    Hired to fit 2 awnings.

    Posted 15 July

    They were on time and they were only here for 2 and half hours. They have put 2 awnings up for me and they worked very well the whole time, even though it was hot. They cleaned up after themselves and i could not fault the experience. Would very much recommend.

    supply and fit new track and chain

    Posted 06 July

    Brian visited to check out a track failure. He was prompt and knowledgeable. He removed the old track and then source a replacement which he fitted as soon as possible. During this process he kept us informed of the progress all the time. This job was not easy as it was a replacement track in window positioned in a vaulted entrance area. We are extremely pleased with his work, his help and commitment to ensure the job was completed to a high standard. Would definitely recommend and use again
