Highlights
"This company did an outstanding job replacing my fence. They were professional, reliable and clearly took pride in their work. The quality of the craftsmanship is excellent. The fence is sturdy, perfectly aligned, and looks fantastic. Great communication throughout and delivered as promised. Very impressed and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy tradesperson."
"An immediate response to my query followed by an early visit to inspect the job. A highly competitive quote was accepted and the job completed on the agreed date. First class workmanship meant that I was very pleased with result. Highly recommended."
"Found Shane on Checkatrade with lots of positive reviews, so gave him a go. Shane took a cherry tree down and logged it for us, then removed the old fencing before putting up the horizontal Venetian style all around. The garden feels so much bigger. From first contact to the end Shane’s communication was first class and the jobs exactly what we wanted. Shane even came back an extra couple of hours to put some finishing touches above and beyond."
