Report
We used Brian Watts to fit a floor in a new commercial kitchen and were amazed at the service we received from the initial phone call enquiry right through to completion of the work. The work was scheduled and completed on time despite us causing problems with a leaky pipe. Thanks to Nigel and the team and would definitely recommend
