Excellent service from start to finish and further advice after the process had been approved. Before bricks applied for a drop kerb for me, after being advised by neighbours they had been rejected. My application was approved. Worth every penny as Isaac and his team handled every single aspect/detail of the whole process.

Beforebricks helped me with an objection
Beforebricks helped me with an objection to a proposed development on our boundary. They were amazing to deal with, very responsive and the objection letter they prepared was very thorough and impressive. I was delighted with the service they offered and would definitely use them again.
