Report
We purchased a house built by STRATTON'S in East Preston nearly four years ago. It was a new build and we were the first to move in on the site while they were still putting up the others in this small development.. The guys doing the building were first class and so considerate nothing was too much for them. The house itself is the best we have ever purchased new and we wished we could have found the company years ago.
