I have been working with Barratt and Canniford for several years- more recently at a major refurbishment ( 2.2m ) of the Main Street of Somerton. This involved the retention of the facade and demolition of the existing construction behind to form top class retirement apartments and retail outlets at ground level. The works were not without problems but B and C impressed with a can do attitude to overcome the issues and bringing the works to a satisfactory completion to a high standard. My previous experience with B and C involved a multi million pound new build hotel and a major student
