    Posted 09 December

    Really pleased with what was carried out. After submitting a job Simon contacted me the next day and talked me through a repair based on pictures. Turned up on time and really communicative. Did a quick, neat, tidy repair and explained things well throughout, for a good price. Would definitely use again and recommend to others.
