    Levelling of decrepit paved area

    Excellent communication throughout, fantastic and conscientious work finishing with clearing up and leaving site immaculate following an excellent job completed. Cannot recommend Batsons enough, you can contract them with confidence of a job well done

    Shrubs trimmed.

    Posted 14 January

    I found the firm on Checkatrade and after exchanging a few emails someone from the firm called at my home to look at the job and see what I required doing. After receiving a detailed estimate of cost I confirmed a date for the work to be done. The team turned up on time and did the work exactly as I required. They were very professional and efficient and I would thoroughly recommend them.

    The two guys that came were very friendly. They carried out the job quickly and efficiently and cleared up afterwards. One of them kindly left a pile of leaves for my house bunny who loves eucalyptus!

    Absolutely delighted with the whole experience and the highly skilled work undertaken. Batson’s have provided a highly professional and well priced service from first contact through to completion of the job. Great communication throughout and a special thanks to Richard and Scott who carried out the tree pruning and thinning - very courteous, patient and highly skilled at what they do. We have our garden back so many thanks!

    Tree maintenance work for a Parish Council

    Posted 16 July 2024

    As the Parish Clerk I found Batson Ltd to be responsive and friendly, they provided all of the correct paperwork, agreed a working period to suit the Parish Council and other activities in the village, they were easy to work with and I received no complaints about their work.
