Rick brings 30+ years' experience, from new build to refurb, repairs & maintenance, on the tools and managing jobs from start to finish. For the bigger work he brings in qualified, reputable subcontractors he's worked alongside for years, so every trade on your job is someone he knows and trusts.
He started Hills Repairs after one too many jobs watching other contractors cut corners, doing a lazier job than they ever would in their own home. He built it to work the other way round: every job done to the standard he'd want under his own roof.

What people say
Local homeowners on Hills
-
We had three quotes for the bathroom and Rick's was the cheapest by a fair bit. Finished a day early, left the place cleaner than he found it.
★★★★★M. Hatton, Purley -
Roof was leaking into the loft during stormy weather. Rick came out within the day, found the actual cause instead of just patching over it, and it's been dry since.
★★★★★D. Harrison, Bromley -
Full kitchen refit, start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout and the joinery is spot on.
★★★★★L. Whitmore, Thornton Heath -
Been let down by two other plumbers before finding Hills. Rick actually turned up when he said he would, explained what was wrong in plain English, and the price on the invoice matched the quote.
★★★★★E. Carter, Addiscombe
