Trimmed and fitted a new front door. Fixed three interior doors.
Richard is very professional. Work was done to a very high standard and completed quickly and efficiently. He not only fitted a very heavy front door but also fitted all the furnishings to it (weather board, letterbox flaps, knocker, numbers, etc). The interior work was carried out in the same professional manner. We would definitely employ him again and recommend him wholeheartedly.
