First Fix Property Care

Gary fitted new internal doors (most of which were not standard sizes), replaced the skirting boards and door facings. We found Gary to be very reliable, professional, skilled and a very tidy worker. This was the first time we used Gary, but we would not hesitate to book him again or in fact recommend him to others.

Gary from First Fix fitted a new bath at our property. The workmanship was second to none and Gary was quick, reliable and very tidy. I would absolutely use First Fix in the future and recommend their services to anyone!

Having used Gary (First-Fix) for a number of different jobs over the years we had no hesitation in getting him to take on our recent house extension. All the work was done to a high quality and we’re delighted with the results. Gary kept us involved in the project and was always able to offer us options/solutions when our plans changed slightly or we hit an issue with the design.
Would highly recommend Gary and for any similar job.

My kitchen refit was undertaken by Gary. He was hard working and considerate and his work is of a good quality. He was helpful in making some changes as we went along and I am pleased with the overall finish to my kitchen. He also was great at leaving my property clean and tidy as he cleared up!

Got a few new bathroom glass shower screens sourced and fitted, which replaced the old ones. Geat job - will definitely be in touch with Gary again for any future work.

Gary and his team recently fitted smoke alarms, repaired a radiator leak and fitted a new gas hob. We can recommend this firm unequivocally.

1. Removing kitchen unit to fit tumble drier. To maximise storage Gary also fitted a narrow pull out unit and an access panel to corner void through sink cupboard. Very imaginative and works well. He also coordinated an electrician to fit double socket and repair pendant light within the time frame.
2. Fitted 2 tv brackets to lathe and plaster walls which needed additional panels for safety. Very neat job.
3. The oven has never fitted flush with the kitchen units since new kitchen was installed. Gary added wood inserts to either side of oven and used long screws and oven now where it needs to be. Wish we’d found Gary a while ago to fit the whole kitchen!
4. Sourced and fitted new spray tap with no mess or leak.
Gary is very skilled at what he does and is an excellent problem solver. He is methodical and organised and does a clean and tidy job.

We hired Gary to remove a kitchen/living room wall and fit a steel support beam after being let down at the last minute by another builder when we had other works scheduled that were relying on it. Gary and Kev done an incredible job and also noticed an issue with the plans for the works that hadn't been considered by the previous builder, architect or structural engineer before he'd walked in the door. Amazed at the amount of work they managed in such little time too, and were super friendly and lovely to have around. Would recommend Gary to anybody looking for work done (and already have to work and friends!)

Absolutely delighted with the work Gary did. We had a number of small jobs that needed attended to and everything was done to a very high standard. Gary was very professional and thorough. Would have no hesitation in recommending and certainly would employ Gary for all future jobs

Gary fitted some new skirting boards, a coat hanger and a shelf. He also found time to fix our loose door lock as an extra, free of charge. All of the jobs were done faultlessly and with real craft. Would highly recommend him

We are delighted with our new garage door. Gary arrived exactly when he said he would, he then worked hard and kept us up to date on his progress.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Very happy with the quality of the decking and overall service. Really accommodating with timings and continued with the work despite terrible weather.

We had some kitchen refurb work done replacing tile flooring and work tops. I found Gary very reliable and did the work on time and to a high standard. He also tidied up after himself! I have no reservations about recommending him to others.

Firstfix went the extra mile on this job of replacing floor joists that had rotted, and installing a new shower
Absolutely first class work ..........I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone!

Toilet flush went and unfortunately the whole unit was encompassed within a wooden cabinet requiring joinery skills to access toilet and then plumbing skills to fix flush. Gary did both and left the unit with a removable front should any issue arise again. Many tradesmen refused to help and Gary came out within days of contact. Very much appreciated and would recommend.

Gary replaced rotten wood on the outside of my dormer window, removed the old plaster from the inside of my outside cupboard and arranged for it to be replastered and replaced the door.
I am really pleased with all the work done both by Gary and Kevin who did the plastering. Gary has also recommended people to do other work I need done.
My only issue was the time it took to have the work done after the initial visit which meant it was being done when the weather wasn’t so good. However, I guess that’s what happens when the person you want to do the work is a good tradesman and he’s very much in demand!

Gary and his team installed a complete new bathroom. They also replaced a rotten floor, as well as doing some electrical repairs and redecorating our whole flat. From first contact to completion, Gary kept us informed about progress and we had complete confidence in him. We will certainly use Gary and his team again.

Gary provided us with a very professional service from enquiry stage to completion of job and the final product (deck step) is of a high standard. Due to time restrictions we were unable get other quotes for comparison purposes. However, we can say that he was very accommodating to our circumstances, did not rush the job (which although small was tricky) and left the site absolutely as he found it, which is rare. We would be happy to contract him again if needed in future.

We had our bathroom floor repaired after long term water damage.
The service provided was excellent, completed on time and to a high standard.

I'm really happy with the work that Gary did on my shower and wet wall installation.

My DIY knowledge is minimal, so Gary was great at explaining the options for me in plain English.

The quote was reasonable, the work was completed promptly, and he left the flat immaculate afterwards.

Would definitely recommend Gary for any work you're needing done!

Excellent job both tiling and laying flooring. Extremely efficient, trustworthy and job finished to a high standard. Fuss free and very clean. Highly recommended.

I had a new cellar door constructed and fitted. Gary provided an excellent service with a quality product. He is responsive, efficient and effective. He went the extra mile by making some good suggestions for other work I need to have done. I really appreciated his quick help.

I'll have no hesitation in either contacting First Fix again to get work done, or in recommending them. My job had to be changed after the initial quote due to circumstances outside of our control (a third party was responsible). This increased the overall cost, but I have no complaints. Gary wasn't phased by the change and very quickly calmed my fears about my ceiling and the scale of the work required to get a complete ceiling again. The work was done on time and to a very high quality. The clean-up afterwards was very impressive too. It's so hard to find good tradesmen these days. I'm so glad I used this site and chose First Fix.

First Fix property care - I found that it was easy to make contact with Gary. He responded promptly and arranged a visit to assess the scope of work. When he assessed the job he made sensible suggestions for repair and replacements. After assessing the work he was also kind enough to suggest and arrange some temporary support for the structure that was due to be replaced.
Main repair work went smoothly with completion ahead of time. Final invoice was in accordance with both the verbal and written estimates. Very satisfactory !

After extensive research to find someone reliable to deal with a water damage claim I found Firstfix on the trustatrader website. Gary and team were fantastic. Always turned up on time, communication was very clear . Very professional job bathroom and ensuite look amazing. I would highly recommend Gary and would definitely use his company in the future. Thank you for a job well done.

Would highly recommend Gary and his team. Very reliable, very trustworthy and completed a job of high quality at a fair price. Would definitely use Gary again for any future work.

This was a simple and small job - the replacing of a broken parking stanchion at our parking bay, putting in a concrete base, making good the surface tarring and the installation of a new, lockable stanchion - which similar traders had turned down as being 'too small a job' for them. However, from start to finish, Gary was nothing other than helpful and reliable. An initial 'site visit', a detailed discussion about our requirements, a fair estimate, a decision about when the work would be done, turning up on time, doing exactly what was promised, and leaving a neat, tidy and professional finish ... we couldn't have asked for anything better. Added to that, there was good communication throughout by email and phone, a very pleasant attitude indeed and what I considered a very reasonable price for a job well done. It was a pleasure doing business with Gary, and I would have no hesitation in using First Fix again and recommending them to others. Thank you.

Highly professional and technically adept, Gary conducted a thorough investigation to get to the cause of what appeared superficially to be a straightforward fix (as others might've done) before ensuring the necessary work was completed to a high standard. Reliable, keeps in touch and sets out a clear plan of what needs to be done.

Excellent very professional work. Thoroughly recommended.

Gary is courteous and reliable. Importantly, he communicates effectively with the customer and carries out his work efficiently. Gary offers a thoroughly professional, 5 star service.

I have recently had a bathroom fitted by First Fix Property Care and was impressed by the care taken with every aspect of the job from start to finish, a marked contrast to the last time we had the room done. Gary was very helpful with suggestions for choice of fittings and tiles which helped reduce the cost a bit too. Highly recommended.

Gary fixed a couple of oak shelves in my kitchen. He used the ornate brackets that I had asked for (I had seen them in Homebase) and made sure that the oak shelves matched my kitchen counter tops. The finished result is exactly as I'd imagined it.

Very pleased with the service provided. Gary was communicative, to the point, efficient - in short, just what you'd hope for when you hire somebody to do some work for you. I would definitely use his services again.

Gary completely transformed my bathroom...I'm very happy with it and go in there simply to stand and enjoy the beauty! He was very patient and respectful and unlike other tradesmen I've used in the past, he listened when I pointed things out and made no fuss about addressing them. The job took approx. 5days to complete but he tidied up neatly at the end of each day which meant we could continue to use the bathroom as the work progressed. For the first time after a string of other tradesmen, I can say I'll definitely be calling on Gary's services again in the future...and this is coming from someone who's not easily pleased!

Gary has recently completed a very fiddly leak investigation and repair in a bathroom for me. Many other traders declined to do this work but Gary did a brilliant job in finding the problem, fixing it and returning the bathroom back to its previous state. He kept me informed throughout the whole process. Would definitely use again and would recommend.

I used First Fix to install a new ceiling and I was very happy with the level of professionalism and workmanship that I received.
When I first called, Gary came round within an hour and took all the details and supplied a quote within 48 hours. The job began on 24 Aug 2015 as agreed and took a little longer than we anticipated (because of unseen circumstances) but Gary explained everything and at no time did I feel I was being lumbered or fobbed off.
His team were excellent and pretty unobtrusive (which is saying a lot in a one bed Edinburgh tenement) and a pleasure to have in the house. They were clean and tidied up afterwards.
My only negative point would be that I felt communication before the job started could have been a bit better: once I accepted the quote, I didn't hear from Gary for a while and I had to contact him to confirm a start date which felt like I had been forgotten and was doing the chasing.
That said, however, overall, I was impressed with the team, the job, and the price and would use them again.

Diligent worker - on time and on budget !

I have always been delighted with the work done by this company. I have recommended Firstfix to many of my friends who have then gone on to recommend Firstfix to others. This in itself is proof of the standard of the work done and the caliber of the employees.

I have been using First Fix Property Care for a number of years now and to date they have never disappointed.
Gary has carried out small Planned and Reactive Maintenance works as well as larger projects such as refurbishing bathrooms. The standard of workmanship is without fail, second to none.
First Fix Property care are able to provide this Student Accommodation site with a reliable and efficient service. Importantly, Gary is always polite and friendly with the residents here and always keeps any disruption to a minimum.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this company.

Always reliable and trustworthy - willing to give advice and help. Arrives on time and works extremely hard. Has given excellent quality of service in completing a variety of jobs and I happily recommend him.

Very reliable, trusted, does a quality job. Very happy with work completed and use whenever I need help.
