Highlights
"Requested a quote from Dean to have a new back gate and frame fitted. The price quoted was so good i was happy to proceed. Dean promptly arrived next morning and installed gate and frame all before lunchtime. All of his work was carried out to a high standard using quality materials and fittings. Dean was careful to clean up after himself and even took old gate and frame for disposal superb. More than happy to recommend Dean use him you will not be disappointed."
"Absolutely thrilled with DPA Fencing and Building! Deans attention to detail was spot on and he delivered perfect results. Clean, tidy, punctual, and a real grafter. The price was very competitive and the work far exceeded our expectations. He managed to conceal the eyesore of next door’s overgrown garden and as an added bonus added a neat little gate for easy gas meter access. Dean went above and beyond and we couldn’t be happier—truly a perfect job. Over the moon!"
"Dean was great, really professional and friendly and just got stuck in to the job and got it done quickly and efficiently. Really happy with our picket fence. Job was done well and it looks great."
