Report
Poor....So, I decided to support a local business and get some expensive iron work done. After an initial exchange of an email I heard nothing more! They stated they would get back to me whilst considering how they were going to do my project. I heard nothing more....So, I wasted a lot of time on trying to be nice and supporting a local business. I now have a great company in Belfast doing the job...
