THE CRAFTWORX SURVEY
Each window will be assessed internally and externally where possible and we will discuss what each individual window requires with you.
A written estimate of the works required will be provided following our survey.
Once you are happy for us to proceed, we will arrange a suitable date to commence and determine the timescale for the work to be completed. If any additional work is uncovered during the renovation we will discuss options with you before proceeding.
