Thanks for the kind review Kris, best wishes Garry
Garry was available instantly which was very helpful as we needed to certify our pool quickly. Garry was most helpful in explaining the non-compliance issues of our pool and provided various options to resolve the issues. Upon reinspection 2 days later everything was compliant and the pool safety certificate issued.

I found Garry when I was sent a letter from the council regarding my pool. From day one he explained everything so clearly and was so easy to communicate via email, text and calls. He provided options and suggestions. Not sure what we would have done without his services. Thank you so much for you advice and time. Highly recommend!
