Report
Having employed a lot of contractors I wouldnt consider employing this company. This isnt based on their workmanship, but on the behaviour of the proprietor in trying to drive into my wife and four year old son for having the cheek to walk in the road whilst returning to our car. Courtesy goes a long way in all walks of life - a lesson Richard needs to learn.
