A job well done
"When we extended the conservatory we need to dig up the existing patio and some garden. Paul Cox came and re-laid the stone paving which has been professionally done and he was very helpful and willing to attempt any project we threw at him during the time. I certainly will be recommending Paul and am hoping he will come back to landscape the remaining garden now the building site has gone.

"I have been a member of Forward Ladies since the beginning and have seen it grow! It is professional, well organised, and it's founder Etta Cohen and her team work tirelessly for the good of business women in the UK. If you want a network where you would like to meet likeminded business women from all walks of life making friends, contacts and business then I recommend this network. If you are not a member you are missing out Ladies!"

Mrs L York
"Any one requiring any landscaping however big or small, I would highly recommend Paul Cox Landscaping. After stepping over a flood every time it rained last year at my front door, something the builders tried to put right but did not succeed, I asked Paul if he could come up with a solution. He put new stone down and laid it so that the water no longer collects here. Thank you! Whilst he was working I asked if he could fix a part of my garden that I just did not know what to do with. I now have lovely established bushes that flower under trees and give the corner colour, a fence has been put up to give me privacy and Paul made me a raised bed so I can have a go at growing my own veg! Paul even arranged to get soil to fill the bed. Paul has done work for neighbours and came recommended, his knowledge of plants is vast and has some great ideas, - next job is asking Paul to design me a patio for my rear garden."

York's first and best mobile computer tutor...
"I was recommended to Anita Moore's mobile pc tuition in York by a friend and think Computer Start York offers a brilliant service - particularly for anyone over 50 who's a bit nervous of technology!
Anita visits you in your own home, so you can get to grips with your own laptop or desktop pc. I bought a gift voucher for a computer novice to learn how to Skype people and do internet shopping from home in York.
Computer Start will configure your email account settings for your personal email address, which is handy as this can be tricky. So you don't have to take your computer to a pc shop in York, or sign up for computer lessons to be taught how to use an internet browser, Facebook or MS Word in a computer class in York. (Often it’s hard to get the one-to-one tuition in a big class for computer training.)
A lesson costs £25, about the same as a driving lesson but, once you've learnt to master the internet from home, you can go a lot further than in a car!

Exceptional
"Phil is completely magnanimous and knows his IT. If anything, he seems more interested in any pc issue (small or big)
If you want something doing, in my opinion he goes beyond fixing your pc. No question feels ridiculous, and his free advice and suggestions are beyond the call of duty.
Personally, everyone should take a chance with him before considering other competitors"

Mr Baxter
"Paul Cox’s was recommended to us by a neighbour, (which is always a good start), and we had already seen the standard of his work on their garden and were very impressed!
Our house is a new build property and Paul extended the path the builders had fitted out into a stunning sun terrace. He sourced all the same material as the original path and built the slopping garden up for a level patio including all the details like drains and steps etc. It was even finished off with the same decorative edging as the original path, exactly what we had hopped for.
On top of all that Paul honoured his original, (very competitive), quote despite the work taking longer and costing more in raw materials then was originally estimated.
All though the work Paul was polite and friendly, respecting our house and garden, leaving everything spotless at the end despite having several days of hard lifting and earth moving.
To sum it up I will be recommending Paul to my friends and family!

Fantastic quality and customer service
"We have bought high quality furniture from vernon on a number of occasions over the last 3 years. Vernon provides exceptional personal customer service which matches the amazing quality of his stock. After furnishing our dining room and bedroom we are currently purchasing our living room furniture - my house is like a Vernons showroom. I cannot recommend it highly enough. R Moist Clifton Without"

"Our printing business was in a real mess because there had been so many people fiddling with the computers, so we decided to call Wisebusiness for help. They were absolutely brilliant, steadily working through all our problems bit by bit, until suddenly we realised things were working properly once again. We cannot thank them enough, otherwise we might not even be here to write this review."

Condensation Control
"We moved into our new property and found that we had a very bad condensation issue. By chance we were given the details of Russell from Dryfix Preservation in York who worked with us to provide a solution.
Dryfix carried out some tests and monitored our home for a period of time and proposed that we install a positive input ventilation system. After installing the system Dryfix closely monitored the changes. We quickly noticed a big difference as our walls and windows became dry.
Overall we are very pleased with the help and advice Russell has given us."

Will certainly use their services again!
"We had a property which had evidence of rising damp, as such we requested a series of different 'specialists' to come and investigate further. A number of the companies who came out suggested a small fix without guarantees or large fix with limited guarantees, Dryfix came and produced a full report on all of the walls and were happy to show me the readings of some of the walls which appeared to the naked eye to be fine, but were in fact 'damp'.
Dryfix were certainly professional, both in the report produced and in the work we asked them to carry out. I will certainly use their services again on any other property which has a similar problem.

The ability to solve a complex problem....
"Dryfix was recommended to me by a friend in the 1st instance of using them, but since then I've always spoken to Dryfix 1st about a number of jobs I've had done to my house in York.
My initial problem was I had a flood problem in my property in a bedroom that was below ground level, this was by no means an easy task to solve or cure. It took a lot of time, but more important someone who had the ability to take a complex problem and solve it. Dryfix did this and I have to say I've had no complaints from the tenants who live in the property now. I would highly recommend Dryfix to anyone, especially in the damp proofing, tanking area, but they've also done lots of other work around my house and as per above has always provided not only excellent service, but professional and competitive results. Highly recommended."

Good work with such enthusiasm.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Dryfix team for a very professional job, well done. It was nice to see good work being carried out with such enthusiasm. We will definitely be using your skills in the future. Joan, Helen & George Ruck."

Competitive & Knowledgeable
"Whilst selling our house in Huntington, we received a detrimental survey that highlighted damp and decay in our dining area. We contacted Dryfix, and we were very impressed with Russell's knowledge and depth of survey accompanied by his competitive quote.
We were extremely impressed with both the workmanship and cleanliness of the works and Russell ensured that any disruption was down to a minimum. We have now been left with an excellent finish with very little to clean up after the works and the added comfort of the guarantee. We would strongly recommend Dryfix for any works, and they will be our first port of call if we find ourselves in a similar predicament in their future."

Tricia Douglas Interiors Ltd
"In 2009 / 10 we undertook major renovations to our period farmhouse in Durham. Tricia Douglas Interiors provided us with expert guidance and advice and through her vast experience and array of contacts created for us an elegant and timeless home.
Tricia is a lady of impeccable taste with an outstanding talent for colour and attention to detail. She is also an extremely personable lady and easy to relate to. She listened to us, took on board our requirements and delivered everything we asked for. The results were superb, came in on budget and were of a vastly superior quality from anything else we had previously considered.
It has been a privilege and pleasure to have worked with Tricia and I have no hesitation in recommending her services.

"I have used this company for the last 2 years and really cannot fault it. They are always very prompt and polite at answering the phone when I call, very ready to answer any questions I may have and also very quick to remotely logon to my PC and examine and diagnose potential faults. A service I cannot commend highly enough."

"Our relationship with David Long Designs began even before the planning application for our new house was approved.
Having been presented by a superb design by our architect, we went to David & Gaynor because we felt daunted by the prospect of creating an interior design from scratch for an entire house. We also needed designers who could advise us on soft furnishings and furniture - but also give input on structural elements like doors, windows and floors, offer guidance on lighting design and layout, garden design and landscaping and who were willing to converse and discuss these elements with the team of architects, builders, engineers and surveyors that we had employed to carry out the actual building project.
David and Gaynor were enthusiastic from the beginning and quickly set about interpreting our wish for a modem home whilst incorporating some of our traditional furniture and personal items that we wanted to keep. Initially we were open minded in our requirements and David and Gaynor spent many hours guiding us through the options available. They were good listeners and quickly picked up that we wanted "colour and warmth" within our scheme, they soon interpreted this into a bright pallet of fabrics. A particular challenge in this property was the double height spaces in the hallway and garden room. Treatment of these areas has been particular successful by the use of some stunning chandeliers and lighting, creating the WOW effect that we requested. They were also able to suggest a decorative finish on the chimney breast that delivered the texture we required making it a focal point, but retaining the contemporary feel of the room. Their concept of creating several living zones in the open plan downstairs area has worked beautifully, allowing us to use the large space for sitting, dining and watching TV - feeling cosy in each area whilst enjoying the overall flow of open plan living.
As we got to know David and Gaynor better their knowledge and flair for design became more apparent. We felt able to trust their judgement and accept ideas that we were initially apprehensive about, which meant we were able to relax and enjoy the process. We are delighted with their work and their commitment to interpret our brief into the beautiful home we now live in. "

Network York review
"I have been a member since its inception and find it a relaxed and enjoyable group.It has benefitted my business which I know is the primary reason for networking.
There is no undue pressure and the meetings are at sensible times which are two of the reasons why I had always been put off this style of marketing in the past . "

Tricia Douglas
"Tricia has successfully furnished several apartments in central York working directly with our clients and Carter Jonas to present the property to the highest standard.
A confident relationship with Carter Jonas over several years has achieved a good understanding of the demanding market conditions and requirements of our clients to successfully result in good sales and client’s approval.
Tricia's commitment, work ethos and style have turned houses and apartments into homes working either with a very small budget or delegating ideas with client and Carter Jonas and working within a timescale more than often impossible to achieve.
Tricia Douglas interiors strong sense of style is very much suited to period properties, new properties of character but they have also created wonderful interiors to properties changing the accommodation layout which may have been daunting to potential buyers but makes a more modern life style change.

Tricia Douglas Interiors
""Tricia has given us really excellent advice and support while we have been re-designing the interior of our house. She spent a lot of time listening to what we wanted and understanding what was important to us before starting to formulate her designs and plans. Tricia has a real eye for design and colour and we have been absolutely delighted with the results. Before working with Tricia we tried to do things ourselves and ended up making quite a lot of expensive mistakes! Tricia is even able to source trades people at very sensible rates and their work is done quickly and very well. One final thought, some designers we have come across make you feel ignorant and stupid - Tricia is completely the opposite and is just so friendly and helpful"

Tricia
"Working in the demanding high end serviced apartment market requires beautifully presented apartments that achieve instant lets and return clients. Tricia has worked with us on dozens of properties turning tired looking apartments on low end rental into top end apartments that are snapped up on first viewing.
Whenever we take on a new apartment or have an existing but difficult to let apartment we simply call in Tricia who not only completes the décor and furnishing but provides a one stop shop for lighting and building work via her access to all types of trades with whom she works on a regular basis. Whether it be new kitchens, bathrooms, flooring or anything else it is there with one simple telephone call. Having been so pleased with her work she is now engaged transforming my own home.

Tricia Douglas Interior Design
"Tricia has fully furnished a number of apartments that we have successfully Let.
Furnished apartments are in greater demand than unfurnished. Currently in York, there appears to be an oversupply of unfurnished apartments
All furnishings are coordinated, giving a professional look to the apartment , this gives the property an edge on other furnished apartments, often letting quicker.
Tricia can offer a range of services from, advice to the full interior package or completed refurbishment.
A few case studies:
We were given 12 apartment to let and manage, Trica fully furnished and equipped each of these luxury apartments, they were completed to a high specification . All apartment were then let to a large international company on contract in York with rents ranging from £1100 pcm to £14000 pcm.
These apartments were furnished
We were asked to take over the management of a apartment that was dated but held a prime position in York overlooking the river. Once the apartment was completed renovated, the rental went form £650pcm to £360 to £400.00 per week for a serviced apartment.
We had a dark, City centre apartment that we let unfurnished, we persuaded the owners to have Tricia provide a fully furnished apartment as we were getting little interest with the unfinished apartment with a terracotta carpet throughout! the apartment was usually let for £695.00 pcm. The owners are currently now achieving between £400 to £510 per week as a serviced let. Other furnished apartments that of the same size & furnished are currently achieving £895.00 pcm for and AST.
We have a large quirky prime property that did not show too well unfurnished, the bedrooms appeared small with low slanting ceilings. Unfurnished, it looked disappointing. Trica completed the interior, had purpose built furniture made for the quirky rooms. We let the 2 bedroom apartment for £1500.00 pcm.
A number of our clients have furnished the interiors successfully themselves with great results, other clients have had disappointing results.
Landlords buy expensive apartments and often place in inappropriate furniture that does not show off the apartments to their best. We have just taken on a city centre apartment, the owners have furnished the apartment with a mix of modern furniture and what appears to be furniture from a "well to do" suburban house, they do not mix and the look is very disappointing, especially as the property is commanding a high rental. Equally, we have a 1 bedroom cottage owned by an artist and the interior is quirky and quite fabulous with individual pieces scattered throughout.
We think Trica has the time and expertise to show a property at its best.

"Before Trish designed a new colour scheme for the Community Centre it was sometimes known as the `Neapolitan ice cream` Centre, pinks, greens and browns!!. Critics thought Trish`s ideas would never be accepted. Now the contemporary scheme is complemented by all the users of the Centre and this has been a factor in us increasing dramatically the hiring of the facility for events and weddings and has helped the Centre become financially viable.

"I had instructed a company to prepare my website. They didn't advise me on optimisation, and I didn't know about it. All I knew was that I was not attracting potential customers to my site, which was of concern. I met Fran and I instructed Wisebusiness in place of the original company. I really am grateful to Wisebusiness for their suggetions, assistance, and patience. I have already recommended Wisebusiness to a couple of others."

"I met Michael (Mingus) Menzies-Baird, and appreciated his friendly, non-intimidating approach. I instructed him to act for me on a matter. I am kept informed on regular basis, and have confidence in Mingus that it will progress and not remain lingering around because he has other bigger files to attend to first.
I have met other solicitors but many come across as intimidating. I have already referred a friend to Haland & Co. "
