I searched and contacted several firms to get quotes and for people to come out and have a look. Painful. Then found KCS… I sent a message and in less than 24hrs an appointment was made. Kian came over to view the job, measured up and came up with several options, within 48hrs everything was agreed including price and a date was agreed. The team turned up bang on time, talked me through the job and started. No stress, no drama and the finished job is excellent.
