Great quality work, floor left dead smooth and ready for laying oak herringbone flooring which required negligible undulation. Very friendly and reliable, and good communication throughout explaining everything.
Posted job, and they were quick to respond and was able to fit my job in at fairly short notice. Met them on Monday morning to run through what was needed and they cracked straight on. By Tuesday midday all was complete and to a very high standard. Would recommend 10/10
