"Richard Thomas Conservatories provided an excellent quote for everything including the planning application. The project manager kept us up to date with all work that was needed (electrician, glass fitters, plasterer, tiler etc) and when they would be attending to complete the work. All the tradesmen that attended were meticulous with their work, extremely tidy. They kept the mess to a minimum including the knock through to the house. Excellent."
