Would highly recommend Playfords to anyone; the service is quick, polite and very efficient. The engineers are still of the best calibre of any I know that visit our school. I would not go anywhere else as I do believe that we have experienced the best!

“

As we near the completion of your works on HMP Millsike I just wanted to put in writing how pleased we have been with your team’s performance over the last 14 months. Throughout their time on site, Mark Grady and Liam Nixon have been fantastic to work with. They have always been proactive, able and honest, making the data installation across the whole site as seamless and pain-free as possible. They have been well supported of course by Dan Betty your Project Manager and your operatives across the many workfaces. I would have no hesitation in working with Playford’s in the future and can happily say you have been one of our best MEP subcontractors on site. Thanks to you and your team.
