I received two quick responses that were from the same company. I didn't go ahead with the quote as the various amounts quoted differed as the conversation developed. As a consequence, I was a bit confused and decided not to proceed.
Hi there Conor,
Thanks for your review,
It's great to hear that we could help connect you with professionals who could help.
It's important to feel comfortable with a quoted price, and so we would always recommend viewing all options before choosing the professional.

I used Bark service to find a magician at short notice for a 50th birthday party. Within no time at all I had heard back from three professionals. I choose the one who got back to me the first, and who sounded and looked exactly what I was after.
Tom Brace (the magician) was magic in every sense. His banter was spot on for the audience. He mixed, mingled entertained, and wowed around the various groupings of people. He couldn't have been fairer (stopping the clock on his performance whilst people ate), or more flexible (allowing me to book an extra hour on the spot, in keeping with how the party was going). I would most definitely recommend him for a family party - indeed I'm sure he would be fantastic at any function.

Really pleased that the vendor got back to me right away, set up a meeting & started the project within 2 days...
Joseph Moyles at Personal Press made a great presentation, distinguishing his approach & style of work and was very accommodating to the needs & specifics of the project. This is an ongoing project that I am looking forward to seeing the final project!

We have just had a side roof replace by A-class roofing and construction LTD.
