After home maintenance, I got a discount on 4 courses – plumbing, tiling, carpentry and plastering.

Particularly impressed with the care Sally & others took to prepare detailed ‘risk assessment’ for my participation on course when advised of my pregnancy (20 weeks).

Excellent. I didn’t have a lot of construction/trade experience and a lot of places have a bit of snobbery and condescend if you don’t know something obvious, but you guys didn’t, I didn’t feel intimidated asking questions and Dave was really supportive.
