Andrew and the team are excellent. Fantastic problem solving, high quality of workmanship and a practical approach. We had a two stage renovation in an older house and the usual problems were encountered. Andrew's deep expertise meant that these were navigated with ease and the result is fantastic. Highly recommend.
