Chris Keelty worked for us removing the old thatch and re-thatching the main house, about five weeks in all. During this time we found him to be a conscientious worker and a pleasure to have around, arriving punctually each morning and leaving after a full day’s work. At the end of each day he left the area around the house clean and tidy.
Chris is a true craftsman whose quality of workmanship is plain for all to see, it is admired by all who pass and visit the house, added to his skill is the fact that he is a thoroughly decent chap and totally trustworthy.
I do not intend here to write pages, but let it be said in these few words; I have nothing but the highest praise for his character and his craftsmanship. I therefore recommend him to you.
