When Dave visited to assess the job, he quickly realised Susan was elderly and in need of support. Without hesitation, he decided to repair all the damage completely free of charge. What followed was two full days of work, during which Dave restored the damaged room, repaired the fire-affected areas, and repainted everything to its original condition — all without asking for a penny.

Dave said: “I saw Susan’s post on social media asking for quotes after a candle destroyed part of her bedroom and almost burned her house down. After going out to inspect the damage and after meeting her in person, I decided to do the work for free. Obviously as tradespeople we need to earn a living, but sometimes good deeds can go a long way. I’d also like to warn people out there that we must be careful with candles, especially this time of year.”

Susan has since shared her gratitude, leading to an outpouring of praise from locals celebrating Dave’s kindness and craftsmanship. As a gesture of her thanks she gave Dave a heartwarming card and it is a reminder that whereby we often here horror stories about ‘cowboy’ builders ripping people off, there are also many good, decent tradespeople who go the extra mile.
Susan said: “I had a fire in my bedroom and was worried that there was nobody out there to help. I felt down and depressed. But then this amazing man Dave Aslaksen came to my rescue! He repaired the damage and painted new trunking on the wall. I am so grateful for all he has done for me — he is the best! Good luck in all that you do Dave — you should be proud of the help you give to people!”
