Jul 17, 2019 Report
I am so happy with the work carried out on our roof. They put up the scaffolding when they said they would, waited 5 weeks for a dry calm day and then came as soon as conditions were favourable as promised. They put 4 men on the big job and so where able to finished in about a week. Perfect timing for my family visiting from abroad. I am so grateful. The boss was really easy to deal with. I strongly recommend. Benside.
