As we at Golden Times always like to support our advertisers, when we needed to call on a builder recently, we contacted Phil at Oakwood (Whose ad you can see on the opposite page) After a number of frustrating experiences with tradesmen recently, it was nice to deal with someone who turned up exactly when he said he was going to and did exactly what he said he was going to do! If you're looking to get some work done, we'd recommend giving Oakwood a call as we felt we got good service and honest advice from Phil!
