Have used Bruce’s services three times now both as ‘bare’ plant hire and ‘man and machine’ hire as we remodelled our garden. From first phone call we received nothing but pleasant and courteous treatment, and reasonable prices, and a reliable service. What he quoted was what we paid, completely honest and up front. He came when promised and finished when forecast. But.... Those things I expect, I suppose. What I hadn’t expected was the quality of the plant and personnel. The work was far better than I expected, absolutely top quality delivered as though I should have expected nothing else. To put this into perspective, my day job is running large construction projects. 40 ton excavators everywhere. Bruce’s team is not some little ‘domestic’ quality company, their work would stand scrutiny against anyone’s, can’t recommend him highly enough. And please read the one star review left below. Some fool leaving a poison pen review which has nothing to do with this company, a completely different firm, ‘what a plonker’...

Bruce was great to work with. He came and estimated the job with no hype or nonsense. He showed up on the day, on time, with the right equipment. He listened to what we wanted and why. Made sensible suggestions and got the job done in a neat and tidy manner. He has also arranged for the concrete to be poured tomorrow. Cannot recommend enough.
