How we work
Honest advice, no pressure.
We explain the options, including the ones that won't pay back for you, and let you decide in your own time.
One team from survey to sign-off.
Survey, design, installation, the grid application, your certificates and aftercare, all handled by us, so there's one company to call.
You'll know what's happening.
We tell you when the survey, scaffolding and installation are booked, and who's coming.
Tidy, careful work.
We look after your home or site while we're there and clear up before we leave.
Safety first.
We work with a health and safety consultant, keep training our team and take on trainees unconfirmed, and we're assessed to CHAS Advanced and ISO 45001.
"Brandon walked us through the process calmly ( and patiently ) answering question after question. He never pushed us into purchasing anything we didn’t require, he was totally professional and friendly throughout. … The aftercare was excellent …"
The team
The people you'll speak to, and the people who'll be at your home or site.
