Don't bother! They will never call you back. Never return your emails. Never be interested in your project. I would say waste your time as well but that would involve them communicating somehow. I really do not know how these people make a living. I was told they were awful customer care but thought I'd give them a go, oh dear.

Called for a quote and an appointment was booked. Lovely chap came to quote for loft conversion and I was happy with the price. Unfortunately after no less than 3 calls to chase the written quote it never materialised. I asked for an email and a written copy. Never saw a thing, gave up calling. Real shame.

Living next door to one of there jobs I allowed them to put the scaffolding on our property (never got a thank u From Steve Wright ) not once came to clear there mess. They spilt cement on our sand stone paving when I complained he said he would call and see us never turned up.once again more cement I had to clear up. Went on holiday more mess only cleared up after I got angry.the job was for 10 weeks scaffolding should have been down in 8 weeks no it was there for 18 weeks again no thank you or apology to us they are the builders from hell. Feel very sorry for my neighbors having a job drag on
