Fortunately I was ghosted by my builder so I had to look else where and found White Knight. A brilliant job done by brilliant people, with special mentions for Alex, Rob and Terry for being a pleasure to have in the house. The work was priced fairly ( they could have gouged the price given the circumstances but they didnt) and they issued a contract that they stuck too. All too rare these days, the quality of the workmanship was high and they cleaned up properly every day they came. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Worked on my neighbours house and left theirs and my paths covered in rubble. Tried to phone them but the office was already closed for Xmas. Disgusting mess. I wouldn't want this firm in my street again let alone working for me. The scaffolding should have been cleaned off by the people using it - was this your first job ever?? The debris is still there in my neighbours path (renters) as when you came back to clean up you did a terrible job of that too.

From start to finish I received excellent professional service from both Gary the Office Manager and Robert Plumber.
