Bradley CullRated 5 out of 5· 6 months ago
We recently had a new bathroom installed and couldn't be happier with the result. From the initial discussion through to completion, everything was handled professionally and with great attention to detail.
Trish ThorntonRated 5 out of 5· 5 months ago
Good communications leading up to and during the visit. Repair carried out successfully and rectified another contractor's previously less than perfect work.
Michael JoyalRated 5 out of 5· 6 months ago
The workmanship itself was exceptional, they handled everything with great attention to detail, whether it was routine maintenance or emergency repairs. The team arrived on time, worked cleanly and efficiently, and made sure the finished result exceeded my expectations.
Neil FairnieRated 5 out of 5· 6 months ago
Excellent Service. Really great communication throughout which is something I've found is usually non-existant with contractors nowadays. Price was very reasonable.
Bethany SinclairRated 5 out of 5· 8 months ago
PCS are great, they're always on hand and happy to help. They offer solutions rather than bring problems, I'll continue recommending them for jobs big and small!
