Needed to have railings fitted up steps to front of house. The completed job looks amazing, exactly what I was requiring. Cost for all was within my budget, which included initial review, fabrication, fitting, welding, painting & clear up. Very pleased with conclusion.Verified reviewerJob location: PO1110 To refurbish some badly corroded balcony railings.

The response to my request to checkatrade was immediate. Two quotes by return. A visit by the Village Blacksmith and an on the spot discussion and subsequent quote was accepted. The job was done two working days later; extremely neatly, tidily and left operationally in the mid afternoon fully decorated. I am sure our numerously physically challenged visitors will be as grateful as we are for the newly installed hand rail. We thoroughly recommend with out reservation.Verified reviewerJob location: GU2810 Ourdoor handrrail and remodelling of steps
