old / vunerable or proper people use it to source 'reputable' tradesmen in our area.

Hi re your query regarding site in London. Our commercial team tell me that we supplied Saxon paving buff, some textured edging in silver grey and and some conservation kerb again in silver grey. They can find nothing else that we provided to that site. Hope this helps
