Testimonials

At W. Songhurst Ltd, we take great pride in the relationships we build with our clients. Over the years, we have had the privilege of working with numerous satisfied clients who have been kind enough to share their experiences with us. Here are a few testimonials from some of our happy clients:

"I just wanted to thank both of you very much for getting our home back to normal! It has been quite a journey! I really have appreciated the support both of you gave us. There were times when I really couldn't imagine our house ever getting back to how it was. You really have succeeded in getting it looking exactly as it did before all the works commenced." - Mr. and Mrs. Steer, Richmond

"We just wanted to add this note to say what a fantastic team you have working for your company. The last year has been very difficult for us but made so much more bearable by witnessing the skill and care your crew have taken in stripping out and repairing our house. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them, and we found them to be honest, trustworthy, and reliable at all times. We especially wanted to mention Mark and Dave, who were there the longest. They were hard-working, diligent, and empathetic to our plight. Also, Chris Chittick was amazing overseeing the works and ironing out any problems. We were actually sad to say goodbye to these men! We would have no hesitation in recommending your company and are very grateful for all you have done for us. You have given us back our home - Many many thanks." - Mr. and Mrs. Martin, Weybridge

"Having recently moved back to our new home, my wife and I wanted to express a sincere thank you to all concerned for the work carried out in the original demolition and the re-building of our home. The words above do not convey the emotions and heartaches, the highs and lows of the long period of time we had to endure through the insurers, loss adjusters, and local authority departments. What I can state was that once 'Songhurst's were on board, we felt we had people who were dedicated to helping us and developed a good and strong working relationship. There were many times that Songhurst's personnel helped us over and above what would normally be expected. The work was carried out safely, with a lot of care, experience, craftsmanship, consideration for our neighbours, and regularly cleaning up the site. Songhurst's also showed a good tolerance of my continued involvement and sense of humour. We could not have asked for more. We both thoroughly recommend W Songhurst Ltd to anyone who would ask. Once again, thanks from both of us." - Mr. and Mrs. Pope, Horley
