The guys have done a fantastic job. Mark & Chris are a pleasure to have in the house and the quality of their work is impressive. They work quickly and with good humour. Nothing is too much trouble. They were reliable, trustworthy, tidy and highly professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gary's team to anyone. A 5* review from me!

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 8 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.
