We had an area of brick paving done, which had to tie in as neatly as possible with existing paving. The end result was that it is impossible to detect where the old paving stops and the new paving starts. Also we had about 30 metres of brick garden edging done, in free flowing lines rather than in rigid square lines. Both jobs were done exactly as we wanted, on time and with no mess left at the end.

Ceiling fans were installed in 3 rooms. The two guys - Mark and Andy - arrived on time, finished in good time and cleaned up excellently. Overall they did a very professional job.

We had new roller blinds installed in our living areas. We rang for a measure and quote and they responded on the same day. There were 9 blinds, with all except 1 being full-length blinds. 7 were double-width. The installer arrived on the morning arranged and was finished within 2 hours. We were impressed by the friendly and professional attitude of both the quoting person and the installer.

Having our living areas sanded and polished was the last in a long list of renovations we did. We organised the date about 3 months earlier, and they arrived at the time arranged. We moved out for the duration of the job, and when we checked on the job 2 days after completion, we were very pleased with the great job they had done, and were amazed at the lack of dirt or dust in the rest of the house. They had returned 1 day after the job had been completed, to open doors and windows to air the house, so the smell from polyurethane was kept to a minimum.

We needed to have some glass removed from a window in our house and to be replaced with a tougher piece of glass, so that we could have a doggie door inserted in the glass. When we contacted them we agreed on an appointment time to come and measure the job and to give us a quote. They arrived on time and gave us a very good quote. We then made another time for them to come and do the job, and again they arrived at the nominated time and did a great job. They inserted the doggie door for us and cleaned up well after the job. I took the chance to have a chat to one of them about the energy efficiency qualities of various types of glass, and again they were very cooperative. While this was not a huge job for them I would definitely use them again for any later work.
