We just wanted to say thank you for the service we received today.
Due to covid, shielding etc this was the first time anyone had been in our house for approximately ten months, so we were obviously cautious.
We were really impressed with the covid precautions and ppe used, this made us feel safe and confident.
Thank you for your professionalism and an excellent service.
Regards
Jane and Rod Berlyn
