The work was in 2 stages, one to accurately measure and agree the job, the second the actual fitting. The first stage obviously worked well as the window, plus extending the size of the opening worked well. The two people who actually came to do the work were, throughout the whole experience, professional, helpful and hard-working (even braving the horrible wet weather that passed through). They left a neat finish and no mess. (Heavers also sub-contracted a local plasterer - Eugene Crabb - to finish internally, only a small job, but well done also).
My only complaint, and I know this has been a difficult year for many reasons, was delay and more especially keeping me informed. It was necessary for me to seeks updates every month. However, the end result is just as we hoped for, better even.

Our new replacement porch is brilliant compared to the old and is a testimony to the high standard of Heavers' work and their attention to detail.

Excellent work. Not always the cheapest but quality is good. The team are helpful and efficient and clean up when they finish. They worked sensibly round the COVID19 problems and completed in good time all things considered. This is the third time I've used them and won't be the last.
