First class company to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble, We had an idea of what we wanted for our extension, they suggested some innovative design ideas that we went ahead and incorporated into the final plans. Professional and very friendly service. Highly recommended

Eap and their wonderful team have been amazing on my nightmare extension. Always friendly and helpful, always return your calls, points out things other people hadn't seen to prevent further problems occurring later on and even managed to do my calculations before scheduled to help speed things up for me. Definitely recommend, a team that goes that extra mile for its clients no matter how small. Cant thank them enough for all their help. Tina
