Testimonials
The testimonials below with stars and ratings are form checkatrade from when I moved to Eastbourne (now happily back in Brighton 👍) for four years. I no longer have a checkatrade account but the testimonials are there if you want to google.
The other testimonials are older and given to me by customer to go on my own website. I have just joined the website My Job Quote and will start asking for testimonials again. When I'm not in directories I don't ask for testimonials anymore.
