Many thanks for a fabulous chimney

Chris Skinner

John provided a thorough WETT inspection, and offered valuable supplementary advice and answers to my questions. Very knowledgeable and professional. I was made aware in advance by Louise that John was unable to work effectively with a face mask given the nature of the work, but we were able to compensate with adequate social distancing.
