"I'm always worried about having tradesmen doing very large jobs of a high quality but there was no need to worry when accepting the quote from REF. They are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for and I received excellent workmanship and good communication. The bathrooms were done to an extremely high quality."

3 highlightsCustomer voice from the public record
"Right from quotation stage, Richard was friendly, informative and knowledgeable which put us right at ease. We received multiple quotes which were cheaper but we felt Richard was worth the extra money. He helped us with decisions regarding the bathroom and lead us to making the correct decisions for our bathroom whilst ultimately working to our vision. I would also like to mention that Marc, one of the other plumbers on the job, was super friendly and an absolute joy to be around whilst they were doing work. The speed and quality of their work means I would recommend again and again. 10/10"
"From start to finish everything went like clockwork. Richard & his team are professionals & honestly care about the work they do. No snagging required perfect fit. Richard has OCD when it comes to keeping things clean & tidy. Job well done. Thanks. I would definitely recommend REF LTD"
