Dealt with Peter, really good communication throughout, nothing was a bother. Came and quoted the same day as contacting me. collected worktops and templated, returned and installed a couple of days later. Installation appeared trouble free and the end result was amazing! looks like a single piece of worktop even though it had to be joined. Would definitely use again and will certainly recomend to others.

Ian fitted our kitchen and I would happily have him back to do other jobs that we have planned around the house. Ian has done an accurate and quality job for a very reasonable price compared to other quotes we received. He also has helped us save money and got in touch with suppliers who could provide us quality products at a cheaper price to what we paid. Overall I'm delighted with my kitchen and if I get a chance I will be using Ian again.

Was enough as was the amount based on YOUR measurements. Regardless of the mess of the central squares you had more than enough Lino to leave a good finish under the freezer,oven,washing machine instead of the disaster that's left. There absolutely no excuse for the work you have done here, as a PROSFESSONAL you should measure before cutting and then realising you couldn't make it work, you should have more pride in your work than to leave a woman and her child with a kitchen floor that is a compete mess
