Fantastic from start to finish!
Had a custom fence designed, built and installed in a timely manner, mess free with no faults or excuses! Paid a fair price and had a top job, well done to all at this company and be assured I have no problems in writing up a bad review but no need this time!

We ordered some grilles for our French house windows some time ago. Brettell brothers made them to my design. They were quickly produced, galvanized and were very competitively priced. 5 years later, there is no sign of rusting and they still look great.

I bought 5 tin baths from Brettell Brothers unfortunately the delivery driver dropped these outside my house and they are now dented. I am waiting for an official reply. ( Note the driver scribbled 'received in good order on the delivery note' )
