“We had a plant growing out of a chimney wall that needed removing and the brickwork repointing. Contacted Pat and he provided an estimate based on sending some photos through. We were able to schedule this in soon after, he arrived on time, did a thorough job and even managed to do a couple of quick extra fixes for a gutter at no extra cost. I also appreciated that he provided photos of before/during/after so I could understand exactly what was done. Would happily use their services again and recommend to others.”
