Yae'esh Allie of Allied Plumbing provided great service - prompt, efficient and full of sensible advice about problems being experienced with using the water from my rain water tank. His invoice was extremely detailed and although I did not spend as much as initially quoted - I will definitely be using him again.

We have had some great contractors recommended by Fix Forward. Work done includes hanging a door, and bathroom tiling and painting. In our experience, work done was of good quality and contractors have been very professional and helpful.
I contacted Fix Forward as we were renovating our kitchen and needed help with plastering of the walls after the old cupboards had been removed. They were extremely professional after I followed the process on their web page. One of their contracted service providers, Samson (from SNC & Brothers) contacted me and came to give a quote. Wow, what a breath of fresh air! It was such a pleasure working with Samson and his crew, that we asked them to come back at the end of the process to do our splash-back tiling as well. We then needed someone to cut granite for us and again approached Fix Forward. They referred me to Yandisa and we had the same wonderful experience with him and his crew. First Forward will always be my first port of call for any future construction-related needs that arise. Absolutely blown away by the professionalism of their staff and contracted service providers.
Everyone I engaged with from making a request to the contractor who fixed my lavatories, they were responsive, professional and supportive. I appreciated the assurance that their contractors are reliable and professional.
FixForward's proposition of connecting homeowners with vetted, 'expert' contractors, and providing guidance throughout a project, is a compelling one when there are so many dubious tradesmen out there. The social development angle is also to be supported. Unfortunately what ultimately matters is the end result for the customer and in this regard I can only say my experience was a very poor one and I would not use them again. I hired one of their 'hand-picked' contractors for the very simple job of replacing water-damaged exterior timber planks and doing a full repaint. The contractor was very affable and willing but just a few short months later paint is blistering and peeling off in multiple areas and revealing rotten timber planks that weren't replaced. On contacting FixForward to voice my disappointment and request that they provide technical support to the contractor to help remedy the situation, given they clearly didn't know what they were doing, FixForward simply replied that they wouldn't be held responsible to cover any costs (I didn't ask for any financial compensation) and wouldn't provide any assistance beyond offering to refer another tradesman. This outcome is inconsistent with the empty promises they make on their website with the customer left having to navigate themselves out of the mess when things go wrong. Avoid.
Excellent
My outside gate had been dragging on the floor since I moved in in April. After trying various solutions to fix it with a friend, we finally gave up and decided to ask for a professional’s help. I contacted Fix Forward between Christmas and New Year, right in the middle of the builders’ holidays, but they had someone available to assist a couple of days later. The quote was very reasonable and the gate is standing as it should once again. Quality service at a reasonable price, that’s all you can ask for. I’d definitely use their services again for house maintenance projects,
