a window and wallpapered over, and it’s invisible! Every aspect of Joe’s work is impeccable; his attention to detail on both the wallpapering and gloss work was extremely high. We’ve had many compliments from visitors and staff, with a few asking for Joe’s details to contact him for their own future projects. He’s also a really nice person, polite, easy to deal with, punctual, as well as a very skilled professional. '

' Joe has replaced our island kitchen cooker hood after the last one broke.

He quoted a price and rough timescale to complete the work and within a week was doing the job for us. 

On the day he was very tidy, friendly and did the job within the time quoted. We are extremely pleased with the final result and the job Joe did.  After talking to Joe about the other areas of work he carries out I wouldn't hesitate to contact him for any other jobs that need doing. '

Tom, Long Eaton. 2019

 ‘ Joe Dix recently painted the exterior of our house, and we are very pleased with the results. The house is nearly 100 years old and the exterior woodwork is a mixture of original woodwork and more recent additions.  The fact that the paintwork had been neglected in recent years meant that the work would need more than a quick sand and paint job. Joe's thorough approach struck exactly the right balance between protecting surfaces and achieving a fine appearance.  In particular we were delighted with the way he made good any woodwork which had deteriorated, planed frames which were sticking, and treated the wood where needed to prevent further rot. Joe uses first-class materials and applies them skilfully. He is also very reliable, flexible in approach and the sort of person you are happy to have around. I have had no hesitation in recommending Joe to friends, and they have also been very pleased with his work. ‘ 

Mr G. Minikin, Beaconsfield. October 2013

 ‘ Seahorse Property Services carried out some internal improvements to the Shopmobility premises in High Wycombe. The work was carried out in a most efficient manner minimising the effect on the service we provide. On leaving the premises at the end of each day all rubbish was removed and the work area left clean and tidy. We were very pleased with the quality and cost of the work carried out and would have no hesitation in recommending them ‘

Mr David Griffin, Manager High Wycombe Shopmobility. Spring 2012

‘ Joe is quite simply the most competent, careful and painstaking tradesman who has ever worked on my house. I fervently wish that he was still living in my area because he’s proving an impossible act to follow. ‘

Richard, High Wycombe. 2017

 ‘ Thank you very much for the fine work you put in installing a 60ft back garden fence at my property last week. I am very pleased with your work and the way you left the garden nice and clean after the completion and as you went on with the works. I would like to say that the workmanship and attitude of this good all round building property services firm is of a very high standard indeed. I would have then back in the future for any more property upkeep that needs attending to on my property ‘

Michael, High Wycombe. April 2012 

‘ I have known Joe Dix for twelve years and have found him reliable, straight forward and a hard worker. I live in a 100 year old house with a mature garden in a Conservation Area and have an on-going requirement for jobs that require more than basic care and maintenance. I have employed Joe usually once or twice a year for projects that last from 2 days to 2 weeks. Prior to starting a job we will discuss what is involved in some detail and then he goes ahead. In addition, he will use his initiative and stop a job and discuss if there is a snag or a better way of achieving the same result. I have been surprised that he has no formal qualifications as he certainly understands general building principles and related trades. I have recommended Joe Dix to friends and acquaintances and never received a derogatory comment on his work or his attitude. I have no doubt that he will continue to expand Seahorse Property Services into a thriving business ‘

March 2012 Update - Refurbishing downstairs toilet

‘ The original toilet had been installed in October 1985 shortly after purchasing the house and was looking tired and in need of serious refurbishment. The room was only two and a quarter square meters and needed careful design in order to maximise effectively the space available. Our general ideas were fine tuned by Joe and he advised us which units would fit the space and these were selected from the Bathstore catalogue. Floor and wall tiles were chosen not only for their visual effect but also for the practicality of installing in a 100 year old house with sloping wooden floors and walls that had moved slightly over time. The result is a modern downstairs toilet that blends perfectly with an old Thames Valley house. Well done Joe for your expertise and patience.’

Mr John Parkinson, The Abbotsbrook, Bourne End. May 2012 

 ‘ I have known Mr Dix for a number of years during which time he has carried out numerous tasks in exemplary fashion for both myself and family, and I have no hesitation in recommending him highly to any future customer '

Mr Waite, Chinnor. April 2012

 ‘ While we were on holiday, we left Seahorse Property to plaster the ceiling, tile the floor in the kitchen and decorate several rooms in the house. We were pleased on our return to find work completed, everything clean and back in it's place ‘
