Tomkins completed Ella Bache Hamilton at Portsides back of house fitout earlier this year, and we just love it! The attention to detail and workmanship involved made the whole process really simple for us, and got us back to normal trading quickly. Looking forward to having the rest of the salon done with you guys soon. Highly recommend them!

I have worked with Tomkins for several years now, and have always found them to be a very honest and well rounded builder. All their staff are very approachable and easy to get along with. They look after their subcontractors, by continually giving them work, by paying them on time and also fairly. Overall i have always enjoyed working along side Tomkins and will continue to work along side them for years to come.

We have been working with Tomkins for a number of years now carrying out there completion photography on various projects. We have worked with Tomkins staff at all levels from senior management to staff on the ground and have always found them helpful and happy to do whatever is necessary to aid us in completing our work. The company is clear and straightforward when issuing briefs and best of all are excellent at settling invoice on time. We cherish them as an excellent and important client for our business.
