A TRADESMAN from Swindon is in the running to win £2,500 and the MyBuilder ‘Job of the Year’ award - after a local resident nominated him for the amazing job he did in his home.

MyBuilder.com, an online marketplace for homeowners to find quality tradesmen, launched its ‘Job of the Year’ competition which aims to find the top tradesman who went above and beyond to do a brilliant job against the odds.

Over 1,600 homeowners from all over the UK have already entered, nominating great MyBuilder tradesmen they’ve used in the past year and telling the stories of how they saved the day in their homes. If their tradesman wins, tradesman and homeowner win £2,500 each.

Members of the public have already cast over 20,000 votes - and one story that has caught people’s attention comes from Swindon resident Chris Rogers.

Chris. who nominated David Wenborn, of PINTURA Decorating, said: “Dave is the best, kindest and most generous tradesman I have ever had the privilege to encounter.

“The first job for me was to paint a recently re-plastered dining room including ceiling. Not only was the finish perfect, he even cut and fitted the skirting board that I intended to do at a later date.

“I have had Dave back for more jobs and for one of them he even turned up at 6.30 on a Sunday morning so that I could surprise my wife following her visit to her parents. Again, no extra charge.

“Following a recent burst pipe, Dave brought me over and has lent me his commercial heater, again, no charge.”
