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.

Outstanding from start to finish. From the first email to the guys, they were attentive, responsive, informative and very much genuinely interested in delivering the very best. A couple of alterations were made by us during the quote stage and these were easily and willingly factored in. They worked happily with us to find a suitable time to carry out the work and maintained communication throughout. A lucky break in a period of awful weather allowed the 3-man team to replace 7 windows, a set of patio doors and our front door. Excellent, competitive price and a quality end product. Exceptional
Excellent from start to finish - stress free process from first contact through to installation of our new front door. Efficient, polite, clean, local and quality. Everything went so smoothly. I would highly recommend them.
