Customers Reviews
A few recent testimonials from satisfied customers, emphasizing craftsmanship, reliability, and professionalism.
Matthew Atton
Chimney Repairs
“Ryan of R French was quick to reply to my initial contact. He visited the property, provided a detailed and explained clearly the work he would do. He started the works on time, completed the works within the timescale proposed, he arranged a roofer to carry out additional works and he left the property clean and clear of debris. The recent weather has been a very good test for the work he carried out and so far so good. Ryan was a pleasure to deal with from start to end and I would have no hesitation in recommending him.”
Sandra Hynes
Stone Replacements
“We were very happy with Ryan’s professionalism and workmanship. He made himself available to help us with an urgent request and always responded quickly to all communication. The job was completed as promised and on time.”
George Aitken
Stone Repairs
“First class stone mason. We engaged Ryan to carry out a repair to a mullion at the front of our house. The resultant repair was excellent and he blended the repair with the original so that you can hardly notice it. Would recommend his services to anyone who would require them.”
Sharon Simpson
Stone Repairs/House Sign
“We would not hesitate in recommending Ryan French for any stonework repairs. We have followed his work on social media for sometime and it is clear he is a very well trained Artisan with a real passion for his craft. Ryan repaired stonework to our house and created a sandstone house sign with chiselled lettering. We are over the moon with the end result. He started the job when he said he would and kept us up to date throughout as to when he would be back and what he would be doing. He provided a fair estimate and the work carried out was of the highest standard. He and his apprentice were very mannerly and respectful of us and the property, cleaning up thoroughly and hosing down surfaces after each visit.
We have nothing negative to say at all.”
