“We were extremely happy with the level of professionalism, communication and service by T&B Contractors. The relationship that their team established with our staff was very positive and this meant that we were always consulted in key decisions regarding the process of our building work, despite the disruption caused by the global pandemic. I would happily work with T&B again, and particularly Site Manager Peter Cheesman who has been exemplary throughout.”
