If I could give 10 stars for each category I would! I cannot say how happy I am with the finished job and with the clean and tidy way in which it was conducted. Patrick is obviously highly skilled and he works very hard. That said, nothing is too much trouble for this young man, and it's clear that his customer's satisfaction is paramount. I will absolutely be recommending him to all our friends and we have, in fact, already asked him to quote for another job.

Hard shed lots of awkward angles. Weather did not help. But a fantastic shed built, one very happy customer.

I rate applaud very highly. Patrick repaired the roof on my games room and replaced part of the floor and all of the suspended ceiling along with other minor repairs and we are very pleased with all the work he has carried out. He is always on time, very tidy and is always happy to come back to complete work if necessary. Patrick works alone and his rates are very reasonable. I have kept his business card and will certainly be using him again in the future.

Patrick Lord from Applaud was asked to build a detached garage to complement our our chalet bungalow. He gave us exactly what we wanted at an excellent price. All through the project he kept us informed and aware of the choices we had and the costs involved. It was a good working relationship and we are very satisfied with the new garage.

Excellent service provided (5 STARS) Quick response to my post and they fully understood the job I wanted doing, gave times on how long the job would take and provided good designs. Excellent value for money and would highly recomend to anyone in need of a reliable carpenter and have done so and will use again on other projects this summer 2011.

Pat had all the elements against him but despite the hard winter worked far more than I expected. The job was done to budget and I am very happy with it. He's a young guy who works hard, does what he says and a bit more. No problem with recommending him

Job was completed on time and within the quoted price. The workmanship is excellent and the site was left clean at the end of each working day. Would certainly recommend to anyone and would use again.

Patrick genuine and honest in his valuation of the job. He provided a very comprehensive invoice detailing all of the work he was going to undertake. He arrived early in the morning at the time he said he would and did a great job in plastering the ceilings and fixing the porch roof. He left everything tidy when he had finished. Overall I was extremely pleased with his work. It was an excellent finish and good workmanship. I would not hestitate to recommend him to others or use him again in the future.

Pat is a very personable young man who presented himself well. He arrived when he said he would and worked hard each day. He advised me clearly of the material cost and charged a reasonable daily rate for his work. The quality of his work was good and he did extra small things without quibble. I shall use him again and can heartily recommend him.

Patrick is working on my Bathroom as we speak and, to date, he has been very conscientious, hardworking (up to a ten hour day) and nothing seems to phase him. I have added things to the job and he has taken it all in his stride. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a job to be done well.
