Barry and Alex come and fitted my shutters, no mess at all, you would never of known they had been. My curtain poles were close to the shutters, so I was unable to open my shutters fully. After a day I had decided a wanted my curtain pole moved. Messaged Barry and they were moved in a few day, again without any problems. I am now hoping to have the thermal blinds at the back of my house. Would never use any one else and HIGHLY recommend these guy. 5 star service, from start to finish.
