Brilliant accountants, great service and prices. I would highly recommended Glen C Rodger to anyone looking for an accountant in Newcastle.

Great work, fast services!

Nice

We are delighted to have Robson / Laidler as our accounting firm. It has been a pleasure working with Martin Wardle and others on the team from the beginning. Nick Wilson and Susan Patterson recently helped us transition our cloud accounting to Xero. They have always responded promptly (even on weekends and holidays!) with clear and practical advice and solutions.

I have closey been working with Robson Laidler for a few years now, they handle all my payroll and accountancy software, we have been doubling in size and turnover year on year and they have been instrumental in helping us transition through growth ensuring we safeguard our future moving forward but also advising me on tax and exit strategies for various projects. Absolutely would not be where I am now with out their help, l would not hesitate to recommend them and look forward to working with them for many years to come. Neil

Very Very friendly, Much more than your average bank. Always walk out of the branch with a smile on my face. Never had a dull visit at this branch. More banks should take a leaf out of these guys book. They are just fab. Love going to this branch of TSB. Keep the good work up guys.

Friendly and efficient staff. It is very good to have a local branch.

Really nice staff but the queue is insane waited nearly 20mins to be seen.

Best and polite staff.

We had an extensive renovation undertaken by DOH, converting a bungalow into a modern open living space with dormer. From the outset they worked to taylor a budget that suited our needs and more importantly, they stuck to it throughout the process. No nasty surprise bills along the way or at the end. They turned up on time every day of the 4 month project, even through the very worst of a heavy winter and consistently followed through on promises made regarding timescales etc. Site foreman Fraser was always a quick phonecall away if we had any concerns or questions and never avoided contact with us. This was a massive project for us and we were obviously nervous going into it but DOH delivered everything they said they would on time and on budget. I genuinely couldn't recommend them enough.

DOH were appointed by my insurance company after part of my kitchen collapsed. After reading the reviews here I was a little concerned but my fears were quickly removed. From the initial survey to the final task being completed DOH were first class. Their work was completed on time (within 2 weeks of them being appointed), I was kept informed along the way, and the finish was a very high standard. The guys were polite and courteous, and they respected me and my property, leaving everywhere clean and tidy at the end of each day.

Staff members Lesley and Ben were incredibly efficient and friendly. The pick up and drop off was very easy and quick.

Great location. Helpfull staff made the booking easy. Gave great directions to get me on my way

Very helpful staff and lovely cars for a very reasonable price.

Best rental company out there

Fantastic price for van hire especially early week after shopping around trying to get a van on the cheap, thinking that Enterprise would be expensive they were so cheap and you got a new van. Plus you get 10% off with an AA card. Highly recommended

The staff at Byker are amazing very helpful. Thank you to all of them that helped on the day of the hire and return day. Even though the van wasn't ready due to a fault that wasn't theirs. They made sure I didn't wait long for another van to replace it.

Nine months ago Claremont Joinery installed 2 rear doors & 10 windows in our home. They made in their local workshop doubled glazed wooden casement windows. These are in keeping with the house and its original 1930's side opening windows. The large ones open to 90 degrees. All are lockable on trickle ventilation. They are stylish and more eco friendly than upvc. The wood quality & the many coats of paint mean that they should last for decades. Top coat paint colour was chosen from thousands of options & manufacturers, which is not possible with upvc. A personal service provided by the owner Paul.

Put my T30 X-trail in for wheel bearing replacement, rear discs and MOT. Friendly staff and a cracking job at a cracking price. Will definitely go back.

Fast reliable service and excellent staff.

Good lads work here allways do there best for the customers and cheap to 5* all the way top job lads 👍🏻

Booked me in at short notice Cheapest quote by miles job done hassle free Highly recommended

Excellent customer service with reasonable prices. I was very happy with the service I received here when my brakes failed. I will definitely use them again in future.

This place is very helpfull I took my car here not many garages could help but this garage could and is cheaper than outher garages the people here are very friendly and helpfull

Very helpful team and a good choice of cars.nothing is a problem and they discussed all the options before an agreement was made.

I purchased my used Nissan Leaf in the Autumn last year. A few months later it was pointed out to me in a car park that a safety critical bit of equipment was missing from the car. This had been missed in the service before I received the car. Not knowing about the electrical cars I didn't know about this requirement when checking the car. The staff at Lookers were extremely helpful and polite in sorting the problem out. Despite living a 5 hour drive away, they arranged for the part to be delivered and installed at my local Nissan for fitting. I had to pay upfront and then claimed the money back from them afterwards which all went smoothly. Its shame the kit on the car was missed in the inspection but I couldn't want for more in the follow up service. I will certainly check them out in the future when changing my car.

Bought a gorgeous car from these guys at Elm Tree a couple of months ago. Mark made the buying experience second to none absolutely nothing was a problem. After about six weeks a little problem developed and I notified Elm Tree straight away. Their technician Lee arranged to sort the issue out under warranty as quickly and efficiently as possible Can’t praise them enough will definitely be my first port of call when we need another car.

Brilliant place very helpful especially Lee he went above and beyond to help me with my car all sorted now thank

Notability salesman Paul Peligreno always helpful ,top man .

Great service as for BMW standards...you will feel like at home there but the prices are a big higher than i fought but if you value a professional service you won't be disappointed..

Perfection is what they aim for and that is what is delivered, had the pleasure of dealing with Barbara who I recall being here many years. Used several times over the years very happy as a return customer, couldn’t give a higher rating or I most certainly would have done so.

I went here for advice as is was sent by a motorbike shop who suggested they would know where I can buy very fine grain sandpaper from. The guy was more than helpful and even gave me a sheet of sandpaper, and advice on how to Polish up the metal properly. If the service here is that good for something like this. I can imagine that they would go above and beyond with there customers. There were coaches in the carpark that had been painted and the paint work looked perfect too.

Went out of their way to help and did a great job at a very reasonable price.

Prompt, quality work for a good price.

Excellent service and price. Would highly recommend trying here before anywhere else.

Easy to find, friendly and helpful staff. We highly recommend Hertz Newcastle.

Dropped in during recent bad weather as train to Scotland cancelled. Sorted me out with a Corsa within minutes and i was on my way ... thanks for helping me get home

Easy to find with Google Maps than my tomtom satnav

really friendly service. they took the time to chat to us and really made our rental personal.

Great service. Quick, efficient and helpful.

Very helpful staff and convenient as its near the central station and easy to get to by car too

I have been struggling to install a stereo in my Smart roadster. There's little room for working, the 12v Live was missing, the radio didn't work and the subwoofer remote line wasn't sturdy. They fixed this for me quickly and it was less than £40. Can't believe how simple they made this look. Thanks - it made my day.

Excellent service!

They fixed my freelander 2 key fob at a fraction of the cost a dealer would charge. Very happy with the service. Would highly recommend trying these guys first

Life Saver!! This very clever gentleman sorted me out 2 brand new vauxhall vivaro keys for my 10 year old van of which my old keys were broken. Quick painless service, done right in front of me while i wait 30mins. I tried keys and they worked perfectly. Couldnt believe it and all for 40 quid / key. Cant recommend enough and i will always use this key cutting service now.

Great job Sortimo equipment fitted

I must say Kevin and the staff were very helpful with an unusual van and parts that it required thanks again Paul, Belle Vue Estates

Great place to get quality parts and price was good staff was helpfull and gave me great advice

Have gone to Erick and Tony at Quickstart for years now and the service is unsurpassed. Knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Can get virtually anything you need for DIY and also offer an excellent garage facility if you need work doing at reasonable prices without fear of rip-offs.

What a great service. Very helpful and honest staff. Had a washer pump and new battery fitted at very reasonable cost. Thanks.

Fast and prompt fellas! 10+ tripple A rating.

Proper indipendant car parts with helpful staff

Wee bit of a wait and my thay much attention to detail but quite cheap

I always go here. It's cheap there's rarely a queue and my car is always nice and clean after. They occasionally do a 99p wash day which is worth keeping an eye out for, but the £1.99 is already very good value.

Staff are great, but they're quite expensive compared to others in the area who can do the same job.

Good job although took sometime to get my car washed.

Decent car wash. Good price and good service

Always good service

Fantastic service, my never washed car came out like a brand new vehicle, absolutely ready to be part-exchanged, the staff and the owner are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended, will be back.

Spent £22.50 on a.mini valet and a seat briefly cleaned. My alloys werent as clean as another valet i had done at another place. But still it was good enough to go.

Used this car wash for years..from a basic wash to full valet always good as are the management and staff

Good service and good prices

Only £12 for a mini valet always do a good job cleaning the car inside and out

Great location, friendly staff and reasonable prices, better quality work than all the other car washes that I have tried in the area, recommended!!!

Very helpfull

Prompt reply to my enquiry, came out the very same day, diagnosed the issue there and then. Replaced the boiler within the week Very efficient, professional service yet also very friendly and down to earth! I would highly recommend for any heating/boiler related issues

Amazing service, very professional came out within the hour. Would definitely recommend to family/friends. 5*

When our Potterton boiler started leaking and loosing pressure we gave Bob a call. He arranged a plenary visit for a diagnosis and returned a day or two later with the require part to fit. Overall Bob completed the work required to a professional standard and we no longer have a leaking boiler. Overall we we're very pleased with the service Bob supplied, Thank you.

Had a new boiler and radiators fitted, excellent service for an excellent price. Workmen were fab, polite and extremely tidy. Boiler working great just in time for winter.

Just got my new boiler installed by KNW and was very pleased i chose this company. They were prompt, friendly and I was most impressed how quickly they got the work done and how quickly they responded to my queries. Everyone was friendly and helpful and the work completed was sport on. Would definitely recommend.

Really impressed with the service. They were by far the cheapest quote we got for an end of tenancy clean and they did a really thorough job and left the house immaculate. I will definitely be using their services again when I need another end of tenancy clean. Highly recommend

Excellent service and high quality clean. Very approachable and really good value. Of particular benefit was the online price calculator. Would recommend to anyone who is in need of an end-of-tenancy clean.

Brilliant company! Ticks all the boxes for me - highly recommended

these girls do a great job and are very pleasant.

Excellent Cleaning and laundry service.very reliable and friendly service. Have been using for many years now and no complaints whatsoever. I can highly recommend.

I used FTT myself to recover data from a fluid damaged machine and later recommended them to my boyfriend when he cracked his laptop screen. On both occasions their service was excellent, very quick, (within a couple of hours for my data retrieval, after being told it would take a week by PC World) and reasonable prices (both essentials as a student). I would recommend them to anyone!

Brilliant place for your pc/laptop repairs. Very helpful and knows what he's doing. I hhave used it twice and the prices are great

A Professional and friendly service. Great customer service and advice. I’d highly recommend Mike. He’s knowledgeable and does a really great job. Price I’ve found to be competitive. Door to door pick up and delivery when required which is reliable and with good time keeping. I’d highly recommend this service. I’d definitely use them again.

Thanks for a great service, Michael! Exceeded expectations! I felt well looked after and sure that my computer will be taken care of. Super fast and professional service. Highly recommended. Thanks again

Was not to sure what to do with my laptop charging port ,I tried to call orginally to no avail. I tried ringing a few other places in the meantime and they simply told me a price without really knowing the issue. I received a call back about 30 mins after trying to call,which suprised me. The guy who called back (which I forget his name,sorry) really listened to me and gave me some advise in regards to how I can potentially fix it without necessarily having to come down and pay to just replace it. If I can fix it myself I will come down to spend that money on some updates on the laptop which I learned I could on this call aswell. Really impressed me that he seem to care about just helping me out,rather than just dismisisng my lack of knowledge.Top customer service.

On behalf of Building Surveyors Ltd I would like to stress just how satisfied we have been with the quality of service and website project delivery. We have had a bespoke website built to our requirements which in a short space of months has improved or intake of clients. I would like to highlight the attention to detail of the staff at Sleeky and would not hesitate them as an affordable Efficient service provider.

Fantastic web & graphic design company! Couldn't recommend them enough... David is fantastic and his team couldn't be more talented & helpful. Thanks!

When we wanted a website, Nick was the most approachable and knowledgeable about Wordpress and DIVI Theme, designer that we considered. He is not only excellent with the technical skills but his artistic background brings an imaginative and creative approach to the design. We were so pleased with the result that we had him build a second website for us. I can thoroughly recommend him to anybody who needs a website designed or assistance with DIVI Theme.

I am using the DIVI theme, and I need some urgent help. If you are having problems with your DIVI theme, this is the company I would highly recommend. These guys are DIVI theme experts. A big THANK YOU.

Right from the start the team understood exactly what we wanted to achieve. As we are a new business getting our brand across was massively important to us and they could not have done a better job. Throughout the design and launch they were always on hand to answer any questions and I would recommend them to any business. Zucchini Pasta Bar.

When Google informed us they were going to penalize us for not being mobile friendly we began a yearlong quest to figure out how to do it right and meet our high visual customer standard. We have been optimized very well since 2004 and wanted to make sure we kept our SEO. We were also very concerned with the design aspects since we were not familiar with responsive design. My partner is the tech part of the equation and she had some very strong ideas on what she wanted. While doing research on responsive design we came across an article written by Graham Miller about this subject. His approach was compelling and we looked into his company. From the start, we could tell they understood responsive design and the thinking behind it. We had to take many leaps of faith during the process because we just did not possess enough knowledge. Edward Robertson team worked with us cheerfully the entire time. Trying to get us what we wanted yet also pushing for things they felt were important. It was a strong give and take and a great collaboration. When a company is willing to stand their ground, it allows you to trust when they agree. When you are working in unfamiliar territory it is important to feel your guide is watching out for you not just telling you what you want to hear. My partner wanted things they did not initially provide but they were willing to work with us. Our site is a HUGE and Visually demanding. Our entire presence in the industry is based on this website. Their patience, professionalism and willingness to work with us allowed us to create the best website in the world for what we do! They did a fantastic job. Thank You Edward Robertson! Chris Buffalo

Very nice place for a meet up with local friends. Feels like a sort of cozy home without pretense. No wifi but who needs that with so many books around.

Always fabulous. Chilled out vibes, great coffee, fresh food. My favourite!

Fantastic service. The staff couldn't have been anymore helpful really made our large party with young children very comfotable. The food was delicious. We had the chooza chicken three flavours peri peri and lemon and jerk all were spot on. Also tried the roast chicken meal also spot on. Definatly will be returning the chickens were perfectly cooked and portions were just right so value for money.

Great food great service everytime

On the plus side the cakes and drinks were really good and the service was good and it's a nice place to sit. However the main courses were average and the portions were small. Also it's way too expensive for what you get.

Their yogurt with granola is the most idiotic packaging - you certainly need a table, two hands, and and napkin to eat it. Very expensive for the portion size, and a puzzling product for the train station.

Excellent. Repaired my tumble dryer for £69. Whenever ive had problems in the past with dryers i just binned them and got into debt buying another. Not anymore. THANK YOU DUNSTON APPLIANCE CENTRE. Also Knowledgeable staff on phone

Been here for years really good shop...

Can't fault their efficiency at fixing the washing machine, or the reasonable prices. My only slight issue is that the repairman was late, and I didn't get a call to say this (although they did knock some money off the bill!)

Great service of a first class company

Best engineer with first class knowledge

Phoned the shop late last wednesday afternoon when my tv just stopped working. Very helpful over the phone and suggested to save time and money to bring the tv along to the shop the next day. Immediately diagnosed a possible electrical fault with the incoming power. Left with him after an initial payment of £60 to examine the tv. Phoned on monday to say everything was repaired and only an additional £30 was required. Came back to the shop monday afternnoon, picked up the tv, now back in place and in working order. Very professional service without fault.

Professional and seemed to have done a good job. Totally transparent - identified problem with a camera which they clearly showed huge gaps in the drains causing water leaking all over the garden. Why only 3 stars. Seems expensive - nearly £700 including VAT for a few hours work and some new plastic pipe for the drain. This was the price quoted so totally up front but subsequently read that somebody else paid £350 for a similar job a few years ago. It may be that this is the standard price - I’m no expert - but compared to other jobs I have done in the house this seems quite a lot. So in summary you will probably get a good professional service but may be worth shopping around first . (In reply to owner response) - Thanks for commenting on my review. It’s great that you take the time to read them and are interested in what the customers think and shows your care. Perhaps I have been a harsh and as I said in my review I am no expert. I did except the quote and based on the quote given I felt it was fair and a fairly extensive job - so I was surprised it took less than two hours. For comparison sake I recently paid £150 a day for team of two joiners to do some work on my house - they were here from 9-5 doing fairly complex and skilled work. As I said though I am no expert but just going on previous work I have done on the house. - I know comparisons with other trades may be difficult. However, what equates to £300 a hour for drainage work seems quite high to me - I may of course be wrong and other companies may be even higher. I certainly have no hard feelings about this - as I stated in my review the work was professional - so far the job seems a good one - and enviro clear has been transparent throughout with no hidden costs at all. As you stated I did have time to seek other quotes and probably should have - it may well have been that your company was still the cheapest.

Came out within the time promised. Cleared the drain quicker than any other company I've used and for a cheaper price. The staff both on the phone and who came out were polite and friendly. Paying over the phone was quick and simple. Thank you all! Highly recommended, would use you again (but I hope I don't have to :) )

Excellent. Repaired my tumble dryer for £69. Whenever ive had problems in the past with dryers i just binned them and got into debt buying another. Not anymore. THANK YOU DUNSTON APPLIANCE CENTRE. Also Knowledgeable staff on phone

Been here for years really good shop...

Really great guy, Chris taught me and my 2 sisters a few years back. He is excellent, laid back and very proficient. I would recommend him to anyone.

Richie was by far the best instructor I have had over my time as a learner driver. He has been more of a friend than simply an instructor and quickly recognised the level of driving I was at when I first started with him. He was calming and reassuring as well as firm and to the point when necessary. I am extatic to say I passed under Richie and could not recommend him any more.

Richie was recommended to me as an exceptional driving instructor known for his patience and also his ability to work with some of the most nervous of students. I decided to contact him to teach my 17 year old son to drive who was very nervous about having driving lessons. Richie was able to put him at ease before his very first lesson as at our request he came in to our home to have a chat with us all so that my son could dispel his nerves and feel comfortable about the situation. This really helped to break down the nerves that my son was feeling and although not everyone would invite Richie in to their home, it shows he is willing to have a flexible approach towards helping his students, which is great. Richie didn’t disappoint, my son passed his test first time making us very proud of our sons achievements and thanks to Richie’s dedication and support towards him we now have a confident young man ready to take on new challenges. Kelly Leybourne

I learned to drive through jowetts, my driving instructor was brilliant and I never had any problems with timing of lessons, my instructor was called Michael he was very patient and prompt. I always felt comfortable contacting the jowetts office and the lady who answers the phone is delightful, so polite all of the time. Best wishes to jowetts Scott Blackwell

Really friendly service, fixed my gear box cover very quickly and only charged the call out fee which was really reasonable. I would definitely use RJ Mobile again.

Couldn't recommend RJM enough. I sent him a message via Facebook and had a response within seconds! Following this I was accommodated within a couple of days. When he turned up it took about an hour. I got a noticeable performance boost on my VW Golf. Very pleased!

Excellent service, always reliable and trustworthy. I've been a customer for nearly 12 years and always been very happy with the service I've received. Thanks guys A Brown

Excellent service today as always, great price and always happy to fit you in when they can, highly recommend

I always go to them for lights needing replaced etc. Seem decent fellas and aren't a rip off.

Fantastic service, very friendly, very reliable and great price and done a fantastic job would highly recommend

Highly Professional!! I cannot fault Ben and his team at Bridge Electrical. They are highly professional, but warm and friendly. They come when they say they are going to; they find you the best solution; deliver that solution perfectly to the highes standard; and always check you are happy. I would highly recommend Bridge Electrical for any job big or small; domestic or business.

Great guy. Nothing is too much trouble. Very friendly, reasonably priced and honest. What more can you ask.

Sound as a pound. 3rd time I’ve contacted them in 5 years and each time I’ve started new jobs within a few days. The agency staff are very hardworking, always busy but very helpful & professional. Would defo recommend.

Had a job within two days of joining and after that job ended had another induction within two days! Supportive staff who are bending over backwards to get you work. Very clean and smart modern office in a great location in the city center. Worth five stars all day.

This is the best agency I have worked for! I have worked for them for around 4 years on and off and I am satisfied every time! They help you in any way you need it and if you make sure you get to work and don’t let them down you’ll never be out of work.. I would work for this agency any time they need me!

Honestly don't know why the reviews are so bad. Lovely staff, very helpful, found me a very suitable placement with no fuss, and have been exceptionally helpful and kind.

Long wait at times.

Streets going accross on your right hand side towards Lowfell is more nicer than the street's to your left

Good

I booked Graeme for a special birthday party and he was great! He thoroughly entertained a mixed age group audience of 70 people with great tricks and fabulous entertainment. Some of his magic took our breath away. He was really good with all the guests young and old (and in between!) and really set the scene for the whole event. He was courteous, obliging and funny and the hour long appearance I booked him for was a brilliant investment. If your looking for a great magician and a great entertainer then look no further than Graeme!

Booked Graeme for a Birthday bash last weekend, about 70 attended. Great close-up magic, worked every table and group, and post-event I had overwhelmingly rave reviews from all. In addition he is very professional and a pleasure to deal with beforehand. Highly recommended.

Tip top and fabulous! Having seen Flash at a community event I booked him for a birthday party and was not disappointed. Energetic and fun with great party games, balloon models of choice and good humour... a lovely style which the kids really enjoyed. I also bought halloween balloons another time which were brilliant and went down a storm. Hoping to attend or book for an event to see the magic tricks for adults in the near future. Recommend wholeheartedly!

We had flash for my children's birthday party. He was fantastic kept all the children entertained for the full 2 hours. I would highly recommend flash for your party or function.

What can I say, from start to finish Nicholas Humphreys helped us through teach step of the process for renting our house, very professional service the staff went out the way to accommodate our needs, everything went very smoothly, we have used other agents in the past and all the were interested in was the money but Nicholas Humphreys has completely changed our rental experience. Highly recommend best estate agents in Newcastle by far. Keep up the great work guys!

I have used Pattinsons estate agents over the last 4- 5 years for renting a number of different properties, they have been more than helpful over the years to find the property that is suitable for me and my family. Efficient, reliable, friendly and professional. I would highly recommend.

We have been a customer of Pattinsons for a long time and have always found them to be professional trustworthy and helpful. Everyone we have spoken too or asked for advice has been outstanding.

Adele has done great job finding reliable tenants for both my properties very quickly. Many thanks.

Adele is a fantastic agent, quick to communicate, personable and professional. Adele went out of her way to accommodate what I needed in a difficult situation. She processed my application quickly and was thoughtful enough to communicate daily and reassure me all was well. I love my new flat. What an asset to the Rook Matthew Sayer team!

Nicola and Katherine are always very helpful and nothing is too much trouble.We are very satisfied with the service we receive and would not hesitate to recommend your company.

lowes have managed my financial affairs for 24years without a single glitch. I cannot speak too highly of their professional,polite and friendly way in which they offered advice to my questions I would advise anyone who may be looking for a financial advisor to speak with Lowes. Paul. Patchett

Once I decided it was time to sort my pensions out, I spoke to Paul Bain at Gale and Phillipson to help me create a retirement plan. I wanted to make sure I have enough retirement income for me but can also pass some money down to my children. Paul listened to me and explained all of the options that were open to me. He communicates with me regularly and has given me confidence about my future retirement

I have been using Michael Cope of Ellis Bates for the last 20 years and always found his service and approach second to none. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and the firm.

What an amazing company. From start to finish this company couldn't of done any more. They are lovely. We lost my brother and Chris was brilliant he helped us from the first day of arranging the funeral to bringing his ashes home. Absolutely brilliant I can't fault them at all. I will be taking a funeral plan out with them and will be using them again when needed. All I can say is thank you for giving my brother the best funeral possible xx highly recommended xx

My sincere thanks go to Chris for making the hardest thing lv ever done that little bit easier to handle. The service from CM Walkers is fantastic. Many many thanks.

The Reverence and sympathy shown before, during and after the Funeral was brilliant. Second to none. Thank you very much indeed I would recommend this Funeral Directors to anyone who requires a Professional Attitude. H Hill

We asked them to lay a wreath on a grave in a cemetery in Gateshead on the centenary of the death of a relative who died while serving in the army in France in WW1. We live in East Anglia and so were unable to do it ourselves. They prepared the wreath exactly as we wished it and laid it on the grave at only one day's notice. The wreath was beautiful, we are very pleased with the outcome and with the excellent service. The staff were friendly and helpful and there was no delivery charge!

Jo has done a fantastic job of redesigning our garden to meet both our requirements and budget. We also had the tendering and construction managed for us, and really liked being presented with the quotes from contractors who were tried and tested. Jo really took all the stress of having our garden re-modelled and thoroughly recommended. Looking forward to spending long summer evenings in our new garden.

Jo from Elmfield Gardens transformed our garden! Form first meeting, to design and project managing the construction of our new garden Jo was fantastic! A very professional company - Thank you for our beautiful new garden - can't wait for our first BBQ!

Well I am bias, I like working here!

Great place to work

I’ve been going to this salon for the last 20 years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The value for money is incredible and these ladies are fantastic stylists. Every time I go here I’m made to feel welcome and everyone is so chatty and friendly. Best hairdresser around in my opinion.

Been coming to Valencia since i was a child. All the staff are lovely and happy to help even if you change your mind half way though a cut. I bring 2 year old son with me to get my hair cut and he doesn't bat an eye lid. they are experts and i never have to worry about a thing here.

Helpful lovely ladies and fantastic price cuts. It's hard to find a hairdresser you're happy with..until I went to Lox! Excellent layering :)

My wife used it for the first time she was happy with the friendly service

Finding a new hairdresser is not an easy task, it has to be someone you can trust and feel confident with. I found that person in Claire. Claire is incredibly skilled in colouring and styling. The amount of positive comments she receives speaks volumes. The salon is fab, loved the massage chair whilst having my hair washed. Really impressed when Jonathan (owner) came over and acknowledged me and commented on my hair. Proves how important his customers are. Loved my experience and so glad I put my trust in Claire, my hairdresser for life.

I've been going to the salon for more years than I care to remember, with Claire, Laura, Emma and other staff too. I love the salon as it is so relaxed and I like to change my colours and styles all the time - nothing is too much trouble and I get great advice against my excesses! Every stylist is highly skilled and experienced - I wouldn't recommend anywhere else.

Fantastic traditional barbershop. It's like stepping back in time a hundred years ! Always get a fantastic cut off all the barbers all trained to a high standard. Reasonably priced for a city centre barber but do expect a wait at peak times.

Old fashioned barbershop, excellent work and really good at what they do. You can expect a queue whenever you are there but the service is quick and speedy

Put a relaxer on my hair which completely damaged my hair to the point I thought I was going to have it all cut off into a pixie cut. The staff at Toni and Guy were absolutely amazing, Sam who done my hair and Lewis who helped did such an amazing job and we’re so friendly and only having to have it cut shoulder length was such a relief. They honestly worked wonders on my hair and did such an amazing job, thank you so much Toni and Guy!!!

Had my hair dyed here in the beginning of May. Really loved the balayage and still getting compliments on my hair. The results were exactly as I had imagined and I was not disappointed. A great experience and friendly staff.

Traditional Italian hairdresser. Always best to make an appointment. I've been going for 25+ years.

Great place, had three haircuts here so far and know that as long as I'm in Newcastle, I'll be going here.

Good price (student discount allowed, and a wash included despite me not being bothered about this bit), good chat from all staff, proper consultation before cutting, products suggested and trialled. Generally a great vibe and best haircut in a long time. Danke.

Fab hairdresser's they listen, advise and care about you and your hair. I wouldn't go anywhere else now

Always find the girls to be very friendly, I 'pop' in on off chance to get my hair cut and even if I have to wait there's always something to chat about, never had any problems with this salon,, prices are good too, I will recommend

Always a good trim

Excellent barber 💈

Really great. I'd struggled to get insurance as a software and services provider to oil & gas industry suppliers. All the 'big' companies I tried just didn't understand (or take the time to understand) my business. Thanks guys for sorting it out for us.

5 star service. For The Message Trust - As a charity having a Broker who fully understand our business is essential Talbot Jones Risk Solutions have been excellent. With regular contact, providing top level customers service and always finding the best solutions for our requirements. Always willing to help and provide advice. I can't recommend TJRS highly enough!

Very friendly staff and helpful in explaining things when not sure about something. I would recommend anyone to take out car/taxi insurance policy's with them. I know I can trust westminster insurance unlike some of the other dodgy companies out there who rip you off. Also don't go for the cheapest quote on compare sites as it might be cheaper but not always ok so check them out if they are not a big company or at least read reviews. I hope we can renew with them again and again for our taxi but I suppose it does come down to the cost and so far it's our 2nd year with them and very happy, no problems.

Great service. I highly recommend them. The driver was punctual, professional, and very friendly. He asked us what music we liked, open doors for us, and there were water bottles and gum prepared in the car as well. I will definitely be a returning customer.

Not having a clue what I was stepping into as a first time buyer, the guys at First Mortgage made the entire process extremely easy and stress free! They helped find the best mortgage for me given my circumstances, and dealt with the entire application. Setting everything up, the input required from myself was minimal, and I was given regular updates throughout the whole process. First Mortgage also recommended a solicitor, who were also great and helped me complete the sale to a deadline. Would definitely recommend anyone to use these brokers! 5/5.

The people at First Mortgage were very helpful in responding quickly to all our queries and set up our first meeting very soon after we contacted them. We were a little concerned that the case manager we were initially assigned to left unexpectedly after about a week, but Stephanie took up our case and was much more organised and prompt than he first person we worked with. It was really helpful to have someone managing the mortgage side of things, since my husband and I are quite busy people and buying a house can be extremely time consuming. They certainly saved us a lot of unnecessary hassle!

Canine capers is just absolutely amazing! Just what we need for our lil pup, milo. Very professional, reliable and milo is always well looked after ! Highly recommend canine capers for dog walks and dog boarding!!

Great dog walker & very good prices

Excellent public resource full of books/dvds/computers and local resources you can search. The shop has interesting books about local history. Cafe is lovely with helpful staff, lovely coffee and lots of food choices including gluten /dairy free options. The hand cut chips are lovely. The only downsides are the same for all public resources - difficulties keeping the toilets clean (on the ground floor) and also, without wanting to sound mean, no choice of who sits next to you. Usually it's a great place to work and read but you the most disruptive groups are the people who use it as a meeting place for chatting, whether that be the youngsters or the other groups that congregate here. A more regular clean of the toilets on the ground floor would help I think. And if you're a girl in your own, try to sit on a table with other girls to avoid being ogled.

Great library, good place to work and relax. Just a shame some of the people who use it are mostly noisy teens. Parking is all paid unless you walk ages.

A really nice and quiet library in where the staff are really nice. The main problem is due to the government cuts they are barely open and they mainly don't have as much books than they used to.

Friendly, community run library. Valuable local resource.

The staff are nice and helpful

Small library but nice. Also a swimming pool inside

Jason painted the exterior of our house. He was prompt, professional and took pride in his work. Very tidy, too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and will certainly use him again; hopefully painting some of the interiors. He also gave an exact start date so I could get the scaffolding in time, and turned up promptly finishing the job as promised.

I found Jason to be very professional, reliable and reasonably priced. A very friendly and polite service from start to finish. The work involved painting the exterior walls of my house, it now looks amazing, like new again and despite some very bad weather this year, the job was completed very speedily. I can whole heartedly recommend Jason and his team. Thank you Jason, kind regards, Ian.

Heaton decorators were super. A very professional, quality finish and helpful with advice. I'd definitely use them again.

Mehki recently painted my living room, stairs and landing. He did an excellent job and left the place clean and tidy. I would highly recommend him.

Such a lovely experience. Sean was so helpful, enthusiastic, bubbly, full of knowledge and ideas, and he also 2was endlessly reassuring. He blended into the wedding like he belonged there, and now that we have the photos we can't believe he took so many, from so many different angles, without us even noticing! I don't know how he did it. And such beautiful images... Thank you!

Sean did my daughters wedding at The Baltic some time ago. I have just stumbled afresh on his site and want to post a comment. He is creative and provides something different and the quality of the work and processing team is excellent. The images that remain with us most of the wedding are those quirky photos of wellingtons in the snow and photos shot just outside The Baltic agains the rust backdrop. I will use him again, but hopefully not for another wedding.

Choosing a photographer for a wedding is not easy. By accident I stumbled upon Sarah and her studio in Newcastle City Centre and it was obvious from the start that she was a true professional and a cut above the rest. Yet her rates were extremely competitive. On the day her style was unobtrusive yet very reassuring. Resulting in a fabulous series of shots, building upon a story throughout the day. Starting with my beautiful bride at home in Darras Hall, followed by St Marys in Ponteland and the reception finale at Jesmond Dene House. My new wife commented that she thought Sarah was a really lovely person and made her feel so comfortable throughout the day. Without hesitation I would recommend you speak to Sarah and look at her work before even considering anyone else. A legitimate professional, with a studio and full portfolio of both personal and commercial photography.

No words just AMAZING . 28-07-2018 . We had the pleasure of Chris and Shazia sharing our daughters and son-in-laws wedding day , and we say sharing simply because , their compassion and professionalism were second to none . They went above and beyond their duties of photography by adding their personnel touch. We really can’t thank yous guys enough . Brian and Jeanette Morgan (re Laura & Paul Stavers Wedding )

Chocolate Chip Photography did my Maternity and Newborn photos. I can thoroughly recommend them. I’m so pleased I chose them to do this once in a lifetime set of photos. Right from the maternity photos, I felt so much at ease and even felt confident enough to do some very natural shots with my husband when I was 36 weeks pregnant. Shazia has such a keen eye for detail and Chris has endless patience to get that perfect shot with your baby. My daughter, Grace, was just 4 days old when they did her newborn photos. After a traumatic emergency caesarian birth, I was very drained by this time but was able to leave Grace in Chris’s hands while I relaxed in the comfy viewing area in the studio. All I needed to do was feed her and change her nappy as required. When Grace was 10 days old we also had some family shots done with my 16 year old son to complete the set. We now have a set of beautiful and unique photos to celebrate Grace’s early days and have two incredible pieces of artwork on our walls: one includes Grace with a unique prop; the other is a set of four prints of our family in one. Both are in gorgeous, modern frames. Seeing those shots in series the first time with lovely music playing in the background during the viewing session was such an emotional experience for us both. If this is something you’re considering having done, I would definitely choose Chocolate Chip Photography. You’re getting the highest quality of beautiful and unique photos and the best experience ever. You only get this opportunity once in your baby’s life so let the best capture these moments for you.

Great local plumber

Highly recommended. Completed our bathroom renovation/conversion two days ahead of schedule with all the work completed to an exceptional standard.

Just used services of this printing place for the first time and can only recommend them. The owner was very kind and helpful, let me download document from my Google Drive and then print it and the overall quality of the paper and the print itself was excellent. Definitely go to this place instead of the city library where the prices are a complete rip off.

Very friendly staff who helped with our wedding invites. Printed quickly and very reasonable. Thanks :)

Excellent printing service! Great quality print for a really decent price. The fact that they print for you while you wait is really great and comes in handy when you are in a pinch over deadlines. They have saved my life more than once! Lovely staff who are kind, friendly and do whatever they can to help you out. Wonderful customer service! I would highly recommend everyone come here for your printing needs! 10/10 Great service!

Great service! Staff are friendly. I ordered several large printouts and was promised to have them ready by 11:00 am, but they mananged to get it all done by 9:45 am. Overall very pleased. Metro Repro, you've earned yourselves a new loyal customer.

I was recommended to get my work done here. A very fast, professional service where you get quality work at a good price. Any subsequent work will be taken here in the future. Thanks!

Amazing service! I needed an urgent work done. I contacted photo line at 8pm, uploaded my work at 2am (in the night!) and it was ready by 9am! Andrew was extremely helpful, including calling me at 7am with advise I asked for. The booklets that I ordered were amazing and professional. Highly recommended. Thank you to all the team.

Make sure you have the items you want to dispose of sorted into the correct skip. The staff will keep you right. This is a very busy place and you can sometimes wait for up to half an hour to get to the dumping place. It frequently closes early when the skips are full.

Clearly labelled skips, easy to get rid of stuff including broken electrical goods - just ask the staff where to go if you're not sure. Do check the opening hours and check the council's Facebook / Twitter to see if it's had to close early - and be prepared to wait in a queue if you turn up on a Saturday morning!

Amazing! Very good support and help. I would recommend this over any other recycling centre!

Genuinely good people will help when ever asked nothing is a problem to them

Brilliant professional service and nothing was too much trouble. For Piano deliveries / collections these are the guys you want. Thanks.

Absolutely top rate team of guys and brilliant service. Would highly recommend to anyone. Also top notch friendly service and advice throughout process.

Just used these to carry out a house and garage clearance at a property In Kingston Park, Newcastle. I was surprised they was working with it been the bank holiday but they was and the lads that carried out the job done a very good job. So if the need arises and a friend needs a removal or clearance i would recommend these

Recently used these to clear out my garden as we had been using it as a junk yard for years so finally decided it was time to clear it away... our garden was like a hoarders paradise and the neighbours was not very happy so I made the call... a chap called out and assessed the mess and left we with a quotation as I wanted several quotes. So a week later I called this firm back and they sent over several large vans/trucks and 4 or 5 men and between them they had the whole yard cleared within 2 days and we was expecting them to take them a week easily... all said and done the place was cleared and they even swept up the remaining little bits... so as local rubbish removals or local yard Clearance companies goes this one was decent.

Great service and price at short notice, thanks

I contacted Robert on a very short notice to complete a long distance job. He always got back to me within a short delay, and offered a competitive price. He has been very helpful and we will be using his services again.

Best takeout in the North. The lads who work here have hearts of gold and treat everyone with respect. The food is amazing (would recommend the spicy chicken pizza to anyone who likes a kick). Once I saw them give food to a homeless gentleman which shows how much love and care they put into their work. They have a loyal customer for life :)

Really good service and some of the best takeaway food In town. Can't recommend enough.

Food surprisingly good. Only fault Is portion size....was a bit naff.

Good for a quick grab.

Didn't have half the menu and the till not working so no receipt. The food itself was plentiful and tasted good

Good take away, nice pizza and chicken kebabs. Delivers too.

Very professional and courteous service and great workmanship and materials which I can't fault on my Churches shoes - at half the cost and a quarter of the time Rowland Davies Wales

Very professional, arrived on time, great service and a great price. Changed my locks quickly and efficiently, I would recommend to everyone. Couldn't have asked for a better service.

Thank you to Tyne Tees Locks for an excellent service. Shaun arrived quickly after I called and was able to get me back into my home after I stupidly got myself locked out. He was very friendly and very polite and done the work at a fair price!

Prompt communication, helpful advice and friendly service. Very careful work and reasonable price. Will definitely use again if required.

We have recently had the pleasure to work with TLS family locksmiths on a training course and attended jobs with them and i have to say they are some of the nicest locksmiths we have worked with, customer care, quility are very high on there list and we have learned allot from them. Highly recomended and our business has taken on board how a locksmith business should be ran.

Very friendly and professional. Quick to respond too! Highly recommend .

I really recommend this agency as a professional team.

Hey what up

Very professional and approachable people. I was extremely satisfied with everybody I had dealings with.

Brilliant. Called Tonight Taxi was there within 5 mins. No.questions asked Newcastle To Durham Spot on worth every penny.

Need to make changes to mobile app.. Even though I put in the Notes section the name of the passenger and his contact mobile number, I still get listed as the passenger and the texts still come to me. either nobody reads the notes or they are just ignored. There needs to a place to insert name of passenger (if not you) and mobile contact (If not yours). Email about the charge for the journey should still go to the card holder of course. Otherwise always had good, prompt service.

Really surprised by all the negative reviews as I've only had good experiences with Gateshead Central. Most recently I was stranded in Durham alone late at night, set to wait two hours til 1am for a train home to Newcastle. Despite it being outside of their usual service area I was sent a taxi immediately, the operator stayed on the phone with me to help me find the car and overall I felt very much looked after as a young girl travelling alone at night. Fantastic customer service and I really felt as though the staff genuinely cared. Will only use this firm now.

Brilliant service. Myself and my fiance were able to book a dream first holiday together to Cuba at a discounted price all thanks to Fiona. Not to mention a free coffee and glass of wine while we booked. Will be recommending to friends and family.

Booked 4 or 5 holidays, all through different agents, even one by phone. Experience was first class. Everyone helpful and holidays at a good price. Will match Internet prices. Excellent service. I only wish I didn't get as many follow up emails about holidays. Once a month would be fine not every few days!?

Great travel experts. Had a brilliant trip to New Zealand with them last year and looking to arrange a trip to far East and Australia next year

Big shout out to Trailfinders and Joe Tomlinson in particular. My daughter currently on holiday in Bali was due to be transferred to Lombok islands tomorrow by boat for 4 days. Massive earthquake resulting in multiple fatalities and much devastation on Lombok earlier today. Several desperate phone calls by myself to Trailfinders. Result being they've extended her stay on Bali and refunded difference. Pleasure to deal with maintaining a common sense attitude throughout. Highly recommend them.

New store excellent totally accessible

We use Holly Armstrong all the time for our holidays, Holly is exellent she goes that extra mile to accommodate us and is so frendly. Exellent customer service.

Friendly, trustworthy and efficient service. Good central location. Recommend.

BRILLIANT CANNOT FAULT THEM, NOTHING WAS A PROBLEM, WOULD DEFO RECOMMEND THANKS DBS MY TV IS BACK TO BEING NEW AGAIN

Called into the store on Northumberland Street, Newcastle and these guys ( especially Elvin) were so helpful and sorted out my new Samsung phone. Couldn't thank them enough for all the help they gave me. I would recommend getting your new phone from here.

Come in with a dodgey battery. Phone was old. Elvin has sorted me out with a brand new phone set it all up for me. Very happy!

Knowledgable, helpful and not pushy. We were impressed with the sales teams technical knowledge and helpful but not overbearing approach. They were also very competitive on price and the best around in offering a 6 year guarantee on the item we wanted. Overall very satisfied with the buying process.

Lovely, friendly staff. Got what I asked for and got more than what I paid for. Definitely recommend!

Our poor wee cat had a lump appear just under her right eye, she could hardly open it. It was a Saturday morning and our local PDSA was shut. We were offered an emergency appointment at PDSA Gateshead, we then took her there thankful for the last minute call and appointment. We got there and were greeted with a very friendly smiling receptionist, who took our cats and our details and said the vet would be with us in a minute. Once in to see the vet she put as and our cat at ease, she then informed us that Deisel had an ulcer in her right eye. She then put eye drops in to get rid of the ulcer, she also gave an injection to help with the pain. She said she was giving us the eye drop medication and we had to put a drop in her eye morning and night. We waited and got the eye drops, you don't have to pay for this but if you can afford anything towards the cost then you do so. We gave them £30 towards the cost of treatment which was £73, if we could have given more we would have but unfortunately didn't have the funds to give anymore. We're ever so grateful for the way we and diesel were treated at very short notice. Can't praise the work these people do in helping people's pets who are sick or injured. So a huge big thank you to the PDSA..

Great place to take your sick pets took my dog as she'd done something to her paw but turned out ok in the end

Very helpful and very reasonably priced for treatments.

Took great care of my golden retriever when he had to be operated on in short notice, great staff and excellent vet's (thanks first vet's )

We needed a vet for our dog whilst on holiday. We were able to get an appoinment at short notice and treatment.

I have tried a few local window cleaners but they seem to come for a few months then they don’t come back I have now been using TK for about a year and they always come and they always seem to have a smile on their face unlike the others I have used very happy thank you

What a great team , I've had this company clean my windows for the last 5 years and I could not fault them whatsoever , trustworthy friendly and very professional , highly recommend!

Great work. Even though I forced Paul to change my appointment day twice he was more than happy to help. Didn't understand the pure water system at first but the results were fantastic! Highly recommended.

Always professional friendly staff that do a fantastic cleaning job

Friendly fast service that always does that little extra to make the windows look neat and tidy!
