Kitchen Fitting- 7 Jun 2018
RL Refurbishments have done a brilliant job of refitting our kitchen. The quality of the installation is excellent. They started the job when they said they would and completed the installation within the anticipated timeframe and within budget. We specified one or two extras and nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend RL Refurbishments . Nice people to do business with as well so all good.

Bricklaying- 31 Dec 2021
Communication with Jay (Juniad) was good -I let out the house that needed urgent structural work, I live miles away. My tenants gave feedback for him saying- amazing, hardworking and just got on with it, despite the horrible weather that we had. They powered through and we are immensely grateful, especially as they even cleaned the pathway and front garden from the brick residue caused by the drilling they had to do. The letting agent also said he was polite and pleasant. It’s always a worry booking someone you don’t know personally but I’m glad I said yes when Jay quoted for my job!!

High and Wide converted our double garage into a home gym with artificial grass and ground work. As soon as we spoke to Will over zoom we felt confident with our project. We were over seas so building the trust and relationship was so important for us to be able to go ahead with High and Wide. Wills knowledge and expertise were second to none and he answered all our questions with detail and explanations. His construction knowledge is excellent and nothing so too much effort. I would highly recommend High and Wide to anyone planning a project!

Mustafa is excellent! He did a fantastic job on our bathroom - so much so, that when we decided on a more extensive construction project, he was our first call. He is communicative, friendly, and hardworking. All his team are sweet guys and they did a great job for a great price. I cannot recommend him enough.
