I am a retired painter & decorator this was suggested to me for insulation for a flat I am moving into. I Looked at the cork sol videos and contacted Frankie off approved contractors he gave a quote which was acceptable. Booked a date turned up on time completely masked and sheeted up to a high standard. Would definitely employ this company again. Everyone that has visited the flat has commented on how warm it is. Just had it plastered today very pleased with the service and outcome.
