Veronica Morrison 

After removing an old water tank cupboard to give me more bedroom space, I required a plasterer to repair my damaged walls.

Contacted Firmus on Friday late afternoon to see when they might get it done for me. Wasn't expecting anytime soon. But true to their word their plasterer was here at 9am Tuesday.

Made an amazing job, considering the holes and damage from removal. Never even left any mess as cleaned up afterwards also. Highly recommend and will have no hesitation in using them again. Many thanks.

Martin Tait,

David was kind enough to sponsor a kids football club I coach with, donating £500 cash to allow them entry into the winter indoor Futsal league so the lads can keep playing through the cold months. Very much appreciated considering I have never met David he was asked by someone we know mutually and had no hesitation in helping out. A very kind gesture, thanks from all the Glen Lions Football Club we are very grateful!

Michael Kane 

I have used Firmus several times over the last couple of years. The most recent job was to remove a leaky skylight and re-sark and slate.

I phoned in the morning and the roofer came out that afternoon and completed the job. Rab, the roofer did a top job!

Good value!
