Stone work & masonry job in EH10

I knew I would probably accept the quote after I met Bryan who seemed knowlegeable and friendly and am very pleased that I did. Chris, who did most of the work was brilliant. They cleared up after the job was finished and put the garden back as it was. Overall a brilliant job well done and I am really pleased with the result.
