"They gave us full confidence"
“This is our first build so we really had no idea what we were letting ourselves in for. I went and interviewed Les and Tom and I was very impressed! They submitted their quote and followed up with their references, I couldn’t fault their references. It gave me the full confidence that we could work with some builders that were happy to work with their customers.”
