Head Teacher’s Comments:
“DL Rhodes builders took over the completion of our extension and have done a magnificent job for us! We now have a wonderful extended services room, classroom and staffroom. We found Nigel and Paul very easy to work with from beginning to end and the quality of their workmanship has been superb! The timeline presented to us at the start of the project was kept to and any issues along the way have been sorted quickly and efficiently. All the health and safety requirements were spot on and DL Rhodes’ workforce were professional and courteous at all times. I would absolutely recommend DL Rhodes to any school considering building work!”
