On another property a number of jobs were quickly sorted – contacted Dav on Wednesday, issues were rectified on Friday of the same week. This included some roof repairs which the team proactively actioned, even though it was thought the issue was with a window leaking. Communication was maintained throughout the work, and completed with a competitive price.
Great service, thanks Dav.
The job itself, came in well over 100k due to the enormity of damage from a broken water tank in the loft. The job involved a full strip back of floors, walls and ceilings, new kitchen and bathroom, doors, plastering, painting etc, the full works!! Comparing the house to what it looked like previously to the finish product, what Dav and his team have done is truly fabulous and I can not thank them enough!!
Nothing has been a problem, from dropping and picking up keys and even tidying up the garden for my 78 year old mum – Dav has been so thoughtful and kind. I would highly recommend!!
