Reece was very helpful, guiding me through the regulations the job needed to meet in replacing the window units/adding window restrictors, and then in sourcing the best price. He completed the work in a very efficient time and fitted in with the times when I could be around.

Johnny was fantastic from the moment he came round. As soon as he looked at the job I knew he was going to do it well. He fitted the worktop really efficiently, he was tidy and worked hard. He also did additional plumbing that was required and even helped me fix my oven! I would not hesitate to recommend him.
