We’ve had the pleasure of working with Dave and his team on a number of projects, and we can confidently say they’re one of the most reliable and professional teams we’ve come across in the industry.Whether it’s completing first fixes of fire and warden control systems or assisting on-site with complex installs, they always work quickly, efficiently, and in full compliance with regulations — all without issues. Their ability to adapt and find solutions to unexpected problems is a real asset, and communication is always consistent and clear throughout every job.
What really sets them apart is their cleanliness and professionalism. Our clients constantly comment on how tidy the team is, and we’ve even had residents in commercial blocks take the time to let us know how courteous and respectful they are while working. One quote that stood out to us was: “I’ve never seen a contractor use a hoover so much whilst working.”
In short, they’re fast, dependable, and a genuinely great team to work with. We always have full confidence when recommending them for projects — both for our own clients and alongside our fire and security systems.
