Services

Whatever the job, it comes with:

  • Experience

    I'm Rob Gates. For nearly 10 years I have been providing a quality service to residential and holiday homes in Kingsbridge, Salcombe and the surrounding areas.

  • No VAT

    I mostly work on my own so I can keep the business small, standards high and prices VAT-free.

  • Free Quotes

    Just get in contact, I'll come and take a look at the job and send you a free written quotation.

  • Clean & Tidy

    I treat your home as I would my own. Before I start I carefully protect or move your furniture and furnishings. I take my shoes off when needed. I tidy up at the end of the day and when the job is finished I clean up.

  • Trade Prices

    I don't put a mark-up on materials. I pass any trade discount I can get straight on to you - with the receipts to prove it! Or if you prefer, you can provide the materials.

  • Reliability

    I'm reliable and honest. Once I start a job I'll stick at it until it's completed. If you're not around I'll keep you updated with photos and progress reports.

  • Tradesman Insurance

    £1m public liability cover

Interior Painting & Decorating

  • Any Size Project

    I provide all aspects of decorating, from ceiling to floor. From a single room to a whole property I can refresh the interior of your property. I'm a perfectionist by nature and like to do a job properly.

  • Preparation

    Preparation is key to a great finish. Surfaces are sanded, filled, washed & mould treated before painting commences. I can patch repair plaster and plasterboard.

  • Sash Windows

    I can replace broken sash cords and get your sash windows running smoothly again.

  • Finishing

    Once I've finished decorating I have a good clean including the light switches and sockets.

Exterior Painting & Decorating

  • Any Size Project

    From a single wall to a house, I have the experience to make the exterior of your property perfect again, from painting masonry to refreshing timber windows.

  • Preparation

    Fungicide is applied to all exterior surfaces and masonry jet washed to remove all traces of algae and growth prior to painting. All cracks and holes are filled and carefully blended in with the surrounding finish. Debris is removed from gutters and all uPVC washed down.

  • Access

    If the job requires scaffolding or a tower to access difficult to reach areas I can arrange that.

  • Jet Washing

    If exterior masonry paintwork is in good condition I can gently jet wash it to prolong the gap between decorating. I can jet wash UPVC guttering, facias, patios and decks too.

Bathroom Installation - VAT Free

  • A Complete Bathroom Fitting Service

    If you need a bathroom fitter I offer a complete service. I can plumb the new suite, tile throughout, fit bath panels and shower screens, install underfloor heating and decorate. By undertaking all the work myself I can guarantee a superb finish.

  • Plumbing

    I have the experience to undertake most plumbing jobs, including fitting a new bathroom suite and plumbing it in. For gas or specialist plumbing jobs I use a Gas Safe local plumber.

  • Tiling

    I have completed a number of bathroom refurbishments, tiling both walls and floors. I pay great attention to detail when tiling - it makes all the difference to the end result.

  • Underfloor Heating

    I can fit electric underfloor heating prior to tiling. I use a local registered electrician to connect and certify the installation.

Handyman

  • Carpentry

    I can handle most small carpentry jobs, including hanging doors, fixing shelves, attaching skirtings etc.

  • Jet washing

    Let me rejuvenate your deck or patio.

  • Assembling flat pack furniture

    Got it ready to go, but don't fancy doing it yourself? Let me at it - I love flat pack!

  • Sheds

    I can erect your new shed for you and paint it if you require. If the felt has gone on your old shed let me replace it with rubber that can last 50 years.

  • Anything else?

    Got a job that I haven't mentioned above? Give me a call and I'll let you know if I can help.
