Sam and the team were excellent. Always on time and did well to work in with the other trades that were needed for the job. The finishes look fantastic and were really happy with our new bathroom.

What a joke... clearly this business picks and chooses what work they want to do. Asked for a quote to check my gas heater and the flat out response was noone was available. Perhaps if I had said that I need new plumbing work on my house, a plumber would be at the doorstep the following day. I certainly won't be approaching this company again.
