Report
Whilst the work was done as required, I was charged double the labour time than what actually took place. To make matters worse when I attempted to rectify this with the company owner via telephone I was verbally abused and threatened if I did not pay the amount in full. A truly horrific experience, one I would not wish on anyone else. Stay well clear.
