The survey
On a survey in Dumfries the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows. We book surveys in Dumfries at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
