Summary
The customer needed a new drainage downpipe installed from the roofing gutter to the ground box and specified a black finish. Photos and specifications were provided to show the routing and connection points in New Lynn, Auckland. Work began after the selected offer of $150 was accepted from a pool of one offer. The installer found additional materials were required because a full assessment hadn't been possible beforehand, which meant multiple trips to Bunnings and some delay on the job. The downpipe was fitted to the agreed specification and left with a neat finish; the poster commented that the quality of work was good. However, the poster reduced the reliability and communication score, leaving an overall rating of 4/5 due to the missed pre-start inspection and the extra errands.

Job was completed and I’m happy with the quality of work. Reducing the score on Reliability/Communication because Bobby said he would look at the job before starting, but didn’t show up. This lead to needing extra materials (a couple of trips to Bunnings for me) on the day.

Since we’ve been doing some renovations I need a new drainage downpipe installed. From the roofing gutter to the ground box. I would like black colour downpipe please. See photos.
