Bryn came round to measure up and talked me through the options really clearly - an independent stud with resilient bars and acoustic board versus a bonded overlay, and how he would treat the floor as well as the party wall. I came away genuinely impressed with how knowledgeable and straight he was, and the quote was well laid out. I have not gone ahead yet purely because I am comparing a couple of quotes first, so this is on the quote rather than the finished work. No complaints at all - he would be a strong contender.

Thanks, Rhys, much appreciated, and no pressure at all while you compare. It was a pleasure to talk it through. The quote stands as laid out: the independent stud with resilient bars and acoustic board versus the bonded overlay, plus treating the floor as well as the party wall. If anything needs clarifying while you weigh things up, just ask, I am happy to help either way. I would be glad to take on the work if you decide to go ahead. Bryn, Maddox Groundworks

Bryn came out promptly the very next day for what was becoming an urgent problem, which I really appreciated. He quickly diagnosed a full and partly blocked tank, emptied it and cleared the blockage on the spot, and took the time to explain how to keep it from happening again. He left everything clean and tidy, and the price was fair for the work involved. Genuinely first class - I would not hesitate to have him back.

Thank you, Rhys, that is really kind. I am glad we could get out the next day and clear it before it turned into a proper mess. As we discussed, keeping to a regular emptying schedule for a tank of that size and use, roughly every 12 to 18 months, will stop it filling and blocking again. Give me a shout when it is next due and I will sort it. Thanks again for having me. Bryn, Maddox Groundworks
