"Yes this small maintenance job went well. the extent of rot and damage, missing bolts/bracing and piles subsiding in soft (not deep enough into solid ground.) left by previous builders was worse than anticipated. We were very clear in what we found and brought to the attention of the owners as extra repair work had to be undertaken to bring it up to an acceptable level.
Overall friendly enough clients to deal with."
