Great communication and advice before works. Skilful works carried out swiftly. James was lovely and fitted around our working life and dogs. Jill is great at communication. Fence and gate is better than expected, it’s lovely arriving home and seeing our bespoke fence panels. No more rattling!

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

James had a very difficult project at my property, however it handled it extremely well and professionally. A extremely hard worker who knows his job inside and out, if you need any fencing work done I would give him a call.
Excellent service and finish of job requested
