“I am very pleased with the work that Standage completed for envelope repairs at Staple Inn.
It was a pleasure to work with Standage’s site agent and management team. The pro-active approach ensured that the scope of the work was correctly interpreted and fostered engagement of all the team.
Standage’s direct labour and sub-contractors applied their considerable skills to the project.
The results are clearly commensurate with the buildings’ listings at grade l and ll.”
