Strengths

  • Google shows 4.8 from 45 reviews, seen 3 September 2026 [5].

  • The site publishes a landline, two mobiles, an email address and a contact form with a chat route [3].

Limitations

  • Trustpilot shows 3.7 from 9 reviews including no-show and quality complaints from 2023-2024, which tempers the Google picture [6].
