Report
Really disappointed at the lack of professionalism with these guys.
Tried to arrange a quote back in December and was told to contact next month, when I did I was told they'd get back to me and now today they are telling me they've got 6 months worth of work. Why not tell me back in December they were too busy, instead I've been led down a garden path for a total of 3 months now. Totally shocking way to treat potential customers who are serious about having the job done.
