Thanks Darren. I unfortunately missed the messages he had sent me to do the job on Thursday as I initially had requested. but he made sure to get the job done the next day which was great! I was at work and Darren updated me with photos on how the job progressed and cleaned up afterwards. My house mate has said he has done a great job and I’m very satisfied.
