-Repainted our corridor
-Installed three new roller blinds
-Fixed 5 malfunctioning windows
-Repaired a malfunctioning twist handle bath plug mechanism
-Realigned a sliding wardrobe door
-Repainted a table

Julian is very friendly and professional. I particularly appreciated his punctuality and pre- and post-work communications with us.
