I contacted Crystal Clear Access Hire, regarding a piece of guttering that had come apart at one of our offices.
The office was 4 stories high, so due to the height we needed to hire a cherry picker.
I contacted several hire agencies and Crystal Clear came back with the most
competitive quote and even offered to fix the guttering at no extra cost for us, as this was a small job.
This was completed the next day, whilst they were there, they even cleared out all the guttering also at no extra charge and a full report with pictures was emailed to me.
As a facilities manager looking after 30 branches across Kent, London and Sussex, contractors like Crystal Clear Access Hire are like finding a rare diamond.
If I need their help on any further jobs in the future, I will not hesitate to contact
them.
I would highly recommend their quick professional services.
