ENDORSEMENTS
I have had reason to employ P & R Property Services for the last 12 months
and have found at last, a Professional, Reliable and outstanding workforce
that is a pleasure to associate with. Highly recommended for reliability and efficiency.

Working full time and with a menagerie of animals my garden was getting on top of me.
I enjoy my garden and enjoy the time I spend in it at the weekends. however I was
spending less time enjoying it than I was working in it. As a treat for my self I asked
Phil to bail me out once a fortnight and what a pleasure it has been. He has also
reliably come to my rescue when I suddenly had to go away for a fortnight – the
garden left with confidence in his capable hands. I asked ‘what do you do in the
winter months? Would you consider some decorating? Say no more. Just before
Christmas work began decorating here and decorating there inside and out. Phil
and his team transformed my home. A good job well done with speed and no mess.
A pleasant surprise for my family at Christmas and compliments received on a good
job from them and my friends that have visited since. A good hardworking team.
Reliable, competent and trustworthy.
Have already got my list of jobs for the summer months for Phil and Co. Ssh haven’t
told Phil yet, but I have every confidence he will cope. I have absolutely no reservations
about recommending P and R.

I am pleased to commend Phil as a handyman and gardener with a difference - above
and beyond the general odd jobber. He came to my rescue when a trench was needed
urgently to accommodate an oil pipe. So neatly was the trench dug that a builder told me
I had had it dug with a machine. And he expertly put together a double flatpack wardrobe
without any expletives! (No mean feat) I have recommended him to friends who have
similarly been very pleased with what he has done for them - from pressure washing
courseys to fence erection.

I first met Philip in March 2006 when I was looking for a gardener. Since then I have been
extremely impressed by the standard of his work and his ability to turn his hand to practically
everything I have asked him to do, both inside and outside the house. He is very knowledgeable
and able to offer advice on all manner of household repairs, maintenance and gardening. He
has made many improvements to my garden giving it a more practical design. He has cut
down and removed a 12 foot leylandii hedge, tamed overgrown shrubs and bushes, cleaned all
external stonework with his power washer, dug out and laid an area of loose chippings as a base
for planted pots, and built a patio. On top of this the lawn is well on its way to becoming a
bowling green standard. Inside the house he has carried out jobs such as replacing door handles,
mending locks, hanging pictures and curtains. Filling holes in plaster and sealing gaps around
pipes where they enter the house.
In this day and age it is unusual to find someone with Philip’s qualities. He is kind, pleasant and
goes out of his way to be helpful. His rates are extremely favourable. He is familiar with local
traders and knows where to go to obtain the best value. He will always repair an item if it is
possible rather than have money spent on a replacement. He is totally reliable, punctual,
scrupulously honest and has never let me down. If he is ever held up and unable to make
his next appointment on time he will telephone to let the client know. I have even
contacted him in emergencies and he has always come to my aid. I cannot speak highly enough
of him and have total confidence that all work he undertakes would be carried out with his
expertise, efficiently and professionally.

Phil has been working for me for 10 years, so that is testimony in itself. His work is exemplary
and he is a kind, courteous and thoughtful person. No one better!

Firstly I must say that I know Phil Brougham as a friend. As a businessman in Manchester I have
learned that it is usually a bad idea to use friends to do jobs, but with a dearth of skilled people
willing to undertake to sort out my jungle of a garden I accepted Phil's offer of help. Firstly he
cut down all my hedges without in any way harming any of them, and in record time. He didn't
just leave me with the vast volume of garden waste as others had done previously, but shredded
it for me, mulched around the borders with some of the waste and put the remainder in a compost
heap. I anticipated needing a skip at a cost of over £100 for the large initial volume of garden waste,
but this was unnecessary. Having done this so well I spoke to him about other jobs, and he informed
me of his plans to expand his horizons so that he could fill in time when the weather or season was
not suitable for gardening. I looked at his list, and asked him to pressure wash and treat my decking.
This is a job I have had done previously by a guy with a cheap car pressure washer and a stiff brush.
It took him hours and there were still remnants of fungi/moss/and slime left in difficult to clean areas
when he had finished. Phil came along with his professional power washing kt and did the job much
quicker, more thoroughly and much cheaper (even taking into account the discount he gave me as a friend)
than I had paid before. Phil had his steam cleaner in the van, and offered to fill in some time cleaning
a murky carpet we had. I had tried my steam cleaner on the same
(which was not much more than a kettle with attachments) without success, and was dubious. I thought
I would end up with wet and dirty carpets as was thr result from my own effort. Not so! The result was
a fantastic clean and nearly dry carpet. I haven't used Phil's full range of services yet, mainly because
his expanded business has by all accounts really taken off well, and he doesn't have the time to come
back to Manchester to work. His next social visit might have to be a bit less social and a bit more
work based!

P.S I liked the company so much that when Phil said he was looking for capital to expand his range of services
I bought into a partnership!
Phil was recommended to me by one of his clients and I have nothing but praise for his work, very friendly
man and is willing to help with anything.

P & R Property Services provided a very efficient and helpful cleaning service to our property in Louth
and we would highly recommend them.

My partner and I recently employed P and R Property Services for paving
work to extend our driveway. We are over the moon with the results.
Phil and Ian worked tirelessly and it was clear to us that they cared
as much about it as we did. Such professionals. I knew Phil by
reputation and have employed him to do a variety of jobs so when we
began thinking about the paving work I knew I wanted to get a quote
from him. So glad they didn’t mind travelling all the way to West
Yorkshire as I would have been worried if it has been done by anyone
else. Ian too was magnificent and I know he specialises in paving,
so they make a great team. Thanks again to you both and I’ll be in
touch when we know what our next project is going to be!
