They came back quickly and gave a clear, itemised quote for the aerial, the TV wall-mount and the extra bedroom point, and clearly knew their stuff when I asked about the loft cable run and signal. In the end I decided to hold off on the work for now and have closed the job, so I did not go ahead. No complaints at all about how they dealt with me, and the price seemed fair.

Thanks Marcus, and no problem at all - I completely understand wanting to hold off for now. It was good to talk through the aerial, the TV wall-mount and the loft cable run with you. The quote stands whenever you'd like to revisit it, with no pressure either way - just give me a shout if the time comes. All the best, Gary.

Fitted Kitchens

They fitted all twelve units well and everything is level and solid, and the sink was plumbed in without any fuss. Two things stopped it being top marks: one of the worktop joins was left a bit rough and could have been finished more neatly, and they turned up a day later than we had agreed, which pushed things back. Overall a decent job and fair value, just not quite flawless.
Whitmore Groundworks & Interiors replied
Thanks for the fair and honest review, Marcus. You're right on both counts - that one worktop join should have been finished more neatly, and turning up a day late was on us and pushed your schedule back. I'd genuinely be happy to come back and tidy that join whenever suits you, just say the word. We've also tightened up how we plan our days so a late start won't happen again. Glad the units and sink are all solid, and thanks for having us in. Gary.

Brick / Block Paving

Dug out the old cracked concrete drive and relaid roughly 40 square metres in neat block paving, with a proper sub-base and drainage that copes well with the rain. The finish and levels are excellent, they cleared up thoroughly each day and took all the old slab away, and the final price came in exactly as quoted. I would happily have them back.

Thanks so much, Marcus - it was a real pleasure to work on your drive. Really glad the sub-base and drainage are coping well with the rain and that the finish and levels came out as they should, and that the final price landed exactly as quoted. We'd be more than happy to come back any time. All the best, Gary.
