Recent Handyman reviews in Essex

Fred was fantastic and was exactly as I needed. White glove handling of all pieces, laser measurement tools and took his time to get everything exactly right. If you have art work that needs an expert eye with a mathematical mind and state of the art equipment then Fred’s your guy. 10/10 service and quality!
