Very professional first visit. Very informative and gave options & samples. Arrived on time each day, did a great job and helped with another little job not relating to the roof... very polite and tidy too. Would definitely reccommend.
Excellent, job was done well without too much distraction as I work from home, job came in under quote - 11/10
...He talked us through exactly what he would do, including the measures he would take to protect the plants, and clear up the inevitable mess. His quote was very competitive, but his manner convinced us as much as anything that we should place the job with him. He set a date, and exactly stuck to it...
