I made an appointment with Dublin Chimney Sweep online for a pre winter sweep. It was really easy and straightforward. The chap was very nice and had lots of good chimney related advice. I felt sorry for him because the amount of stuff that came out of it. I thought maybe we had a nest but it seems there was a chimney fire at some point and he removed two bags of crap! He left the living room exactly as he found it which was impressive considering. Great service and I'll definitely use them again.

I received an email to confirm my appointment and listed the name of the service man (Declan). The following day I was contacted by Declan who asked if he can call out a bit earlier, I had no problem. Declan arrived with all the equipment, Vacuum cleaner, poles, drill (cheating!!) , plastic sheet etc. Did the job & cleaned up afterwards. As our chimney could be cleaned from the inside (ie: he did not need to get onto the roof) it cost €60. Will defiantly use their services next year. Robert

Trust me it's not fun being locked out of your house at 5AM! That's where Ace Locksmiths comes in. They're open 24 hours!! Seriously I couldn't have been happier when I found out about this.

Look up 'crack den' on your internal dictionary, and you might come close to being able to picture how the place looked. It needed a massive overhaul, and a combination of serious loveage, epic skills, and extreme vision. After consulting with several different building contractors, I brought Carroll Contractors on board. I had become frustrated with builders who came along and as well as giving me quotes, gave me a superior attitude, and a 'don't worry about it, you're only a girl' condescending vibe. Eoin Carroll brought the exact opposite attitude to the table, and maintained this throughout the entire build. He is very easy to consult with, he explains in detail what is happening, how and when, and is very open to ideas and suggestions from the client. (of which I had many...!) Apart from all-important attitude, the standard of work we're talking about here is top notch. I'm very particular when it comes to details, and was worried that whoever I had working on the house, wouldn't have the same ridiculous standards. I didn't need to worry. These guys work to a highly meticulous level, and everything is finished perfectly. There were many occasions in fact, when they went over and above what I has asked for, to make sure it was all absolutely perfect. And the final kicker - budget. I found these guys to be extremely reasonable in comparison to others I got quoted by. The full build actually came in nearly exactly on budget (save for a few extra bells & whistles I added on myself). Eoin in fact again went out of his way to save me money whenever he could, which as you can imagine, is very much appreciated on such a huge project. If you are looking for a builder, save yourself the hassle of looking elsewhere, and book these guys in.

When I called and asked for it to be fixed I was told it would be 3 days until they could come back - I was told I was being "difficult" and then hung up on. I then said I'd get a different plumber, and that I'd prefer if JD or any employees of John Davitt were not involved. JD himself texted me back and thanked me for using"Rhino Plumbers" - a different plumbing service run by different people in the area. Awful, unprofessional and clueless about how to do business or treat customers. I'm really disappointed with these guys and their behaviour and I hope others don't have the same experience
