Really disappointing. They accepted the job for a monitored alarm on our 3-bed semi, we agreed a survey slot, and then no one turned up and no one called to reschedule. I followed up through the message thread asking about the free survey and a Grade 2 wireless system and heard nothing back for days. I understand people get busy, but leaving a customer sitting in waiting with no word is not on. Cannot comment on the actual work as it never got that far.

Eleanor, I'm sorry - we let you down by missing the survey and not keeping you informed, and that isn't the standard we hold ourselves to. There's no excuse for leaving you waiting without a call. I understand you've moved on, but if you'd ever give us another chance I'd attend personally at a time that suits and confirm everything up front. Either way, please accept my apologies. - Duncan, Weaver Vale

They came out to look at the lawn and did turn up on the arranged day, which I appreciated. The chap was pleasant enough, but the quote was slow to arrive and came in noticeably higher than a couple of others for the same 60m2 of turf, without much explanation of the prep or aftercare I had asked about. No hard feelings, but in the end we did not go ahead. Fine to deal with, just not the value we were hoping for.

Thanks for the fair feedback, Eleanor. You're right that our quote was slower than it should have been, and that it landed higher without a clear breakdown of the prep and aftercare you'd asked about - that's on us. If you ever revisit the lawn, I'd gladly provide a fully itemised quote showing the dig-out, topsoil, levelling and turf separately so the value is plain to see. No hard feelings, and thanks for taking the time. - Duncan, Weaver Vale

Absolutely first-class from start to finish. Duncan surveyed the room carefully, recommended a 4K projector and fixed screen that suit our 4x3m space perfectly, and the 5.1 surround with the in-ceiling rears sounds superb. The AV rack is neatly tucked in the cupboard, every cable run is hidden and labelled, and they put in a dedicated circuit as promised. Turned up exactly when they said, left everything spotless, and talked us through the setup. Could not recommend Weaver Vale highly enough.

Thank you so much, Eleanor - this genuinely made our week. It was a real pleasure fitting your home cinema, and I'm delighted the 4K projector, fixed screen and 5.1 sound are living up to the room. Enjoy every film night, and do shout if you ever fancy adding anything down the line. - Duncan, Weaver Vale
