    Pointing and Waterproofing - Excellent service

    Posted 16 March

    David attended the next day from the first contact to arrange a viewing of the work that needed carried out. He was instantly friendly and professional with a clear knowledge in his field of work. He explained clearly the work that needed doing and expected timeframes. He agreed to send a quote over which came within the timeline stated. David and his team then completed the work with minimal fuss, to a high standard and left the site clean and tidy. The team were all great and I'd not hesitate to use again. David also sorted the scaffolding which was helpful. Thanks again for a great job!

    I’m very pleased with the whole process. David turned up quickly to assess the work needed and took on some extra plastering work of a ceiling I wanted done . I’m very pleased with the work. David and his team were professional, friendly and quick . The result is very good quality work I’m so pleased with the work that I’ve recommended him to family.
