Jason did a good job. It cost more than I expected as he needed to replace the taps and some of the piping but he was able to do all of the tasks I asked him to complete and it all looks nice.

The job was done professionally and to a high standard - under very hot conditions! The tradesperson was friendly, polite, and courteous throughout - so really happy with his work. The only disappointment was that this job was meant to have been done the day before by a different tradesperson. The appointment was rescheduled last minute which was highly inconvenient. But given the excellent job that I ended up with, I think it worked out for the best.
