"Bentley Builders refurbished my Mum's kitchen, as a surprise whilst she was in hospital, which they readily accommodated. This included removing a brick chimney breast and old plaster, before hanging plasterboard, replastering, installing new electrical sockets and finally installing the kitchen units. I found them to be polite, friendly and easy to work with. They did a speedy job and overall an excellent service."
