    Damp Investigation

    Posted 6 days ago

    Great job, which exceeded expectations with no hidden extras

    Excellent service and conscientious workers, both on site and at head office. We were kept fully informed every step of the way, the work exceeded our expectations. Jack and Josh turned up when they said they would, talked through the work at every stage and were friendly/helpful. The room was left very tidy and clean and all rubbish was collected in a timely fashion and cleared totally. The contact with head office was also really easy, always someone on the end of the line and Laura and Kate were very helpful and friendly. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company and use again
