Brilliant service - we were in a desperate position needing to documentation relating to a landlord certificate and they came out the next day squeezing us into their schedule -
Minniedale Projects ★★★★★
We recently approached THS Concepts to carry out a level survey of the screed to the ground floor of a large residential property we were Project Managing. The property was undergoing extensions and re-furbishment work. We had a tight time … More scale to receive the information and THS Concepts delivered quickly and efficiently to meet our deadline. This is the second time we have used them and would highly recommend. -
Billy Buckley ★★★★★
