Great service

Great service, as I needed job done asap. Lovely guys, very friendly, with great communication from start to finish. Unfortunately, price was renegotiated on the day, which wasn't expected and two small lavender bushes were accidentally trimmed.
However, overall, great job and would definitely recommend and will probably use again! 😀

Checkatrade's website and app are easy to use; had the job listed within minutes of setting up an account.
Service from our chosen company was swift, professional and came in at an extremely competitive price. Would most certainly recommend to others, and use again in the future.
