“Simon of SCM Garage doors was recommended to us and from start to finish the service was faultless. Even when the supplier of the doors encountered a brief delay Simon did not hesitate in personally keeping me up to date rather than leaving me not knowing”

Urban Nature removed a big tree well for me.

Urban nature have done a great job for me for at least 10 years... annual pruning of trees and a wisteria that covers the front of my house. When my 30-year-old maple got sick and was dying, I knew that Urban Nature would do a good job for me, and they did. They were also supportive of my feelings of sadness at losing the tree.

Our burglar alarm started to go off at odd times (like in middle of football semifinals) . We called Rob to investigate. He came a few days later and discovered our battery had not been changed for 12 years (5 years is maximum recommended) . New battery installed and no problem so far. Will see if it goes off for final games. Very professional, honest, knowledgeable , highly recommended.

Spray foam removal

Following a difficult situation with a company who tried to tell me I needed a new roof I was happy to deal with AC Insulation.
The men worked hard and carefully. There was no mess. The job has been completed and as far as I can see it is a good job at a fair price.
