Testimonials

”Handy Hudson (Oli) has recently replaced the felting on one of our sheds, previously he completed replacement of deteriorating wood and the roof felt of our larger shed. On both occasions Oli has been professional, helpful and cheerful. I will recommend him to anybody needing a competent person to quote on price and complete repair work on any jobs around their house or garden.”

”Oli can turn his hand to most things around the house and garden and he carries out the work to very exacting standards. He has carried out a variety of jobs for us and we are very pleased with the results.

”We used Oli, recently, to lay glazed tiles to our porch step & repoint paving slabs to rear garden. Through all stages of the process - site inspection, to quotation, to commencement & completion of the works, Oli demonstrated a highly professional approach & obviously takes great pride in his work & the finished product. He was always punctual, his workmanship was of a high standard & he left the site clean & tidy, at the end of each day. As an individual, we found Oli to be a pleasure to work with & he was very accommodating, even when adjustments were necessary. Oli was also willing to offer advice, based upon his experience. There are no elements of Oli's services that we found fault with. Would not hesitate to use again, or recommend to others.”

”From my previous first experience of having fencing work done by Oli, I was very confident in seeking a quote for work on replacing another dilapidated fence mounted on a wall separating our neighbours. As expected, a prompt visit, very reasonable quote, a bit of a wait as Oli is so popular and busy now, but ahead of the estimated start-date, the work was quickly and professionally completed. As so many others have reported, Oli is unbeatable - Attitude, Client Interaction and Results.”
John Passmore, Highcliffe

”Oli is a very professional and easy person to work with having just completed 3 weeks revamping our garden including a new fence. Oli was very good and accommodating when we wanted to make some small changes while work was in progress. We are more than happy to recommend Oli to anyone, he is reliable, on time, tidy and meticulous. Thanks Oli for a great job.”
Paul and Sharon Bennett, New Milton

Katie and Rob Dougan, Barton on Sea

“Oli has been here for the past couple of weeks putting in some new garden paths; he came up with an idea (which we hadn’t!) which has totally transformed the garden and given it a focal point. He always arrived on time and his eye for detail was meticulous. We hope he will be able to come later in the year to do a couple more jobs.”
Sally and David, Highcliffe

”We contacted Oli for some jobs in the house and also to look at a problem we had on the roof. We found Oli to be very helpful and friendly, giving a detailed quote at a reasonable price. He is very precise in his work, with attention to detail and left everything very clean and tidy afterwards. We will definitely be using his services again, feel his honesty and capabilities are assured and would highly recommend him.”
Karen and Pete, New Milton

”10/10. 5 Stars. Oli recently completed an extensive landscape project in our back garden comprising fixing a gate, the creation of new slabbed footpaths and repairs to and the construction of new decking. Photos of the work can be viewed on his website. His quotes are very reasonable and clearly detailed. He is punctual, always polite, meticulous, capable, and trustworthy. We can highly recommend him for any work you may have. We shall be calling on him again.”
Brian Adkins, Barton on Sea

”I recently found Oli online and contacted him to clear out an old covered garden area and repair a wind damaged fence. The reviews here say it all about this pleasant and engaging young man. He provided detailed estimates, and was punctual and professional when undertaking the jobs, leaving the site tidy and clean. No subsequent adjustments to the quote and a written invoice to follow. Our fence is now much stronger than before and I would certainly recommend him and use him in the future.”
Mr K Everett, Barton on Sea

”Pleasant. Polite. Professional. Mr Hudson is not only a nice guy, but his work for us was exemplary. I would have no hesitation asking Mr Hudson to help us out again.”

Oli has done some excellent work and I have been well pleased with the results.

He lists a wide range of ‘can do’ jobs, and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.”

Phillip Cooper, New Milton

”Oli is a very pleasant young man. He did my job well and I am pleased to recommend him. I will certainly ask for his help in future.”
Jan Bartlett, Barton on Sea

”Difficult to add to Oli's extensive testimonials which say it all. A relatively short repair job that saved a wind-blown fence by inserting short concrete stantions to which he bolted the surviving non-rotted main fence posts - now more solid and stable than the original fence. Modern tools and techniques and a quick and thorough, friendly work-flow from first visit to final farewell. We'll be seeing you again Oli!”
John Passmore, Highcliffe

Prab Somasundaram, Bransgore

”What is there left to say about Oli. I cannot add to all the other comments, they say it all. Oli re-felted my summer house and replaced the old wood. He did a wonderful job. Oli is a breath of fresh air, punctual, honest, tidy, and professional. I will certainly recommend him.”
Mrs I Mardon, Barton on Sea

”I saw the reviews on here and then hired Oli to do some work around the house and in the garden. Apart from doing a thoroughly professional job for me he was also on time, responsive, cleaned up after and reasonably priced. What’s not to like. He is very client focused, a bit rare these days. Thanks Oli. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to others. I am creating a list of more jobs for you to do!”
Bernie Bennett, Milford on Sea

Oli struck me as being a personable and helpful young man and I would have no hesitation in using his services again or in recommending them to others.”
Alex Macintyre, New Milton

"Oli is far and away the best local tradesman that we have ever encountered, and I am only sorry that we did not discover him years ago. He is always friendly, punctual, efficient, honest, hugely versatile in his capabilities, and very competitive. He has just completed a total renovation of our front garden and we are delighted with the result. He deserves the highest recommendation that we can give. He is someone you can trust to do a superb job."
Mr & Mrs Jolley, New Milton

"Oli is a hard working and reliable man with an engaging personality and a friendly and cheerful disposition. My wife and I employed him to resurface our gravel driveway which involved quite heavy manual work and he completed it with apparent ease. His paperwork, issued as part of the contract, is immaculately prepared and correct in detail. I have no hesitation in recommending him."
John Lusher, Milford on Sea

"Oli's work is very professional and efficient, and so is his business website and his whole procedure submitting quotes, invoices etc and punctuality. His persona is very approachable and the work he did for me was exceptional, and I would highly recommend him."
Liz Foster, New Milton

"Oli responded to my initial phone enquiry promptly and after calling round to look at the job he sent an estimate through quickly as well. He arrived on time and carried out the work efficiently (removing ivy from the front of the house) and tidied up very well afterwards. He is a very personable young man and I have no hesitation in recommending him to others and will certainly use him again myself."
Mrs S Hepworth, Barton on Sea

"I searched the internet for a Handyman to carry out some minor work at our rental property.  I was impressed with Oli's credentials and asked him to have a look at the property.  He went the next day, sent a quote and had finished the work within a week. I am very impressed with Oli's quick response and turnaround.  Living so far away it isn't easy to manage but Oli made the whole process run smoothly. Our tenant was also very happy. A great result all round."
Jane Whitfield, Lymington

"I first met Oli Hudson after he had emailed me offering his decorating and maintenance services. I had just inherited a house that needed painting throughout and phoned Oli for a quote. He arrived promptly at the agreed time (doesn’t happen often these days) and the very reasonable quote was emailed soon after. I was very pleased with his work and he left the site very clean having protected the areas really well. I have since used Oli for some decorating in our own house and again from the quotation to the work being carried was done quickly and efficiently to a high standard. I will certainly use him again. I have no hesitation in recommending Oli and wish him well for a successful future."
Pam Ormond, Barton on Sea

”This is the first time we have used Oli's services and it will certainly not be the last. We had our conservatory roof, gutters, windows and all frames and window ledges cleaned. He did an outstanding job and was a pleasure to deal with. Even if you are ultra fussy you will not be disappointed with his skills.”
Pauline & Bob Ward, Barton on Sea

Angela Denby, New Milton

"I was very lucky to be given Oli's phone number by my next door neighbour to quote on a couple of jobs for me. I was delighted with the quotes and the jobs he did for us, he was always punctual, with a very pleasant disposition, never seen on his mobile and got on with the jobs in hand. He did an excellent job and left the site in a very clean condition. I would have no hesitation in recommending him and he would be first on my list when I have other jobs to be done. Well done and keep the good work up."

I am sure anyone would be more than satisfied with his work."

Mrs A Stride, Ashley, New Milton

"Oli Hudson has done a huge amount of work for me covering a large variety of maintenance tasks. He is extremely efficient, diligent and hard working. His quote was very reasonable, he carried out all of the tasks exactly as I needed him to do it in a short period of time (very important to me as I was renting out my house on Airbnb) and everything was done perfectly. I was not in the country at the time yet Oli was very capable of taking my remote instructions and carrying them all out without an issue and was sure to send me photographs. All of the work was checked by my property manager who was very impressed with Oli. In the decade I have worked in the property and leisure industry I have worked with countless contractors, builders, plumbers, electricians, decorators and maintenance men and I have never come across one with as professional a manner as Oli."
Miss Bromfield
