July 2013 News

We are delighted to have received the following feedback from one of our clients in July:-

“From the moment the Groundlevel team of Chris Moore and Matt Wright arrived I was impressed with their attention to detail, ensuring that all carpets in our communal stair were protected. They were very careful in their approach to the works, ensuring that we were kept informed of progress and developments at all times. I was also extremely impressed with the quality of their work.

The team that completed the work in the bathroom, tiling and finishes etc of Rob Haynes and Pete Burton continued to complement our impressions of Groundlevel. Finally on completion of the works, we received very good service from Rob Paton, ensuring that we were satisfied with the works completed and that the very minor snag we had identified was rectified promptly and to our satisfaction and that we understood and agreed with the final invoicing.” Grahame Kirsopp, Site Agent, Morgan Sindall Plc.
