Highlights

"prompt and efficient and understood issues and undertook work professionally"

Craig SCheckatrade5.0 rating

"serj and his colleague were fantastic, they got here when the said they would, they worked very hard for two days solid and the quality of their workmanship is fantastic, even helping overcome a couple of issues with our less than square house! I'll definitely use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone"

David PCheckatrade5.0 rating

"Serg and colleague visited my elderly Mother’s house twice to quote and sort out two external doors which were jamming. This involved planing down and completely rehanging. They were very prompt to quote, and to do the work. This was much appreciated because I live many miles away from my Mother and she needed to be able to use the doors. She is quite a determined woman to deal with and they were considerate. I felt the price was reasonable and the job was carried out quickly and well. I would not hesitate to use them again. Many thanks (and apologies for the delay in sending feedback.)"
