"What a wonderful professional, kind and thoughtful young man Mikey is! He went over and above any other tradespeople I have encountered! He rang to confirm the time he was coming, he was on time, polite and informative about the problem I was experiencing with my patio door. Thank you so so much! I shall be recommending you!"
