Report
Recently I had a job done by Harringtons for the removal of over 80 metres of old fencing, many tree stumps and steel / timber posts set in concrete in Clontarf. This was then all loaded into 3 skips totalling over 42 cubic metres. The area at the rear of the property was difficult to access, due to both a limited area to work in and narrow access. This was no problem at all for Peter, Luke and Scott. They were very Professional from the time of original inspection of the site, through to completion of work, and thorough clean up of the property.
