" Excellent Skill "

May I take this opportunity to say what a great bunch of workers I had at my house putting in my multifuel stove. From Dave who reworked my gas pipe and removed the gas fire safely. Nick, who chopped out my fireplace, rendered and plastered it. To Jamie who lined my chimney and fitted my stove. All showed excellent skill and much attention to detail. I was impressed by their attitude to the job in hand. So once again well done.
