He is extremely reliable and courteous and I would definitely recommend him to anybody. I am delighted with the finished result and will not hesitate to contact him again in the future. ”

Jean , Paddock Wood

“Mark has recently, completed several outside jobs, to a very high standard, very helpful with advice and if it did not need doing he would tell you. Could not ask for a more reliable tradesperson. He did everything he was asked to do to an excellent standard and with a cheery smile. Would recommend highly.

Dianne Medhurst

“My neighbour recommended Mark from Bramko. He has just cleaned our gutters, carport, drive and patio: the transformation is astonishing with everything looking like new. An efficient, friendly, professional service. Highly recommended.”

Caroline , Tonbridge

“Mark has done a very good job at cleaning the gutters at my house. He has done a thorough end to end job and ensured everything was working fine, even if he found a few non-foreseen issues he still solved them, explained everything throughout and delivered all of that for a reasonable price. I found him a very trustworthy and competent individual and do recommend him.

Luis

“"Mark Killick from Bramko was recommended to me by my sister-in-law and was very thorough and efficient in unblocking our gutters. He showed me how blocked the guttering was on the camera and explained how he was going to remove it all and test. It was all done very professionally and I would thoroughly recommend him."”

John , Offham

“Just to let you know that Mark Killick has done a brilliant clean-up of my blockwork. He’s done an amazing job in refreshing the area and bringing back the property’s kerb appeal.

He was recommended to me by Jackie Roots at Five Oak Green after I saw how lovely her drive looked. I’d also seen his ad in The Oracle and Roundabout. So pleased with the results.

Lesley Mannington

“Mark came and did a great job of cleaning the gutters on our
conservatory and bungalow. It was awkward because one end of the
property is very difficult to access.

He managed to squeeze into the limited space and cleaned out a
surprising amount of rubbish including a flower that was growing in the
gutter.

He also undertook to clean our skylight wiindow which had got very
grubby outside due to dust from some local building works. This entailed
use of his telescopic ladder and protecting our carpet and wall decorations.

Overall I was very satisfied and have no hesitation in recommending his
sevices .

Chris Wickham

“I have just had my gutters cleaned by Mark from Bramko Ltd and I was impressed by the quality and care of his work.
He was punctual, tidy and courteous and I would be happy to recommend him.”

Cornelia Harris

“Mark has yet again performed a miracle on our drive! It looks amazing. He came and did a deep weed clear 3 weeks ago and has now cleaned it and it looks like new.
This is the 3rd time we have had Mark clean our drive and find him very professional and his work very effective and long lasting.
We would not hesitate to recommend him to others for drive /patio cleaning services.”

Gill and Paul Stringer , Crowborough East Sussex

“I saw Mark’s advert in the local oracle and gave him a call , as others hadn’t even bothered returning my calls. Mark came round on the day of the call, had a look at what needed doing and said he could do it the following day. Mark did a great job cleaning out my gutter, and unblocking my downpipe, which was a challenge in itself. He was friendly, arrived promptly at the time agreed, did a thorough job, got drenched in the process and delivered a good service, at a very reasonable price. I would not hesitate in recommending him.”

Chris , Larkfield

“Dear Oracle

Just to let you know that I found Mark Killick from Bramko Ltd in the Oracle when looking for someone to clean the gutters on my house . He carried out a camera survey and then came a few days later to clean and repair the gutters . He did a great job! Super to deal with, upfront about costs and reliable. I highly recommend him.”

Tracey Akerman

“I would like to highly commend Mark Killick of Bramko Ltd, Drive Restoration for the superb job he carried out on my 10 year old drive which has made it look brand new. Marvellous!”

Jacqueline Fahey

“Dear local Oracle

Yesterday Mark from Bramko cleaned the patio and paths around my house. I can thoroughly recommend the work done and his business like attitude to my phone call and the manner in which he dealt with the work.”

Iris Relf , Lunsford Lane, Larkfield

“Hi Anna, would just like to say Mark did some work for us recently cleaning driveway, gutters and conservatory. He was punctual, efficient, hardworking and seemed to really be on top of what we wanted done. I have contacted him since on other work when he has been polite, pleasant and very helpful even though the work was not for him.”

Paul Woodhouse , Chipstead

“We saw Mark Killick’s advertisement in The Oracle recently and contacted him asking him to contact us for a quotation for cleaning our drive and patio. He called on us within a day or so and gave us a very competitive quote which we accepted. He fitted in with our schedule and completed the work at the specified time. He was quick, efficient and we have been very pleased with the results. We needed some extra work carried out on the patio and he gave us a contact to help us resolve a problem. Mark Killick of Bramko noticed that a few weeds had grown where he had pre-treated the drive so he came back and spread another weed killer without being asked and with no charge. Not something you would normally find. I hope this can be added in some way as I believe it deserves recognition.
Very pleasant man who carried out a great job for us and we have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone and will definitely use him again when the need arises.”

Patricia Williams , Paddock Wood

“Mark from Bramko came to clean my patio and decking at the house the other day - he came recommended by a neighbour on the 'Nextdoor' app .... he did a Stirling job and it looks amazing and he was very focused and careful and paid great attention to detail too and it looks like new .... his prices are very reasonable too so all round I recommend him from every single point of view! He's coming back to oil the decking too ... it looks like new.”

Georgina Jarratt Georgina Jarratt

“I needed some work doing on my decking which is about 24 metres long by 2 metres wide. I found Mark’s details in the Oracle and got him to quote to clean the decking which had not been done for perhaps 5 years.

He came yesterday and I have to say he did a fantastic, professional job. The decking looks great !!!!

Now I just need a couple of dry days to oil it!!!

I would definitely recommend Mark to anyone else needing similar work doing.”

Patrick Wigger , East Malling

“Just to give some feedback about Bramko who did some driveway cleaning and repairs for my Mum in Paddock Wood – Mark was excellent, did a very good job indeed. He gave us an itemised quote beforehand, turned up exactly when he said he would and has made the driveway look like new. He was polite, hardworking, reliable, and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.”

Sarah , Paddock Wood

“Mark did a good job for us mending a broken section of guttering and cleaning out all the gutters. He was friendly, arrived promptly at the time agreed, did a thorough job, and offered a good value service. We would be happy to recommend him.”

Liz and Robert Oliver , Tonbridge

“Hello Anna,

I wanted to submit to you a positive set of experiences we have had in the past six weeks with Mark Killick, the driveway and cleaning specialist.

I contacted Mark with respect to cleaning the driveway at the new home my wife and I had just moved into in King's Hill. Mark was on holiday when I first contacted him, but he still called us back immediately and arranged to come and quote us for the work on his return from holiday. When he came to make us a quote, I also discovered he cleaned and could repair damage to external household gutters, jobs which he successfully also did for us subsequently.

Mark returned on two further occasions to clean the driveway, once to apply weedkiller, and a further visit three weeks later to clean and polish the paving stones, and to in-fill the gaps between the paving with sand.

"The drive looks like new" was my wife's reaction when she first returned home after the job was completed.

All the work was done to the original quote. It was actually three jobs well done:

1. The driveway looks like new;
2. Our gutters have been cleaned and the minor leak repaired;
3. Mark recommended someone else to clean our weatherboarding, a job which has also subsequently been done.

Please let me know if you need any further information or details from me about Mark and his work.”

Stuart Parkinson , Kings Hill

“I recently went through the advertisements in my edition of the "oracle" as the grass in my gutters needed clearing out urgently. I contacted Mark Killick of Bramko Ltd. He promptly came out and did a camera survey before arranging later to do the clearing out with the skyvac system. I am pleased to say he did a wonderful job using that system at a reasonable cost. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs this type of work done.”

Margaret Poole , Paddock Wood

“Earlier this week, Mark Killick of Bramko Ltd cleaned my front drive after a cowboy builder had left a trail of cement all over it.
I have to say the restoration has been nothing short of miraculous. My drive looks as new as the day it was laid 14 years ago.
Well done Mark !! A fantastic job, Many thanks

A few days later Mark returned to clean my overfilled gutters of leaves and moss and once again, my sincere thanks for a job cheerfully completed without fuss or mess.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Mark Killick to anyone who needs his services. He is a man who loves his work and makes a first class job of it.”

Colin Edmeads , Crowborough

“Mark from Bramko ltd was very professional , helpful and efficient. I would definitely recommend him as the drive way, although 15 years old looked fantastic and the cost was very reasonable.”

Fiona Reed , Tonbridge

“We are very impressed with the driveway and patio cleaning work carried out by Mark Killick. He was very helpful at all stages, gave a fair quote for the work and subsequently carried out the work in a professional and efficient manner. We are so pleased with the results and would not hesitate to use him again in the future. ”

Martin Hall

“I called out Mark Killick of Bramko Ltd to fix my guttering which was leaking badly.

He came that afternoon and was able to sort the problem very quickly
(the joint had come apart).

I noticed he cleaned drives and patios so he gave me a quote on the spot.
W arranged a date that he could do the job
He worked for two days on the drive and patio and did a marvellous job.
He brought the colour back to the original.
I would recommend Mark as a very proficient, clean and friendly tradesman.”

Robert Godwin

“Hi

Had Mark from Bramko clean my gutters this week, he asked me to leave a review with you.

Very pleased with job he has done, efficient and no mess. Would definitely recommend and use again.”

Liz , Kings Hill

“Mark Killick of Bramko Ltd undertook the cleaning of all the many gutters on our house on 16th January 2018. Not only did he clear completely many years of detritus, leaving the gutters as clean as when new but also made minor repairs to damaged ones. He arrived on time and worked conscientiously, clearing all traces of his presence before leaving.

We could not have been more satisfied and would unreservedly recommend him.”

Sir Jeremy Elwes , Sevenoaks

“I would like to recommend Mark Killick from the above company. He does a superb job, nothing is too much trouble, he's very tidy and worth every penny. ”

R Mich , Tonbridge

Rosie and Terry Searle

“Thank You very much for a good job. No wonder my gutter was overflowing. Thank you ”

Joan Bavin

“I contacted Bramko after seeing the advert in the magazine. I thought I would let you know what a great service I received.

When I phoned Mark we arranged a convenient date for him to come and give me a quote, he arrived on time and we agreed the price before he left.

Today again he turned up time and has done a fab job, the patio looks great and he cleared up all the mess. I arranged a bank transfer for the payment before he left.

All in all a very efficient service at a reasonable price… would certainly recommend this company.”

Amanda

““I have used Bramko for several years now to clean our driveway and patio. We have always been very pleased with the work. Mark is polite, reliable and works hard to achieve a good job. Bramko are highly recommended.””

Keith & Ann Ebbels , Tunbridge Wells

““Well, I read all those glowing reports and thought they could hardly be genuine.....Mark must have written them himself! But now I find myself adding to them, with pleasure, since he undertook a first class job for me today. And, believe me, I’m a right fussy so and so. And a tip for anyone thinking of giving Mark a call......don’t bother to trim up the edge of your lawn alongside the driveway. That all comes as part of his thoughtful and genuine service. Perhaps a little on the pricey side. But remember the old adage.....”you get what you pay for”.”

Terry Brown , Tonbridge

““Mark cleaned my drive and patio - what a fantastic job, I don’t recognise them. I keep going to the window to have a look; what more can I say.””

Kate

“Mark was punctual, friendly and very helpful in assessing our patio and guttering cleaning requirements. Nothing was too much trouble for Mark and the work was conducted to a good standard. It has taken years off of our patio and we are are very pleased with the result. Our guttering blockage was also fixed.”

Mr & Mrs P Jennings

“Bramko cleaned and re-sanded our block paved drive and paths on the 23rd May and we thought you might like a review.

From quotation to completion Mark was friendly, efficient and totally professional. Our tired and dirty paved drive now looks lovely.
We would not hesitate in using him in the future. ”

Tony and Pat Hanson

“I just wanted to say what a brilliant job Mark Killick did cleaning my patio and front steps. They were in a very poor state not having been touched for many years. The job was made more difficult as there is no rear access to my property which meant all the equipment had to been taken through the house and across my carpets!!!! However Mark dealt with this problem with good humoured efficiency leaving absolutely no mess or damage. I could not be more pleased my patio and steps are as new.”

Marion

“I am very happy with the service I have received from Mark at Bramko Ltd. He has restored my block paving driveway to 'as new' appearance. This was achieved efficiently by weed killing, cleaning with a specialist machine and re-sanding. Mark also cleaned my stone patio. He explained the process clearly and what result to expect. Mark's communication, from the initial visit and quote, to after completion of the work, was good. He arrived on time and was friendly and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend him.”

Helen , Waterinbury

“After contacting Mark Killick the owner of Bramko’ a visit was made to site to assess and provide a quotation to clear gutters on the three story apartment block. Mark carried out a detailed camera survey and provided a sensible price for the work. Having agreed the price and a date to commence, Mark arrived on time and carried out a thorough cleaning job with his SkyVac system.
It proved very successful in clearing debris and accumulated moss and leaves. The service was professional and carried out without any inconvenience to the residents of the property. All was left clean and tidy.
Bramko Ltd is highly recommended in all respects and will now be used as needed in the future. A five star performance.”

Bramko Ltd and Mark Killick the Proprietor and Director of this 15 year old company were contacted ( thank you Oracle ) and we were absolutely delighted with the end result . Most professional in setting up the arrangements, in keeping to them when made, in using top-of-the range equipment, and clearing up when the jobs were done.
