They did a great job at taking my garden waste, although the original quote was lower than the quote they gave me after inspecting the task, they quoted before the job but failed to inform it didn't include VAT, which knocked the quoted price up by 20%. Would've been 5 stars if they were clearer with the price. However I cannot fault the work, and it needed to be done.

Ian came round to take a look at a damp patch that had started showing up on one of the utility room walls. He turned up on time, was really friendly, and clearly knew what he was talking about. He gave everything a proper check over and explained what was likely going on in a way that actually made sense. He didn’t try to make a mountain out of a molehill or push for any unnecessary work—just gave honest, practical advice on what to do next. Really appreciated how straightforward and helpful he was.
