Great local frendly bank with helpful staff.

Nice broke is Lee good barber my son swears by him

City centre location. Never too busy.

Cue was outside the door this morning but the staff were very friendly. Unfortunately not very helpful though with the online banking issues.

What I used to like was being able to talk and deal with an assistant ,now it's fully automatated,and I hate it I'm considering changing banks,been with this branch for over 30 yrs

nice people very helpful & got a great burger van outside too

Thanks guys really have done an amazing job! Will post pic soon xx

Reliable and professional. Never had a problem with them.

I have my own Architectural practice and have used Shield Builders on many of my projects. My clients have been very happy with their level of service and high standard of building. Most recently I have used them for a project on my own home and I am impressed by the skill of their tradespeople, especially on some of the more detailed work. I was also pleased they turned up when they said they would, they were friendly and polite and also left the house clean and tidy at the end of each day. Highly recommend.

Thank yo very much amazing people. My birthday was amazing. I came to your site on 21st of June at 2pm and i had Hyundai i10 ready at 3pm . Thanks to great and friendly staff i had this lovely maintained car available for 24 hours. I will be using your company from now on everywhere i go. And at the point of return it took 3 minutes to return. Thank you infinite times as great service is priceless.

Surprisingly small operation, long queue on arrival and only 2 staff onsite, but was attended to promptly; always slightly amazed that a vehicle isn't allocated when booking online, rather than 'oh, we usually have a couple of vans here, you can have that silver one...' No, your colleague has just rented that to the chap,in front of me... I'm paying up front, is it too much to ask that I can get the vehicle details in advance? Maybe it is :/ Not a ding at Enterprise, all rental places seem to operate the same way. Overall experience was fine though.

Very nice staff always kind, they take very good care of good customers. As a good customer I got a couple of nice upgrades, they did not have the cheap car I asked and did not hesitate in giving me a BMW. Great customer service. Not a single complain.

Fast, efficient processing of my online car rental reservation at Floating Bridge Road Southampton - was on the road in very acceptable time. Especially as two Cunard ships had just docked. Great work Christopher and DC and love the MB A180.

Rental car service is friendly and professional but book online beforehand for better prices. Walkin customers pay more. Cars are in good condition.

The ladies serving could not be more helpful and even teamed up us with a customer who was going our way as all the taxi companies going our way was booked out. Well done to them for going above and beyond what was required of them. A big thank you.

Amazing service and by far the best carpenters in Southampton. I used the contact form on their website and had a response within around 5 minutes. They were polite and courteous on the phone and we arranged a site survey for my kitchen extension. They arrived on time for the survey and were smart and presentable and once we agreed on a price and I paid a deposit, the work began about two weeks later. During the build of my kitchen extension, Bassett Carpentry kept the mess as minimal as possible and there was very little disruption. Once the work was completed, Andy & Pete went through the work that was carried out with a fine tooth-comb to see if anything had been missed. Fantastic service and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a kitchen extension in Southampton.

Bassett Carpentry built my loft conversion in Southampton back in 2016. They were friendly and professional which helped me choose them for the loft conversion. I was charged exactly what I was quoted and the final work was astounding. I highly recommend to anyone looking for carpenters in Southampton and I will definitely be using in the future.

Great job. Really accommodating and quick at very short notice.

Excellent workmanship. Would highly recommend to everyone.

I brought in my car on Tuesday evening and needed it the following day- they repaired it incredibly efficiently and I must say that my experience with the people working there was very pleasant indeed.

Couldn't help me with my needs but was happy to recommend someone who can and took the time to send me the contact information, overall a nice guy and I'll be contacting him for any future work I need doing. Thanks

Having been let down by another mechanic I took it straight to these guys. Had it done and returned within 3 hours. Excellent service even collected me when finished. Will be back thankyou.

Great garage very well priced and great staff quality job done thank you all

I've bought two cars from this garage within the last 3 years. The first I was able to part ex my vehicle for a really good price and picked up a cracking Honda Civic. To this day (touch wood) we've had no issues with it at all. Within the last year, I returned to Paynes to buy myself a cheap run around and received the same stellar service. Found a car and was able to get a decent deal with no issues or fuss. Highly recommend Paynes to anyone looking for an affordable second hand car. Scott is a great guy and really does all he can to help. I'll be returning in a few years (maybe sooner) to upgrade my civic!

Bought an Astra back in February. Love the car but experienced a fault almost straight away. I live quite far away from this garage and they sorted the fault out for me no problems. 5 months later unfortunately the head gasket decided to go. They were fair and professional and fixed the problem without any arguments. When I was without my car they loaned me a vehicle to use whilst mine was being fixed. Great customer service throughout and now very happy with the car. Would use again. Have had bad experiences with used car garages before but would class these guys as one of the best.

I have been a customer for about 6 years now and I always find the service they provide to be excellent. The staff are attentive and friendly, services are never pushed as the staff always give full explanations and options. I've never had to have any work 'redone' as the quality has always been good. I particularly like the new feature video where the mechanic talks you through the checks on your car and points out any issues. I will continue to use them in the future.

On Monday the air conditioning went on my car. At 2pm I contacted Doves and got it booked in for the following morning at 8am. By 11am that morning I had my car back with a new heater unit and control unit. They really were fantastic. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Had the opportunity to sit down with Dave and Lee today. What a wonderful down to earth team. They are honest and genuinely wanted the best outcome for me. They care. And it’s what makes the biggest difference as I was truly looked after from beginning to end. This customer service has rubbed off on the rest of the staff. Fantastic people

Excellent service. Got picked up at the airport as arranged. The car was presented ready to drive away in perfect condition. The car was exactly what I wanted and at the right price. Would certainly recommend Hollybrook Car Centre and I'm from Belfast ! John Dalton

Fantastic service, great communication and friendly staff. They worked extremely quickly to fix the scratches on my car, which now looks like new. I would highly recommend and will be going back again when needed. Thank you Stricklands!

Very helpful and friendly. Repaired the scratch on my car for an extremely low price and very efficiently. Would definitely use them again. Thank You

Amazing service!! After having woken up to a completely flat tyre and needing it sorting within 1 hour ABS auto managed to order the tyre I needed and get it fixed within the hour!!! Absolute top service!!! Wouldn’t go anywhere else now!!! Really great customer service!! Thank you!

I've not used this place for services but I was passing by on my motorbike today and noticed it felt pretty wobbly; the front tyre needed a healthy dose of air so I stopped out front and asked if they could help me out. A really friendly man let me use the air hose to top up the tyre with no inconvenience to himself whatsoever, no charge, just a really friendly free service for a biker in need. So on that note, I'd recommend the place solely on this encounter!

Craig did a perfect job on repairing two dents in my car, one quite substantial, for a very reasonable price. He kept me informed of time scales too. Magic !

amazing work done repairing a tiger bite damage, good pricing too!

The place could do with a bit of a spruce up and should open on time. However great £1 One way car hire deals

Friendly staff but all cars are booked out. Prebook online is recommended.

Great service but way too expensive. Loads of hidden extras they throw at you when you have actually turned up to collect. Cheeky.

Staff are awesome, prices are shocking especially for a repeat customer.... saved myself hundreds with a competitor with the same style of vehicle, age, condition ( I had an enterprise car with 15 miles and this other company I am using the car had 6 miles on the clock ) I just couldn’t justify the over £450 increase in price from the last hire - only last week... when not only is the car I’m now hiring cheaper on the quote for the next hire I wanted but also cheaper on the original i had last week.... same length, same time of week! Except two weeks in between and the reason I was given was ‘ we have a lot booked out so our prices increase’ NUTS!!!! Such a shame as the customer service was pretty cool!

Perfect location next to West Quay, plenty of cheap furniture.

I really don't know who the malicious individuals are writing the previous reviews but I can only speak from my own experience dealing with this Cobra Security. Cobra have undertaken several different aspects of security work for my company. They have provided security guards on short term contracts of normally 6-9 months. Their guards are always polite, very professional in the way they behave and their uniforms are always presentable. They also undertake security patrols on a few premises we own in vulnerable locations. They use a very good software reporting system which enables me to view exact times of any visits or response made. They always provide professional and clearly written reports. I particularly like the fact they use guard dogs with their patrol drivers. I have not found any other company locally who actually does this, despite their claims to the contrary. I have been so impressed with this company that they also now hold keys to my private residence which has proven very useful whilst I am away either on business or holiday. Keep up the good work Cobra!

Cobra provided a mobile response and site alarm system. Absolutely brilliant! Very efficient mobile units with excellent dogs. Instant results and solved my issues. Dont know what id do without them. Highly recommended!

Went here to get a new 5 point lock for my patio door. It was in stock and the service was prompt, friendly and fast. Absolutely great!

Excellent product knowledge and fitting in well with requirements .. delivered when stated ready for fitting by carpenter....great to have pressure taken off me to find and locate right locks etc...could not be bettered..

Fantastic quick service, very friendly staff and reasonable prices. Autotechnix is an excellent company to work with. Thank you for your professionalism and hard work. Pro Cars Southampton

Excellent service got me back on the road after my immobiliser started playing up, now I've got central locking back too and all for £66. Very happy customer. Thank you 👍

Great local car accessory store ,always helpful for what ever I have needed and always has something to get you out of trouble

Excellent knowledge, always got time for you. My first port of call EVERY time - highly recommend 👍🏼

I always get served quickly and efficiently here 😊😊😊😊

All the car parts you need

I bought my Wavetrac differential on October 2015 and got it fitted right away. Once I got my car out for a test ride, I use my car mainly for back roads and fast "canyon carving", I wasn't sure what to expect. All I said was "Oh my god"! It's like I had a totally different car! Superb handling and the differential feels awesome. It's not snappy or violent, you can feel the lock and suddenly you have all the grip in the world, provided the road is of somewhat good condition and not slippery as hell, and the car just pulls itself on the inside of the corner and follows the line you want. Just perfect. I think this is by far the best purchase I have done for my car. I LOVE IT. It's almost 2 years now and I had no problems at all. Worth every penny.

Had a Wavetrac in my MK5 Golf, Alpina B10 and Porsche Cayman S. Just about to fit one to my BMW M3 E92 and will more than likely continue to fit one to every one of my cars. Track day performance is incredible, especially in the wet or on tight tracks. Excellent on my daily Alpina too, rain, ice and snow - it's an all weather machine despite being an automatic BMW!

Great customer service, high quality work, good value.

Really helpful staff! Car was covered in a sticky brown marks, the guys did all they could to remove them, and even offered to let the car go through again if required. Thanks to their efforts it wasnt needed, and the car looked great! Would definitely recomend!

Efficient service and good value. Not sure the extras ( under body clean, alloy wheel treatment, final wax etc.) make any difference, though.

Kleenscan have been coming to our business for years. Nick is always friendly and reliable. His service is first class and I would highly reconnend him to any other business or private customer.

Quality service and friendly will definitely use this service again and well worth the money

Very impressed for the job, my 18 years old car seems brand new, I couldn't do better myself

Brilliant service! Car is shiny and happy! Wouldn't change for any other car wash, highly recommended!

Reasonable prices, good quick service

efficient workers and they work effectively.

My favourite place to eat! Great for the whole family

Very happy from the guys the did a great job on my car. Perfect on cleaning Best area to par for a bit the car near to all shopping center

Andy was a pleasure to deal with and his team were all prompt, professional and polite. I engaged Premise to strip, plaster, decorate, change lighting and add additional electrical sockets in my dinning room so that I could set up a home office/studio. I am very pleased with the result; this has transformed a dark and dated room into a really sharp bright and modern environment. The quality of finish achieved was spot on, in particular Peter Jackson’s work on the plaster and decoration was first class. I will use Premise again and will recommend them to friends.

We had to call Premise out as we had 2 blocked toilets. We had a great operative called Carl come out and after a good few hours of complete determination he managed to clear the blockage. Thank you so much Carl. 😊

Pleased with the work. John came out the same day to give me a quotation which turned out to be the best price out of 4. Engineer came on time and left no mess. Very happy.

Great service, very responsive. Engineer fixed my heating and hot water problem in less then 30 minutes. Very pleased, would definitely recommend.

Had a boiler fixed 4 years ago. A combi one. They did full install. It’s still going very well. Remote control unit is far too complex but that’s the product not them. Also had a very nice feature gas fire place. I’ve used a few and without a doubt, if you want to speak to a company that knows boilers and gas fires, use them.

Great service, timely efficient and cost effective, highly reccommend as an overseas landlord who have taken care of my property for past 15 years

Paul came out to service our boiler on a property we had just brought. Found the boiler was not working, supplied parts & fixed within 24 hours. Great guy and great service. Thanks again.

These guys are SUPERB!, friendly and very proficient. They provide a thorough professional service at great prices 👍

Professional service

Turned up when they said, promptly diagnosed problem, quoted for replacement part and got it delivered next day. Returned as arranged, all fitted and tested. What more can you ask for!!! I would thoroughly recommend!

Had boiler fitted 2yrs ago , done great job and has done 2 services at the time I wanted very friendly and professional , Great service 👍👍

A small, family run company, wouldn't use anyone else. Down to earth, sensible and transparent about pricing. Very knowledgeable about their craft, always happy to pop back or answer questions over the phone. A++

Have been using these guys for the past 5-6 years. Very friendly, excellent service and well priced. Would highly recommend!

Just had my end of tenancy cleaning done today. Iwona was very friendly and communicative about all the process. No complains! The two girls that cleaned the flat did a very good job and so quick! Would recommend it to everyone. Many thanks!!!++

I have been working for The Soap Opera for the last 6 years and I can honestly say that they pay a lot of attention to their cleaning standards and to customer service. As an employee, I have always been treated with a lot of respect and gratitude. I could not find a better job really! Iwona does her very best to keep everyone happy and she does it well.

Friendly, thorough why would you go anywhere else!

Great cleaners. Jobl done very good. No faults at all. Superb.

Lovely stuff, good cleaning service, great price...

Went in with a broken laptop which Alex was very quickly able to diagnose as having a broken hard drive. He replaced the hard drive with a new one, which was double the capacity of the old one as well as faster which has made the laptop noticeably quicker, and installed everything I needed on it. He was able to see me the same day I contacted him and after dropping it off Wednesday night it was ready the very next evening. He also kept me informed throughout the process and gave me lots of options as to how to proceed. All in all it was affordable, friendly and professional and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I will be using Alex's service in the future. I requested a fix for my 4 year old laptop to be fixed for overheating and general system lag. Alex diagnosed possible problems and relevant fixes quickly and explained them clearly. The costs was reasonable and quoted beforehand. The problems were fixed and checked up on a followup message. Very pleased with the service and the communication! Excellent!

Responded very quickly, and went that extra mile. Would not hesitate in recommending them!

Very helpful buut difficult to get to their offices, worth the effort though

I could not recommend a better company to use! From start to finish they made the process simple and easy to understand. I am far from savvy when it comes to website design, and had a lot of questions along the way, but they were happy to answer these, and provide the options available to me!

I can't say enough about BrightByte Studio. I have never worked with such a creative, flexible and talented group of people. The BrighByte Team is top notch with their customer service and has an incredible skill of understanding the clients needs and identity immediately. We searched for a company to help us with the design of our new website for almost a year and are truly blessed we found these guys. I can't speak highly enough and would recommend them a million times over! They are the best!

We've been using Sites For Business for the last few years and all I can say that these guys are brilliant! The support we receive is 5 out of 5 stars! Can't be better than this!

I've personally sat down with Ed and he is an honest and thoughtful on his approach. I wish him and the team the greatest of success... they offer solutions that clearly deliver

Thank you for the great service. April has been a pleasure to speak to and work with on the redesign of my business website and I'm very happy with the result. Many thanks, Jon Kaleidoscope Entertainment

I would highly recommend April at LittleBigBox. She is very patient, a lovely person and knows her stuff too! Very fast to respond to queries and nothing is too much trouble. If you are looking for someone to build a website, then look no further - you will not be disappointed. x

Kelvin was spot on with the reading.i feel more at ease now knowing certain things.thanks again Kelvin.

Pleasent experience

It may be unhealthy but it sure tastes great.

Engineer was called to my home at the request of Rangemaster to check problem with faulty opening of oven door on brand new range cooker. He arrived on time, was polite and courteous, was quickly able to diagnose the cause of the fault and immediately set about fixing the problem. Couldn't ask for a better service. Excellent work

Professional and friendly service not to mention very efficient. Less than 3 days from a phone call to a visit in Southampton to my appliance being repaired with the parts ordered. Highly recommend.

I had a very positive experience with this company. Our Bosch Dishwasher broke down, repair man came out quickly and efficiently at a reasonable cost. Pleasant and knowledgeable office staff who kept us updated every step of the way. Would recommend.

Would recommend this company ,fixed problem on the day so would definitely use them again

Brilliant service and very reasonable! Highly recommend! On contacting Premier Electrics I was greeted with very friendly and helpful staff who managed to book an engineer to visit me the following day after my washing machine broke down. The engineer turned up promptly and was very polite. He made the repair and gave the job his full attention and ensured the unit was in full working order. Having recently had a dish washer breakdown (not brought from Premier electrics and under manufactures warranty) that took 3 visits and 6 weeks to sort - i was delighted just how quickly these guys came out and fix the unit. Hopefully in the future i don't have any other appliances break down but if they do I will not hesitate to contact them again. Great prices and great service. Highly recommended!

Great service and very informative team. Lots of choices of appliances and the prices on big ticket appliances are competitive. Big thumbs up!

To jest mój Dom - mieszkanie. Mam piękne mieszkanie w nowym budownictwie.

So helpful! Gave me free advice about the possible faults on my washing machine and told me where to find the brushes in the motor. I had fixed my own machine in no time and saved a ton of money thanks to these guys. Highly recommended!

My freezer packed up, full of food. They delivered a new one to me within a couple of hours, and because of their brilliant service, i lost no food at all. Fantastic.

If you want a new piece of electrical furniture for your house then go here, but just keep in mind that you will have to pay extra for the privelige and I don't mean a couple of quid I mean vast amounts of Dosh. I would rather recommend that you just put a tenner a week by and when you have enough buy the item from somewhere like Curry's or Argos. Less debt and less expense. My rating for bright house is 4 stars out of 5 as this represents an ideal solution for the people with a low income. Thanks for reading my review. Jon.

It is what it is, staff who offer good customer service to people who normally can't afford the product at full price, why four stars, its the interest payment amounts if they were lowered it would be five stars

Able Landscape Gardening erect a gate and fence for me and I am really pleased with the end result. Excellent work and good price. Would recommend.

Basically it's a tip..........

I enjoy Zia's company and relate to his humour. He is very thorough with his teaching and knows his stuff! I appreciate he can be blunt and to the point when needed, but this works well for me. I highly recommend!!

In all honesty, Zia is a good instructor, but is not without flaws. Zia is very skilled at teaching all aspects of driving and was particularly adept at guiding me through maneuvers. Most of the time Zia is generally pleasant to be around. However, when making mistakes during normal driving, I got the impression he was getting irritated or losing his patience with me. This made me feel stressed and caused me to make more mistakes. Another downside is that Zia would regularly move my lessons from time slots I had booked weeks in advance. On more than one occasion, he did this without telling me. Zia is very busy, so when my time slot was changed I would have to rebook for a few weeks later. Despite these shortcomings, Zia is proficient at teaching driving, which is the most important thing.

I needed my exhaust box replaced quick, as I was off to Derby the next day. I rang late, about 3pm. They did a great job at an amazing price and had me back on the road in a few hours. I had a pleasant drive to Derby the next day. Will definitely use them again.

Top guy, very good prices. Very reliable and knows what he is talking about.

How refreshing to find an honest, reliable garage that doesn't prescribe unnecessary parts and more to the point charge you for them. I found Purple Garage to be totally trustworthy, reliable, friendly and on time. I took my car to a "National garage" feeling "safe" as they need to safeguard their reputation - but not so ! they prescribed more repairs than my car was actually worth - and no I do not drive an old banger. I had a similar experience last year when a different "national" garage serviced my car and put the wrong oil in which caused no end of problems and cost! I cannot thank My Purple Garage enough ! and will never go anywhere else - thank god I found you x

Anyone who owns a car has a garage that they trust to fix their cars for the most reasonable price possible. I have found mine in My Purple Garage. I have been a customer for about 10 years and have never had the feeling of being ripped off. On the contrary, I always feel safe taking my car to them because I know that a solution(the best possible one) will be found. Thank you for all the advice you have provided me in the past to help me save money.

Experience car mechanic Mot done I’m satisfied definitely recommend👍

Thank you for sorting out our electrical issue at such short notice. Rapid, efficient, and fixed the problem immediately.

We used Pilgrim Electrical for some work as part of a kitchen installation. We were really pleased with both the workmanship and the service.

Great honest, professional, tidy service

Excellent company for Industrial installations, Upgrades or just infrastructure changes. Knowledgeable and willing to help.

I enjoyed my visit to hays

Great agency, friendly and helpful

Great team, helpful and kept me in work.

get plenty of work with these guys

Nice reliable people

As I first time buyer I was in unknown position but everyone in Connells Shirley Southampton were fantastic during the process of buying, very supportive and acting in a very professional manner! For any information requested even it was down to solicitor or financial advisor to give it, I was more than welcome to discuss with the Estate Agency! Big thank you to Claire Bushell, a real professional!

I very recently let my property via Connells Shirley Branch in Southampton. My contact was Bethany Hudson, the letting manager and I can't thank her enough for everything she has done for me with regards to my letting. Very professional and great service. I would certainly recommend Connells lettings to friends and family!

Thank you for the fantastic service we received from the team. Kept us informed through the whole process! Very professional and we will be recommending you to our family and friends.

The lettings team were amayzing and very professional, she kept up informed through the whole process. Thank you Maria and the other girls, helped me a lot and we will be recommending you to our family and friends.

Recently taken over by a owner I have dealt with previously in the Woolston area. More great service, this time with a new purchase. Got me in contact with some great conveyancing and surveying companies which has really helped the process go smoothly.

Great people to deal with, the staff were friendly and knowlegable. I now have a place to live that suits my needs and is the right price. I have already recommended you to my friends. :)

Great service provided from this company. Ben helped us remortgage our house, found us a good deal and then arranged all stages of the process for us ensuring a smooth and stressless experience. I have remortgaged quite a few times with various financial advisers, but this has by far been the simplest and most straightforward service yet. I particularly like the online tools that Ben sent me links to which made sharing information and documents really easy. Communication was excellent with quick replies and action taken. I would definitely recommend Choice Financial Solutions and will myself be using them again. Thanks for all your help!

Absolutely amazing. Even intervened when the solicitor and lender could not agree with each other and sorted everything out for me on the day. Could not ask for better or more personal service. Will absolutely use again and again. Dan (Salisbury)

I've used Asset Management for about 10 years. I've always found them very professional and I would have no hesitation recommending them to anyone requiring a mortgage or any other financial services.

P and P Invest are my Financial Advisor in Southampton. They helped me re-organise my pension portfolio to ensure that I will be able to retire and continue living to the same standards that I do today. I would highly recommend speaking with Philip Pearson, who is a Chartered Financial Planner, for professional, expert guidance on your pension fund.

At such a difficult time Hayley and team were brilliant. Could not fault the services we received start to finish, they were very respectful and Hayley kept in contact every step of the way even suggesting personal touches to add we didn't think of. It was a weight of our minds knowing our dad was in the best possible hands and treated with respect and dignity. Huge thanks to all and would highly recommend 😊

I would like to say a huge thank you to Simon and Craig waters for a fantastic and highly professional job they had done for my granddad. I would highly recommend them as they are very professional in there job. Nothing was too much to ask for and everything felt like it was being handled by professional people. The value for service was next to none and we felt that my granddad was in safe hands. Thank You Simon & Craig Waters

You never wish to be in need of services of this sort and for our family it was the first time, We had no idea of how to organise or what was required from us (sadly for us our father didn't leave any plans for his funeral ) When we started searching for a funeral directors we found the opposition didn't come close they seemed to only wanted to take deposits and give quotes after a two minute chat over the phone. Tracey and Simon at the aldermoor branch took us in spent all in all hours with us helping and guiding us through everything step by step from organising to planning nothing was too much to ask where ever possible they dealt with matters that didn't need our input (some of which a very traumatic things you can do without at such a sad and difficult time) there was never any pressure applied from time scale or finacial perspective. I can't speak highly enough of Simon and Tracey's help in dealing with our needs, and the service they provided was faultless.

Fortunately my father had a Dignity Funeral Plan with Beestons and at such a distressing time it was wonderful to have someone to take the weight off my shoulders throughout. All aspects of the funeral were treated with great sensitivity and respect. I thank Megan and all the staff associated with Beestons, for their gentle, considerate approach, which helped to make such an unhappy time more than bearable. Thank you.

Had large patio installed, excellent finish, nice friendly chaps, very tidy, quote was exact as given. no complaints from neighbours of noise. Highly recommend.

Alway been very happy with they way my hair is done.very friendly staff. had my wedding hair and brides maids hair done which looked lovely.

Fantastic service, never had a bad cut. Nadia is lovely & instinctively knows what you want even if you aren't sure yourself! Very quick too. I'd give a million stars if I could

Fantastic barbers with excellent staff. Adam and Lisa are both very welcoming. Great price for a haircut..

I've been going here for years, happily let any of the staff cut my hair they all know what they're doing and is a nice calm atmosphere.

Feeling pampered!

Went into ManCave today around 12 just walked in without booking for both my sons. Normally get their haircut closer to home but I must say the guy who cut their hair today was excellent! The best haircut they have had in a very long time really impressed and so were they for once!! They said he was really precise and was really friendly and they want to come back here again. Would recommend without hesitation!

Brilliant cut everytime I've been. All of the guys are outstanding so doesn't matter who you choose when booking online!

I visited the men-u Salon with my two young sons who wanted a stylish cut. Kyle was brilliant with the 8 year old and achieved exactly the style he wanted. Very patient and engaging throughout. Riley managed to achieve a combination of what my 6 year old wanted along with what I was happy with too! Both sons very much enjoyed the experience as well as the final results.

I always wanted to find a hair salon where people could come up with styling or cut ideas that would suit me better, but this never happened..until a few months ago when I discovered Men-U Salon and I’ve met Andreea! Her professionalism, devotion, creativity and the bunch of ideas that she came up with regarding my hair style and cut made me become a loyal client of the salon and I would never change it again! Also the ambient is really warm and everyone there makes you feel very welcomed!!

Jason and the team are super positive about increasing all aspect of the business and becoming the number one salon in Southampton. I have no doubts that they will be able to achieve this very quickly!

Best hairdressers I've ever been to (and I've been to a lot!) wouldn't go anywhere else.

Excellent highlights and cut. This was my second visit and I have booked again. I love my hair and learned some Polish as well.

Had my hair restyled today by Anna. Love it. Up to the minute style by a lovely lady. Wash, restyle, blow dry and finish all for the super dupper price of £18. Fantastic. Already booked in again! Many thanks. Sally

England place. Prompt service. Very quick

Zena is great hair dresser and lovely lady

Not amused. In this day and age , we're used to making allowances for those less fortunate than us. In this instance, it was the pathetic , whiplashed guy, who was (not so bravely manning the desk.). Would tell you his name, only he refused to give it. Odd? I thought so. When you enter a place, it's true that first impressions count. So, 3 out of ten for the rude and angry receptionist here. Would sooner pay a bit more but be treated like a human being. Won't ever use this place again!!

Staff are always so helpful and friendly. Great value for money. I will be back soon! :)

AE Insurance are a great company to work with. Very friendly and knowledgeable.

Fast friendly knowledgeable helpful staff. Have dealt with a plan for years and no intention of looking elsewhere. Keep up the very good work

Great to be able to walk in and talk to someone. Not always the cheapest.

This is a great company I always use them wouldn't use anyone else

My cocker spaniel, Ellie, always has a great time at doggie day care with Deborah and all her new dog friends at Forest Pet Services. Deborah is great, really helpful and has a fantastic online booking system. I would definitely recommend Forest Pet Services. I always enjoy reading Ellie's day care diary finding out the amazing day she's had while I've been at work.

Excellent service. Will use again.

Love the library, take my son here to read to him and he loves it

sometimes is busy and we cannot have acess to the computer but overall a nice library.

The staff who used to work there were absolutely fantastic and I would go there quite frequently. But now that has changed. The staff do there job but they don't seem to care to much and has driven me to avoid going there. Ok if you are just there to get a book but not anything else.

I find myself using the library quite regularly now. It's a fantastic community asset and the staff a really friendly. I'd definitely recommend making use of Burgess road library part of your weekly routine!

Really nice and friendly and good with the noisy kids too. Always some colouring activities out in the kids section. Quite often a storytelling time going on as well to keep the kids entertained.

Really nice and friendly place

As a tradesman with many years’ experience, I can thoroughly recommend Mr Stevens. I have used his services on many occasions and will continue to do so in the future. He is reliable and his work is finished to the high standards that would be expected from a professional.

Had him and his team to do my hall, stairs and landing, done a lovely job. Very professional and clean painters. Would deffinetly recommend.

Really enjoyed our experience here, have not had a professional photography session before but very relaxed atmosphere. Best to take some props, the more you put into it the more you get out of it. We chose a large clear view frame with various shots and the results are stunning!! Highly recommended, thanks to all involved at Venture.

Venture is always a favourite. Fantastic results every time. Studio floor was a bit greasy and slippery, but it was still fun. Prices are still a but steep but they are quality photos. None the less, I would highly recommend them.

We are so happy with our wedding photos from The Photo Rooms. A great mix of modern and traditional photos taken by a professional, caring family run business who listen to exactly what you want.

Fantastic experience and great photos - Thank you! I booked a photo shoot at the Photo Rooms Southampton for myself in order to have some photos taken to give to my wife as a surprise present. Before the shoot the communication was quick and efficient and when I arrived I met Tracey who was very friendly and offered me a drink. I hate being in front of the camera but the warm welcome started to make me relax and after a few minutes I was introduced to Nadja who would be my photographer. We went upstairs to the studio and we talked through what I wanted to get out of the shoot and discussed the clothes I had brought with me. She was also very friendly and professional, despite normally hating being photographed I even started to enjoy the experience. Once the shoot was over I booked the viewing in for a few days later. Tracey met us as we arrived and again was very professional and friendly. After the viewing my wife liked the photos so much that we brought them all - I can’t say more then that! In sum, this is a really great place with a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere staffed by genuinely nice people who want to do the best they can for you. I would 100% recommend the Photo Rooms to anyone!

I highly recommend John. He photographed our Wedding last August and did an excellent job, he likes to go the extra mile and generally gives you more than you expected (ours also included a engagement photo shoot). On our Wedding he even managed to bring an extra photograper along at no extra cost. He is very friendly and great at directing the kids and older members of your family, He creates nice bright clear photos and sends them to you quickly (we had ours after one month). he also sent us a few teaser photos with the first two weeks and a really nice slideshow. Great work John!

We recently had the absolute pleasure of working with John as he photographed our wedding in November 2017. I (the groom) was in charge of finding a photographer, and with our budget being fairly modest I was nervous about finding the right person to capture our special day. I am so pleased we chose John! He was friendly, professional, accommodating and it goes without saying: very talented. After chatting on the phone about our requirements, we met in September for a pre-wedding photoshoot. This really broke the ice and helped us to know what to expect on the day. We also got some lovely photos out of it to use on our social media accounts etc. He also met with us a couple of weeks before the wedding to chat in more detail about particular moments that we wanted to capture, and some logistical challenges that we'd need to overcome. On the big day he was perfect. Helping to coordinate and arrange people as needed, but fading into the background and becoming "invisible" when appropriate. We're absolutely thrilled with the final photos. He managed to capture some really special emotional moments, along with a great big dollop of our personality. We even had our portrait photos taken at the local Santa's grotto! Weird and wonderful yes, but very "us". I couldn't recommend John more highly!

great service, boiler installation fitted with all the guarantee's and gas safe certificate. very neat plumbers

The whole team at JPS have provide our lettings business with a first class service over the last 3 years or so, highly recommended

What a great service very happy customer the job in hand and the response time was superb will use again

I would highly recommend LK Plumbing Services. Lee did a fantastic job plumbing in my new dishwasher, very honest, reliable and value for money.

Printed business cards for our society, great work!

We've used Indigo Press for a variety of printing - calendars, business cards, books etc. Always got a professional service, quick turnaround and keen prices

really great print and bind, they were able to deliver my demanding requirements in such a short time

Easy parking with a quick scanning & printing service.

Really helpful staff and my outcome was amazing quality! And even though there was an error once the final product was printed, Greg offered to redo the entire order for me. Very happy I used this company

I am an Architectural Technician with my own business and I regularly use this printing shop to print out my drawings. The prints are always of a high standard, the staff are friendly and incredibly accommodating when I need last minute prints to meet deadlines, the prices are reasonable. I would not hesitate to recommend.

My car broke down on site, today 30.06.2018. Lots of "first aid" from the on-site team didn't solve the problem. Staff enabled call to AA, and to disabled wife at home. Friendly staff looked after this old man, with coffee, newspaper, coffee, fan - welcome on a hot day , and phone calls. They welcomed the AA man, and looked after him too. Success all round. Very many thanks to everyone.

I always find them very helpful especially when getting rid of large objects.

Really friendly people are the depot always helping especially when I have rather large heavy items they help me and take it from the car which helps me out a lot !

We take our car here for Its MOT. Never had a problem, in fact after taking our car to a main dealer for a previous MOT and being given numerous advisories from the main dealer took it to the depot for its next MOT and had no advisories even after having no work on the car! Always Very friendly staff there puts your mind at ease! Also have used the recycling centre and again never had a problem and the staff there usually lend us a hand with the stuff we've brought

I'm not gonna lie its a small place but you can get pretty much wot ever you need at a very cheap price

Really helpful! Was really quick the romoval company! The best one in Southampton so far... Really fast approach! Totally recommend it!

Called up in a hurry today. The man on the phone was very patient and arrange the transport with me asap. Would reccommend to others. Service is quick, efficient, good value. Will use them in the future.

We were moved by P J Removals last week and were amazed at their efficiency - a 3 bed house emptied and packed into their vans in under 4 hours. At all times they were careful and considerate, and a made the whole process a breeze - cannot recommend these guys highly enough.

Experienced and friendly staff providing excellent service at a competitive price. Have used their services twice so far. Highly recommend.

We would like to thank Making Moves Removals for their excellent service. The whole team really did go above and beyond in making sure our move went as stress free as possible. Nicky, our move manager was always available on the other end of the phone whenever we had a query and would put our mind at ease. We were sent a team of very professional and experienced porters who handled our possessions with every inch of care and consideration. Excellent service from an excellent team. We would defiantly recommend Making Moves Removals, they really did make our move easy.

Ordered from here last night to try a new local Indian after moving house. Fully expected to be disappointed due to the name and the exterior of the place. Ordered a meat dhansak (lamb and beef I think), vegetable dhansak, 3 chipatis, 1 Puri, 2 * onion bhajis, a lamb samosa and mango chutney. The whole meal came to just over 15 and was easily enough to feed myself and Mrs for 2 meals. Rice also came free with a curry. Bhajis and samosa were light and delicious and the dhansak was on point. Would recommend, and will definitely be ordering from Emon again.

Simply the best Indian place to go in Southampton. Have been getting food from here for years, just as others have said. Great service and delivery, couldn't recommend higher.

If you want some nice sweet and sour chicken balls, this is the right place for you (if you're around the Portwoods area). Chip portions are reasonable too. What makes this place good are the curries. Very tasty!

Nice taste good service and decent price. The only thing was lacking that the variety in the vegetables in the vegetable curry. It could be way better ....

Absolutely brilliant service. Delicious food. Highly recommended..

Wow. Looking for a 5 point lock for a patio door. It was in stock here. Really really helpful and a good price. I recon about £300 cheaper than a locksmith would have been. Thank you

Always happy to help

Went here to get a new 5 point lock for my patio door. It was in stock and the service was prompt, friendly and fast. Absolutely great!

Excellent product knowledge and fitting in well with requirements .. delivered when stated ready for fitting by carpenter....great to have pressure taken off me to find and locate right locks etc...could not be bettered..

Great friends staff. Brilliant service

Best firm of Solicitors in the South!

I must say that Mr. Rajinder Rathore and Mr. Dalvinder Pardesi of Linder Myers Solicitors is not only amazing individuals, but able to accomplish feats within the Home Office that are amazing. I first met Mr. Rathore and he was polite and a gentleman and handled our personal case with the utmost care. He was even able to react to deadlines with immediate effect. He took the emotions out of the process and allowed myself and my family to think clearly at every step of the way. He even guided us on the complex nature of our case and always made sure that all of our documentation was accurate and submitted correctly. Every time I would call the office, he would always find the time to speak to me, or at the least call me back in a reasonable amount of time. If you know immigration matters then you also know that your immigration adviser also becomes your counselor for all of the stress involved. If anyone has an immigration matter that they need resolved and wants a successful resolution. Mr. Rathore is the man to do it. Highly Highly Highly recommend. I also had the pleasure to further meet Mr. Dalvinder Pardesi. He is not only knowledgeable within immigration but a credible and understanding individual with all things involving the law. He is able to respond to every scenario you can provide and provide you with every outcome that could be possible. I would equally highly recommend Mr. Pardesi for all your matters regarding the law. I can't thank them both enough.

"I was privileged to be represented by Mr Rajinder Rathore of Bernard Chill & Axtell last year when the UKBA said I was not allowed to be in the country. He handled my case with delicacy, confidentiality and professionalism. He was supportive at every step of the way and beyond. I would highly recommend him and his firm."

Staff there are always very welcoming and supportive.

Used Southampton taxis twice in a day. Planned trip from Port to West Quay and from West Quay to Heathrow Airport. Excellent communication, driver arrived prior to time scheduled, no extra charges. Reasonable charges and very friendly drivers. Highly recommended.

Southampton Taxis was very professional and extremely helpful. The driver went out of his way to accommodate us and provided a lot of useful information. We would highly recommend them.

Great service at Southampton hospital. Drivers have ID and very helpful with elderly patient today. Driver helped me with bags, wheelchair and my mum getting her in and out of the cab.

I use door 2 door daily and I've never had a bad experience, the staff are lovely on the phone, and the drivers are just as lovely would definitely recommend .

Absolutely awesome service and company with great drivers, miles better and cheaper than all the companies I've used over the years. Recommend to anyone wanting a top service to use cab my ride, well done.

Great service and a life saver at 3 in the morning, Harjit was a great guy to chat with and will be defiantly use them again.

Great staff holiday all booked , great price

Excellent service,knowledgeable staff

This is my favourite place to spend my money . Great team , always helpful and top knowledge.

I booked an amazing 8 month trip around the world. Everyone in store was really welcoming and super helpful and they gave me loads of insider tips. They were all fabulous when I had to change my flights and come home early. Very smooth from start to finish!

Very good advice, polite and pricing was reasonable

Excellent little shop, and good prices too. Seems to have been run by the same guy for at least 15 years.

Top notch sound specialists, friendly staff who really know their trade. I bought a set of Cambridge Audio SX60 stereo speakers, had the chance to do a full demo in store, great for the price. Also bought an Audio Technica AT-LP5 turntable, which wasn't up to scratch for my needs, which I was able to refund hassle free a few days later after leaving a less than positive review on their website and being contacted directly by their customer services to discuss my options, how's that for going above and beyond? I'd go back in future for sure, planning to actually. Can't say enough nice things about the place!

You guys are awesome. My boyfriend is really pleased you took the time to help him set up his amp. Friendly and reliable service from you guys! Top notch! Definitely would recommend to friends and anybody else 😊

Stewart is a friendly, professional man who fixed my TV aerial and added an extension to another room. The final price was exactly as estimated and he arrived on time as arranged.

all staff so helpful. the vets are so lovely to our pets. recommend them any time.

Have used Christopher Carter's vets for many years for good reason. Chris is a true stockman, who really cares about his clients and says it as it is. Thank you for looking after my dogs so well can't tell you how much it means to me xxx

We received a warm welcome when we recently visited Park Surgery. Our cat is a bit of a handful when attending the vets but here they were patient and gentle with her. Very happy with the care we received and would recommend them. Surprised to see a negative review re. this practice because our own experience was very positive.

Never had a bad experience here. The staff are always lovely and my dog Penny absolutely loves coming here. When she got hit by a push bike I was so distraught. The staff were so caring and professional about the whole thing. They went above and beyond to ensure that Penny and I were both okay. Cannot express just how much I love this place!

I have been with this practice for over ten years. They are always so professional and approachable. They say a man’s best friend is his dog. Well I have left my best friend with them for major surgery and day to day problems without hesitation and will continue to do so. I have every confidence in the practice.

Have been accessing this branch for many years and they have ALWAYS been very helpful and understanding. As I'm now retired I no longer subscribe to the monthly Pets Club but still find the practise value for money

I have had Darren on a number of cleaning projects over the last couple of years and found him Very professional and reliable..... A+++

We have been using Clean Contractors Ltd for many years and find them to be reliable, friendly and very helpful. Nothing is too much trouble and they always let us know well in advance when they will be cleaning our office windows. Their service is outstanding and we would be happy to recommend them for commercial and residential clients. HWB Chartered Accountants

We use Clean Contractors at our salon. They are very reliable and always polite and smart.

One of the hardest working cleaning companies I've ever met. ServiceMaster pride themselves in offering the best customer service and have sophisticated cleaning systems and processes in place. The brand was built on being of great service to others. Definitely a company i'd recommend.
