Highlights
“Julian & Mike were punctual, polite, professional very tidy. This was valuable to me as a senior aged lady with health conditions I felt safe. And he even left a hose on the outside tap they installed!”
“1st Choice are always our 1st choice for all our building and maintenance work. Julian and Mikey are always prompt, professional, friendly, and hard working. Not only are they extremely good at their job, but they are also always willing to discuss design, suggesting improvements – which we often appreciate and agree to. I have no problem recommending 1st Choice for any building and decorating jobs you may have.”
“Upon first meeting Julian you could tell he was very knowledgeable and experienced. He knew exactly what the problem was and what needed to be done with replacing/adding a lintel above one of our windows. Julian and Mikey were prompt to get to work and managed to squeeze us in within a week as we needed the work done before we could move in. I was impressed at how tidy they were especially considering the state our house was in when we bought it. He quoted a fair price for the work and stuck to the price agreed. We decided to call him back to remove an old chimney breast and internal wall.”
