We work with young vulnerable people so the consideration, respect and understanding shown whilst work was progressing was truly wonderful and we cannot thank them enough.
Would definitely recommend.
They were recommended by a friend for whom they had completed an extension, and I was impressed with the quality of that. Their quote came in as the cheapest of the three companies we spoke to.
