Posted 06 March
Job location: BH7Paul attended our property to help with a garage door that had failed in the locked position. He was able to gain access and carry out an initial repair so the garage could be used and secured again. He later returned to replace the damaged cable and complete the repair properly. Communication was good throughout and he was flexible with arranging a return visit. Everything is now working well and the job was resolved for a fair agreed price. I appreciate Paul coming back to finish the work and getting the garage door fully sorted.
