I thought that it was about time that I dropped you a line to say thank you for the many years of very professional and economical service that SAPS4U have offered my practice. You have always been very speedy with your turn around, and always offered alternatives and/or additional measures as required to meet the building regulations, when I have not furnished you with sufficient information. This has always been appreciated.I have no hesitation at all in recommending you to other practices that require your services
