"...you really helped salvage stage one of our renovation programme as no one was prepared to help us... You were patient, thorough and extremely helpful, we couldn't have moved forward without the skill you instilled into us... Many thanks for an enjoyable day, the plaster all over my feet and the fact that my next door neighbour now asks me for advice!". JT, Vale of Glamorgan
