The guy's even came out late in the evening to cover the work as they thought it might rain. It's rare to find people who care. Thanks Joe & Gary.

Absolute nightmare from start to not finishing. Paid cash in advance and 8 months later the extension is an unfinished shell with brickwork not finished. Garden is a builders tip. Having to pay someone else to sort out this mans mess. Now having to take legal action. Avoid.
