“Excellent work, very happy with result and would use again. They came at same time every morning and finished around the same time, so very reliable. They were friendly and were able to patiently answer any questions I had. I was concerned when they said they couldn't start the job until end of September and then I heard nothing more from them for months - but they did text around end of September and start exactly when they said they would. Excellent end results, worked around problems without complaint, showed deep knowledge of their craft, very competitive price Would highly recommend”
