Callum was great at the onset dealing with my party wall requirements with my two neighbours. He was very supportive and clearly explained the process step by step. He was easily contactable and answered my queries with great understanding. He was very accommodating by attending conference calls with the constructor and also via email. Overall the process was seamless and party wall awards were completed in quick time. Thank you Callum. Trusted and recommended.
