I can not rate this company high enough! After a machine failure on Saturday Laura at Concept replied to my email on a Sunday and had a floor grinder booked for me to collect at 07:00 Monday morning from friendly staff at their Stockenchurch depot. Excellent service and reasonably priced and didn't have to wait weeks for my deposit back, will definitely use again. Thanks again Laura.
