Just a special thanks to Danny and the team. We were very happy with service and would definitely recommend. Initial quote was prompt and potential variation associated with non-standard blade concrete footings (high risk in our area) was communicated to us prior. Extremely quick to get on top of service abolition and helpful staff when we phoned with a few queries. A delay for work start was communicated well before initial scheduled time and was understandable given atrocious weather days prior not to mention that COVID thing!. Work was done in very timely and professional
