Very professional at all stages of the process and kept us informed on what was happening and why. The damp work was dealt with in as clean a way as these things are possible with the guys putting plastic sheeting over everything we couldn’t move. When there was an unexpected leak in the nearby heating pipes (which were very old!) this was dealt with promptly by the plumber R&S employs. This saved us extra hassle we didn’t need! This is the second time I have used this company and highly recommend them.

Very good job of repairing a concrete floor and laying suitable flooring in a shower room and corridor. Bathroom fittings were removed and put back; doors were refitted to accommodate the new flooring. However the total job took longer than we thought and there was a mis-communication over the date for the work to take place.

Overall I was happy with the quality of the work, and the final result is very good. The thing that stopped me from giving a higher rating was that some of the work had to be repeated - some damp proof membranes had to be redone in order to be able to do the plastering properly. This delayed the whole job significantly, though I do understand that as it happened over the Christmas period, timing was difficult, but it was frustrating, and brought extra distruption and cleaning up. I should stress that the response of Steven Hornby to this problem was very good and helpful, and the same goes for Bob Emery.

I asked for a roof survey based on information given in the home report when I bought this house in May. I had to wait about 3 weeks, less than I expected considering how well respected and busy Richardson and Starling are. The report was delivered by email with details and costs fully explained. Only a minor error in describing the house which was of no consequence. I arranged for the work to be done and waited another 2 weeks or so. On the date arranged the two young men arrived as expected, we're up in the loft for about 2 hours, cleared up and finished by letting me know not to go up there for a couple of hours. Very efficient, clean and effective work thank you very much. I can see why you are so highly rated.

First class service and effort from Evan, who worked beyond his hours to make sure the job was complete to a high standard. Evan communicated with us to let us know exactly when he’d arrive, then explained what he would do, what precautions we had to take (some floorboards were removed and the joists sprayed to kill a small section of woodworm), and was friendly and helpful throughout. Very impressed.

Excellent service from start to finish. From our surveyor - Mark Kerr, to the guys that did the work - Neil Ferris and Davie Shepherd, the team were fantastic. Neil and Davie worked non-stop and completed the work to a high standard. They were very respectful of our property and always had time to discuss the work and answer any questions we had. The plasterer Jimmy was also excellent. He completed the work quickly to an extremely high standard.

The team were professional, efficient and prompt. They were respectful of my house by laying covering and protecting my flooring. My father used this firm 30years ago and he recommended them at that time, can't praise them enough.

The Dundee team of Richardson and Starling did an excellent job of dealing with the dry rot in our house. I would particularly mention the work of Bob Emery, the joiner. He was very competent and efficient, and he was always happy to take the time to explain to us what he was doing and why. And he was very cheerful, despite the fact that Storm Babet was raging at the time and making everything just that bit more difficult.
