Excellent service throughout. Special thanks to Annissa

Thank you so much! I never thought it would look so clean and fresh again. When I enquired I also asked another local company to do it and ther were going to charge double. It worried me that I may have chosen a lower service but I was proven wrong and I am sooo happy i chose you to complete the work. I will leave a review on facebook & share with my friends.

Our request was for an inclusion of another family member to a memorial, this was done professionally, courteously and efficiently

Annissa provided a very concise and calm approach, so you felt everything would be done as requested

Excellent throughout

I would almost go as far as Annissa being telepathic, as whenever I thought to contact her, she would contact me. That would indicate that communication was just righy. I had a dilema to choose either a new headstone or to add inscription to the existing stone, which also needed some tlc. Annissa costed both options for me so that i could compare and offered as much information as possible. She also set out expectations in timescale and what could be achieved. These were accurate and im more than pleased with the finished headstone. Annissa Thank you for your guidance, patience and support through this process.

I found your staff very helpful and sympathetic. We only need the stone cleaned but nothing was too much trouble and any questions abourt future work we answered helpfully.

All the work carrried out to a good standard. Thanks.
