    Great ‘installation’ work, very pleased

    Posted 08 June

    Conrad did a great job, installing two display cabinets, a wall-mounted bookcase and shelf. He was punctual, worked v. quickly and the results are just as hoped. We are pleased he has been able to fit us in to complete a wider range of other jobs later this month.
