Roxana23/09/2021Paul was extremely knowledgeable and professional in rebuilding my front porch. He was very polite and punctual and the work done was brilliant. Whilst finishing he left the front clean and no traces of my old porch.
I am now getting lots of compliments from my neighbours and friends for my beautiful new front porch.
I do highly recommend Paul for his skills, creativity and way of doing and finishing a job. He is more than a 5 stars trader.
Thank you very much Paul :))

He was very polite. He cleared up after himself and did a first class job. I am very pleased with him and would recommend.Eve29/11/2020Paul has carried out a few jobs at my Mum's property and we are nothing less than pleased. All work has been done to a high standard. He is friendly and kind and has put my Mum at ease, which is no mean feat. Thoroughly recommended.Mark28/10/2020Paul came to do a few jobs, laid a new stone based area out the front of my house, clean out the gutters (which needed it!) and paint our front door area.
Paul did a fantastic job. He is very reliable, takes real care with is work and to top it off is a lovely bloke!
I recommend!Rosalind28/10/2020Excellent. Work done very successfully would definitely recommend himRosalind27/10/2020Paul Cobb was punctual, kind and efficient, I would definitely recommend him for any further work I need doing.Sheila09/09/2020Paul has undertaken various jobs for me over several years, most recently a 5-week project. He applies great attention to detail, ensures his work is consistently high quality and has a courteous and caring manner.
Following the relaxation of lockdown restrictions and to comply with Government guidelines and covid safe working practices, Paul prepared a job specific Covid-19 risk assessment and he was meticulous in observing safety procedures.Kate11/07/2020Paul gave me a very professional service when painting my landing walls and ceiling, and stripping the wallpaper and re-wallpapering my toilet. He was very friendly and professional, and did a great job. I was glad to employ him.
Highly recommended.Angela01/07/2020As a result of an aggravated burglary which occurred at my 93 yr old mother’s house while she was home alone, we needed a person who could not only carry out the repairs but also have the necessary skills to put my mother as ease, involve her without overwhelming her and fully understand her feelings of vulnerability.
We were so lucky to find Paul on this site, with his experience as a former police officer he intuitively knew and understood how to treat my mother. Indeed, at his suggestion Paul met with Mum to ensure she felt comfortable with him before proceeding further.
Because of the nature and urgency of the work Paul slotted the work into his already busy schedule for which I am extremely indebted.
Paul fitted a new door and iron work, locks, etc and fashioned a new door frame where the old one was out of alignment. He fitted a new pane of glass and security bars over the window. My mother and I were fully consulted at every stage to decide on the options available to secure the property.
Paul’s standard of work is meticulous and professional with excellent results. He was punctual, friendly, and worked extremely hard. He took great care not to create trip hazards whilst working and made sure all dirt/dust was thoroughly cleaned up on completion.
It is testament to Paul that, despite the experience she had gone through, Mum felt totally at ease with him and was impressed enough with his work that she asked him to a do few other small jobs while he was there, all of which took time out of his day, but Paul was decent enough to help with this too.
I can't praise Paul highly enough and would recommend him to anyone needing his services. I will be asking him to do more work for me in due course. Many thanks Paul.
Ashleigh11/06/2020Paul has spent a week refurbishing my flower shop, we have alot of stock that needed to be moved around in order for him to work in different areas.

I have been liaising with Paul Cobb of PC Home & Garden. I found him using the Age Concern Business Directory.
He has been very helpful with a matter that Trading Standards had been dealing with and did some work for one of our residents. He was very good at liaising with me in respect of the work proposed and the costs. He was prompt with his visits and the quotes he provided to both the resident and I, which was really appreciated.
The resident advised me that Mr Cobb did a thorough inspection of what work was required and did a very good job. They advised that he was very polite throughout.
Sylvia29/10/2018Paul came to do several jobs for me last week. He is a very experienced person, compassionate and sociable. He repaired 1 office chair that I had assembled myself but had doubts as to its safety. He also put together a flat pack Ikea kitchen table and some chairs to go with it. He also drew my attention to a loose stair carpet and generally supported my environment with an air of great ease and competency. I think he represents the “best practice” of Age UKs business directory. I will certainly be using him again, and recommend him.Tina Gibbons03/08/2018Good Afternoon
I obtained the details of the trader below from Age UK Business directory:
Paul Cobb
PC Home and Garden
He carried out work for a lady in the Charlton area who is unable to do a review. I have been asked to conduct it on her behalf. I contacted Paul and he was very efficient and understanding in that he needed to liaise with me at Trading Standards rather than directly with the lady. He attended to assess the work needed and promptly supplied a quote. A start date was agreed and he arrived on time. The work was carried out efficiently with minimal disruption. Paul is very pleasant, tidy and hard working. I would certainly recommend him to anyone who needed gardening work.
