Highlights
"Mr Laker responded swiftly to my request for a quote. Our 25-year-old wooden fencing in a suburban setting was failing and likely to blow down in strong winds. He arranged for delivery of replacement posts, panels, concrete gravel boards and Postcrete to site - very polite and efficient delivery firm. Mr Laker stayed in full communication because of weather-related delays, and constructed the new 12.5 metre fence length as agreed. This matches the previous replacement work he did for us 3 years ago, and is most satisfactory. He is a thorough and skilful fencer, pleasant to do business with."
"The work was completed to a very high standard and on time. I would definitely recommend this company"
"Appreciated the hard work and dedication doing our gate and garden fence! Thank for a great job!"
