Company Reference from Watkin Jones

We began working with Andrew and the former Continental Installations team back in 2007 and for the past 18 months with him and Ray as part of their new venture R & A Installations Ltd. In that time, we have found them to be an honest and professional company.

A company priding themselves in their collaborative approach from pre-contract advice, subcontract negotiation, installation, prompt attention to snagging and non-confrontational approach to settling their account.

We have benefitted from their high-rise and large project experience and used their knowledge in product choices, detailing and access decisions on many of our PBSA projects across the country.

I would have no reservations about recommending R & A Installations Ltd for any type of project.
