    Beading around UPVC door & window

    Posted 04 February

    My husband was unable to fix the beading around a new UPVC door and window he was installing in the garage. I phoned Les and he came the following day and installed the glass for us. He was extremely helpful and friendly. We would recommend him without any hesitation.
