Regal Interiors (UK) Ltd

Thanks to Richard & Phil for the speedy delivery of bathroom items needed to complete our bathroom project. Regards.

Wonderful show room and very helpful staff. Dealt with Scott who went out of his way to help without being pushy. So impressed with his service I returned and purchased my bathroom fittings. Will definitely be returning. Excellent customer service.

We discovered a water leak in our house bathroom. It was obvious that there was a problem with the cistern but we could not access it. We called Regal, the installation had been done a coup,e of years or so earlier so we were concerned that any warranty might have expired. Lucy Frost looked after our problem. She arranged for a fitter to come and assess the work, a new panel was needed and she looked after that, keeping us informed through voicemails and she also organised the final fitting date. The fitters worked competently and diligently. Overall the work was completed to an ‘as new’ standard. We have been delighted with Regal’s service, especially Lucy.

Regal Interiors fitted a shower room 3 years ago , and we were very pleased with the quality of workmanship. However we started to have problems with the shower door in November, and them in early December when engineers came out twice to try to resolve the problem. In the end as the correct part was not available they ordered and fitted a new door completely free of charge very quickly. Their standard of service is excellent, and all we dealt with were helpful and efficient. We highly recommend them.

The process of choosing through to fitting was a straightforward process. I never felt I was being persuaded to have things I didn’t need and the staff at the company were always helpful and not at all pushy The fitter was very experienced , very considerate and did a first rate job.

My advice to anyone who is looking for a new bathroom renovation and wants an outstanding professional service and an exceptional finish, to look no further than Regal Interiors. I wanted to convert a bedroom into a bathroom, which included some difficult changes. From the initial design to the final completion, I was absolutely confident that the job would be to an excellent standard because of the time that was taken to get the details right. Firstly, nothing was too much trouble whilst creating the design ideas, then I was impressed with the extremely detailed quotation that made all the costs very clear and comprehensive. The communication was very good at all stages and all the timings worked perfectly. The bathroom fitter, Jordan, was extremely hard working and his craftsmanship was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble for him in preparing everything thoroughly to ensure the finish was superb and he went above and beyond to create a bathroom that suits all my requirements. To complete the total effect, the beautiful flooring was fitted to the highest standard by Sam. My bathroom is stunning and I would highly recommend this first class company.

Acting upon a recommendation from our next-door neighbour and seeing the quality work done, we felt confident that a possible reburbishment of our Bathroom with Regal was the right enquiry to make. It turned out so well. Adrian took us through all the options and even suggested a plan that we hadn't thought of ourselves. A quote was quickly dispatched to us and a date for commencement was arranged. The date was again confirmed the week before and Jordon, the fitter arrived on the day arranged and set about rebuilding our bathroom. There were a few snags at first with the plumbing, but they were quickly and professionally attended to. Jordan worked very hard and with great efficiency. Within the same time scale the Electrician and 'Karndean' floor fitter arrived and between them produced a flawless result. We are very happy with it and pleased we chose Regal. Nothing was too much trouble. We highly recommend them and we are showing our friends and family the new bathroom. They are amazed too, at what has been achieved. Thank you 'Regal Interiors'

From start to finish our new bathroom was designed and fitted to excellent standards. At the design stage all our concerns were taken into account and where other companies said what we wanted couldn't be done Andy came up with a design after, talking to a fitter, that could work and fulfill our needs. We went to talk through the designs and where free to change anything. There was no pressure at all. When we were happy with everything a date was set and the work began. Scott did all the work and worked miracles, moving pipework to enable the design we wanted. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was right for us. The customer service was excellent and all the team were friendly and approachable, keeping in regular contact to check we were happy with how everything was going. We now have a bathroom we are totally happy with. I would highly recommend them and will definitely use them again.

I visited the showroom to view their wardrobe range and was greeted by Smita. She was very friendly and helpful and answered all my questions. I chose the Holcombe/melford range in Kashmir. The work began on the exact date given by John, the fitter. John worked without breaks and was very respectful of my property and at the end of each day the room was tidy and left in a clean condition. Everything went according to plan without any problems at all. I am absolutely delighted with my wardrobes and the excellent service that I received from everyone at Regal Interiors. First class service and quality products.

From the booking of a initial planning appointment to the completion, the service was exceptionally good. I hade a partial update of en-suite (vanity unity with basin, a new toilet and a Karndean floor) and a new vanity unit in a cloakroom. Kevin installed everything very efficiently and was exceptionally clean and tidy. Andy kept us informed of the order and installation dates and checked that the work was of a good standard. The work was excellent and the administration was efficient. I can highly recommend Regal Interiors. Thank you.

We have used Regal Interiors a number of times over several years. On this occasion it was for the design and fitting of a new kitchen. We received the usual helpful advice about what was and wasn’t possible and when we visited the showroom there was always one of the two kitchen sales people there to help us - they have endless patience. The fitting was carried out to the highest standard and with great respect for us and our property. There was one tiny thing to put right after the kitchen was fitted and that has already been addressed. The final cost was exactly as quoted minus some items that did not turn out to be necessary.

The bathroom fitter Paul was professional throughout, explaining the difficulties and helping to resolve them. He was also very tidy and courteous and arranged times that were suitable for us. The salesman Adrian was similarly professional and helpful

I can unreservedly recommend this company. I had a new bathroom fitted involving a separate toilet and bathroom combining. I was worried about the time it would take and the mess. I needn’t have worried. The whole process was made so easy and painless. Brilliant customer service from Adrian and the whole team. Things happened as promised from plans, paperwork and phone calls to the actual fitting by an amazing father/son combo. The quality of work is superb. What was promised was delivered to the highest standards. Everyone I came into contact with was friendly, helpful and always went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. I cannot believe how smoothly it went. The personal touch was always in evidence. I never felt like just another customer. Any question or query I had was answered immediately. Always easy to get in touch with the relevant member of the team. Having fairly recently moved into a bungalow requiring a lot of work from various contractors I can honestly say this was my best experience so far. Brilliant from start to finish.

I used Regal to remodel and fit my kitchen. I wanted someone who would manage the whole process for me and they were recommended by a friend. The whole process was easy and stress free. The showroom staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and designed a lovely kitchen for me. At no time did I feel under pressure to make decisions and took my time to get all the details and costs right. All costs are fully detailed on the quote which I liked as nothing is hidden and it’s easy to see where costs are. The fitting process started on the date agreed and it all ran like clockwork with all the trades arriving as needed so there was no delay. The fitter and all the trades were friendly and professional and carried out the work to a high standard. The whole process was stress free and I would highly recommend Regal. They really do what they say they will and unlike what I’ve heard about some of the larger stores they do really care about getting it right for you.

Regal have just completed their works at our property. We have to thank them, and all their expert craftsmen, for providing us with such an incredible kitchen and bathroom. They should be proud of their company and the level of service they have provided.

The service and care from Regal Interiors has been absolutely first class from the moment we walked in to enquire about a new bathroom. Your greeting, attitude and ability to show a wide range of options for tiles, baths, showers and fittings was without pressure and with knowledge and experience. You undertook a full survey of our existing bathroom and with discussion and consideration produced designs and reccomendations to suit our needs and space. The fitting and installation was all undertaken to the highest standard, with an incredible eye for detail and perfection, and we are absolutely delighted with the finished bathroom suite - it is stunning. Since completion, we had one small problem with a dripping tap on the washbasin due to a slight fault with the tap and not bad workmanship I hasten to add, and Regal sorted this promptly and without any fuss replacing the tap free of charge. We have happily suggested and recommended Regal Interiors to others in our village who have required bathroom fitting services.

Regal Interiors competely refitted our kitchen. We opted for their comprehensive service from kitchen design/planning through to completion: removal of old kitchen including appliances, plastering, plumbing, electrics, fitting of units, worktop, appliances and flooring. We were impressed from the outset with the care and time taken to ensure the design was right for us and the careful costings. The work was fully project managed and happened on schedule. Communication was good throughout, any minor issues withthe refit were discussed with us and quickly resolved. The workers were competent, friendly, efficient and tidy, completing the work to a high standard within the timeframe we had been given. A complete, fully project managed refit is not a cheap option but for us was worth the expense. The service provided definitely took the worry and pain out of what is a very complex piece of work. We have no reservation in recommending them.

I was very impressed with how quickly the problem with the plug in my bathroom basin was dealt with & Richard did an excellent job.

I was extremely pleased with the work done by Regal Interiors to rectify a problem with my kitchen. The communication was friendly and once the problem was ascertained the work was carried out to a high standard in a professional manner. Small details were noticed and rectified without them being pointed out. I would definitely recommend.

I used Regal interiors for the fitting of a shower room and a wet room. Right from the start it was clear that I was dealing with professionals. Their showroom is laid out to the highest standards and the help I received when deciding on some of the key elements of the design was really appreciated. Their fitters turned up when they said they would, treated both me and my house with respect and the quality of their workmanship was of the highest standards. Despite the amount of work involved, my house was spotless when they left. I needed to call them shortly afterwards to report one slight issue and to their credit, someone came round the very next day to rectify it. I'm not sure it gets much better than this and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Regal Interiors, or using them again.

A sale is a sale but the real measure of a company you entrust work to, is how they respond to the after-sales, customer care needs. Regal interiors have been exemplary and the 2 occasions where we needed to contact them (a manufacturers fault on a shower and an electrical supply issue for an led mirror) their response was quick and efficient with no wriggling or attempts to pass responsibility to someone else. Textbook customer care and that really matters so top marks to the team at regal interiors.

We had our en suite fitted back in September 2020. We noticed that the toilet was showing some sign of flexing from the fixings hidden behind the panel. I reached out to Regal Interiors to explain the issue. The very same day I received an email to say this would be addressed under warranty and that the After Sales team would be in touch. Lucy duly called and Colin visited the very next day to remedy the issue. I was really impressed with the service provided and felt really pleased that we chose Regal Interiors as the issue of After Sales care was one of the reasons we decided to place our business with them. Some 15 months after the installation and our first issue that we experienced, it was dealt with promptly and without any hassle. Truly exceptional service

Very helpful staff responsive to my email sent and got back to me with a solution and then a very kind gentleman came and exchanged the handles once they had received them

Regal Interiors of Keighley in West Yorkshire transformed our bathroom a few months ago into something we still regard as rather special. The design, workmanship and finish of products was top notch and all the work was completed on time and within budget. Recently I thought there was an electrical problem in the bathroom and contacted RI for help and advice. Will, one of their Electricians attended within 24 hours but quickly ruled out any problem with the bathroom installation. Even so Will investigated the problem, identified the fault (faulty connection to an upstairs light) and fixed it! I am happy to acknowledge what I believe to be symptomatic of RI's work ethic ie. to provide comprehensive service and support to ensure the complete satisfaction of the customer. Thank you ,Will and thank you Regal Interiors.

We used Regal Interiors 5 years ago to completely remodel our kitchen and downstairs living area, making it completely open plan and with a fabulous new kitchen. We could not fault their work in any way and so when we were ready to upgrade and update our master bedroom, en-suite and have a dressing room created out of a spare bedroom, we didn't hesitate to call in Regal Interiors again. They have done another fantastic job and we are highly delighted.

Two installations completed bathroom and bedroom, bathroom transformed however after a couple of weeks noticed a cracked tile behind toilet, fitter returned and admitted he broke it whilst laying the floor but thought we wouldn’t notice it, tile replaced but had a leak on the toilet as a result, returned and rectified. Bespoke bedroom started, during planning we stipulated a place to store suitcases and room to fit an existing stool under the dresser which allowed the mirror to slide across. Andy the fitter started and it soon became apparent he wasn’t aware of our stipulations and continued the build. Unable to contact the planner as on holiday. Nearing completion the dresser unit was to be left without any backing board, further phone calls to rectify. On completion small details left including 20mm gap at side of frame for which we had to purchase trim from B&Q, incorrect coloured screw caps, told they couldn’t get any we found some after 3min search on Amazon. Although the work that was done was to a good standard we were left disappointed by the main issue of nowhere to store our suitcases and the inability of the mirror to slide across in front of the stored stool not to mention the finishing details.

One or two minor problems occurred two years after the original work was carried out (drain cover stuck, silicone sealant lifted and slight loss of temperature in shower) The problems were solved efficiently. Really marvelous service from this company. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have but rate this company highly. What stood out? That they sorted these issues out happily after 2 years! Regular contact regarding house call timing - polite and skilled tradesman.

We are very delighted with our new bathroom. Excellent service on our first visit to the showroom. Andy's design visit, advice, design and follow up visit at the showroom to choose colours and explain the design was excellent too. Andy continued to keep in touch and keep us informed regarding start date etc.. Considering the issues Covid 19 has caused with suppliers etc. Andy managed to bring the start date forward a week! Excellency continued throughout from day one when John & Ryan (fitters) arrived. They were more than helpful, kept us informed, very knowledgeable , extremely tidy and most importantly did an excellent job fitting our bathroom. They even explained to us how to resolve our house bathroom shower issue. Only downside was the price was a bit more expensive than we had originally thought but the quality products and quality service made it excellent value for money. We would recommend Regal Interiors to anyone and would certainly use them again - excellent.

We were looking to upgrade our bathroom as our son, who is a wheelchair user, was finding it increasingly difficult getting in and out of the bath. It took many trips to Regal Interiors to look at what they had available to build the perfect bathroom. We needed to take into account the height of wash basin and pedestal, toilet, type of shower, slip proof flooring, radiator open on one side to allow towels to be slid onto it, plus lots of other little extras like fitting of toilet roll holder, hand rail. The main considerations were the following: - • Sink - wheelchair accessible and correct height • Radiator - open sided for easy towel access • Shower and Shower Control - individual temperature control and shower head choice • Granite bench and shower screen - designed to allow safe access for our son and to be able to keep his wheelchair dry. The date for the work to commence was agreed and Graham & Billy did a superb job. They listened to our concerns and the job was completed to a high standard. On completion of the re-fit we have a bathroom that is not a typical disabled bathroom – no handrails in sight (despite us ordering one). We would like to thank Eleanor for her project management and Graham & Billy for basically just getting on with it and the outcome is a beautiful bathroom that our son feels it is a great improvement for him.

I have had my kitchen from Regal interiors. Very pleased with the work. The fitting and the tidiness of the workman. Always on time. And never let me down. I would go back to Regal. Bathroom next. Very efficiently run company very easy to do business with. Never thought that my kitchen would look so nice and well organised to suit all my needs and more.

I was very impressed with Regal Interiors, from the design visit to the completion they were very professional, they always kept me informed of when they were coming and how long it would take, they were tidy workers and very pleasant to deal with, I would definitely recommend them. The quality of the furniture is fantastic, my bedroom looks amazing.

I was very impressed at the speed and efficiency of Regal Interiors to replace a shower door at very short notice. I own a holiday cottage and whilst cleaning the bathroom on the Monday, the shower door came away in my hands! I phoned Regal Interiors and the following morning Adrian arrived to take measurements. He also pre arranged for the new door to be fitted, subject to quote, on Wednesday. The shower door was ordered on Tuesday afternoon, fitted on Wednesday ready for guest arrival on Thursday. Customer service is outstanding and the shower door of excellent quality.

We would like to thank Regal Interiors for our new kitchen from planning to installation The job went smoothly from start to finish and we got the kitchen of our dreams the design by Adrian Holdsworth was just what we wanted being only a small size he managed to increase our storage and workspace Making it much more usable and efficient and beautiful at the same time the fitting by John Crossley was expertly carried out to the last detail nothing was to much trouble clean and tidy and everything explained each day as the work progressed on the last day he cleaned every last drawer and unit and explained how to work all the new appliances leaving it all ready for us to use we would definitely recommend Regal Interiors to all our family and friends

Regal Interiors did a complete refit of our ensuite and a partial refit of our house bathroom. Despite the hiccough caused by the Covid 19 lockdown both jobs were completed efficiently. We were 100% delighted with the whole process from our initial visit to the showroom and the measuring and design service through to the installation by the friendly and efficient team. The new fittings and tiles are super too. We can highly recommend this company.

My husband and I have used Regal Interiors on three occasions in the past. On this occasion, they came to my aid when the shower screen ‘exploded’ one afternoon. Despite the fact that they had installed our bathroom in 2009, they sent their representative within the hour to assess and clear up the devastation! They ordered a new screen for us and installed it within two weeks. We were very impressed with the friendly and professional service that they gave us. We would not hesitate to use them again.

I visited Regal Interiors wanting a complete makeover on my bathroom and kitchen, having the colour schemes in mind already. Smita arranged to come to my house to measure up in order to do a proper quote and within a matter of a week at most, I was back at Regal reviewing the quote and the design of my kitchen/bathroom. I was so impressed that Smita had taken note of my preferred colour schemes and the fact that I wanted a modern feel to both rooms. She had selected out a few options of flooring, cupboard doors, and work surfaces that were to my taste; it didn't take me long to decide what I wanted as she had made it so easy. I signed on the dotted line at the start of October and by the start of December they were cracking on with the actual work. It was also completed by 23 December, with my snagging list (I am quite particular and have a keen eye!) completed on 24 December - that is dedication for me doing work on Christmas Eve! The full customer journey from pre-sale to post-sale is fabulous; I have been in touch recently I have noticed something on my flooring and Smita was on the case immediately ordering extra floor tiles and advising they would be in touch when the tiles arrived and they could start to carry out the exchange. I would highly recommend Regal Interiors to anyone, purely for the full customer experience :)

We have used Regal many times in the past, for a new kitchen, two bathrooms and three sets of fitted bedroom furniture. On this occasion we just wanted a built under freezer installed in our existing kitchen, the sink re-positioning and two new taps. We always approach Adrian Holdsworth because we have always had excellent advice and help from him, nothing has ever been too much trouble. He visited our property and made suggestions regarding how to proceed and then produced a detailed estimate. We didn’t have to wait long after accepting the quote and the work was completed in two days by John, he did an excellent job, working very hard and leaving everything as clean and tidy as he could. We always recommend Regal to friends and neighbours.

The plan: Move our bathroom into a larger room and restore the old bathroom as an office / spare room. It was scheduled to take just over 3 weeks. The entire process went without a hiccup. The planning was meticulous and nothing was too much trouble - Andy explained and showed us the possibilities. We were given 3D prints of the finished bathroom, along with itemised costs for everything. We had plenty of time to look through this and to make adjustments which were readily accommodated. The project planning was spot on - everything was on time and if anything had been overlooked, a quick phone call and it was brought to the house. Paul was there every day, and the team kept in contact so that there was never any waiting for someone to turn up and do their bit. Paul did much of the work and his attention to detail was superb - he clearly had an eye on the quality of the finished result. We expected to be without a shower for some of the time, but we left them to it for a few days in the middle. Paul managed to rearrange things so that when we came back, our new shower was in a state to be used. There was no hassle, nothing stopped the work from progressing. Paul and the electrician, plasterer, joiner and flooring fitter kept us informed and involved. They were respectful of our home and at the end of each day tidied up and stowed tools away. We are thrilled to bits. New superb bathroom, new spare room, new downstairs loo. Thoroughly recommend Regal Interiors

My neighbours had their 2 bathrooms done by Regal and, as I was thinking of getting my main bathroom renovated, it seemed logical to try Regal as well. Eleanor Fuller came out to see my flat and measure up. In no time at all, I had a nice schematic of her proposal. I was taken through the options and materials and was very happy. It was more expensive than I had envisaged and the commencement date seemed forever a way into the future (3 months). But come the day, Mike and Michelle arrived to transform my bathroom. They worked happily and didn't seem to want anything from me. They took me through what they were going to do and then what they had done, so that I felt fully informed all the time. The quality of the materials, fit and finish are excellent and worth every penny to have such a top quality job done. Sam then came to do the floor and, again, the workmanship is first rate. It took him about 4 hours to complete what I thought was a "simple" job! It wasn't just a case of laying tiles: the base had to be prepared, the awkward electricity conduit worked around and then the whole thing sealed. Flawless! Overall, a brilliant job: my bathroom is transformed and I am very pleased indeed.

Previously purchased a kitchen from Regal Interiors and was extremely happy with the service and suggestion from the sales representative. The installation team we very professional, punctual and clean & tidy when working in our home. Once the kitchen had been installed it looked even better than the 3D image they provided. It was a no-brainer to visit their showroom to choose our latest purchase of a shower room. The quality of service we received from the showroom staff was again brilliant and we are extremely happy with the quality of product and the professionalism of everyone we dealt with. Once again the installation team were punctual, clean and tidy and we are more than happy with the end result. I recommend anyone to visit there new kitchen display as it is absolutely magnificent. Well done to all the team from a very happy customer!!

Regal refurbished our en-suite. It ended up being exactly as we would have wished for and we were pleased with the service and support. Everything happened as had been planned and they even finished a day early. There was plenty of choice in the showroom to help you plan your ideas and all our questions before and during the installation were answered.

Regal completed two bathrooms for us, the second one, an en-suite was completed in our absence. We were a little disappointed in the finish of the second bathroom in particular. Ultimately we got the impression that they’re all very busy and it’s unfortunately more about speed than the quality of the work. We were left with a wall hung cabinet that isn’t straight, gluey bootprints on the new flooring and our bedroom floor and some damage to our bedroom ceiling, presumably through being caught by the shower cabinet prior to installation. I don’t think we would have heard from the project manager had we not contacted him. They did return to sort some very frustrating issues with the wall mirrors and also to quickly add some caulking to the ceiling / wall tiled border which hadn’t been done. In addition, the actual fitters and timing of the work were changed at a week’s notice which was an inconvenience to us. In short, whilst not a complete disaster, we couldn’t recommend Regal.

I am highly delighted with my new bathroom. Service from first visit to showroom was excellent. Excellency continued throughout from day one when fitters arrived, there was no question too many. They were more than helpful and extremely tidy. I am now planning my bedroom work with them and would not think of using anybody else but Regal.

This was the third job that Regal Interiors have done for us over recent years and, as with the first two, this latest job was well organised and carried out to a very high standard. From the initial estimate, which involved some discussion on our part, to arranging when it should be done right through to the job being completed, the customer service and the professionalism shown was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Regal for further bathroom/bedroom jobs.

Friendly and efficient service from start to finish, ending up with a top quality bathroom. Very impressed with quality of workmanship, tidiness and timeliness. Well done and thanks to all involved at Regal.

Supply and fitting of bathroom and cloakroom. This is a quality service - I am pleased with the result. The fitter was pleasant and explained things to me when I asked and cleared the house up excellently at the end of the job. On the downside I felt employees may be overworked, even at the showroom, and annoyingly, my invoice was sent to my neighbours house- and there is a now possibility more of my neighbours know how much I paid for my bathroom. Overall though, I would recommend this company

We had 2 wardrobes supplied and fitted by Regal. The price was competitive, delivery good and Andy the fitter did a superb job. We would have no hesitation in recommending Regal

The old bathroom, needed a full rip out, before anything could be done. including a new window. This was done with the minimum of fuss. Richard made use of all the space in my small compact bathroom but it does not look cluttered it looks streamline and cosy, he helped us pick out a very lovely bathroom. Scott the fitter was marvellous he worked very hard, he is a perfectionist so every little detail was gone over with a fine tooth-comb, if something was not finished at knocking off time he would stay until it was done. The whole experience from walking into the showroom to the final touches was so smooth, I could not believe it, they started on the day they said and finished on the day said, with minimal disruption.

I would recommend this company for the excellent service we received creating a wonderful bathroom. The sales team were helpful and gave excellent design advice. The fitters were professional and very considerate and gave more than 100%, we could not have asked for more, they are a credit to the Company. We wish the Company all the success it deserves. Thank You

This is the third time we have used Regal Interiors to fit a new bathroom, the first time being 14 years ago. The design advice is excellent and there is a good array of displays in the showroom to help with ideas. The fitters do an outstanding job and a couple of very minor issues were resolved promptly. The site was always kept clean and tidy with carpet protectors etc. I would definitely recommend Regal Interiors.

After receiving good reports from different sources I approached Regal Interiors to totally refurbish my newly purchased house from top to bottom as it had previously been rented out for years, and was in dire need of upgrading. I was well impressed with their showroom and the number and variety of room designs on display, also the professional and knowledgeable advice and recommendations given in order to meet with my varied requirements, especially as some structural alterations would be needed. The subsequent costings were meticulously detailed and easy to understand. It was a complex job but extremely well managed and expertly completed by all involved. The fixtures, fittings and appliances supplied are of the highest quality and have proved to be excellent value for money, as has the whole project. Also the provision of a committed after sales service is reassuring and just one of the many benefits of dealing with a well established and reputable local firm.

Regal Interiors have now installed new bathroom, shower room, downstairs toilet and kitchen. Every job has been carried out to an exemplary standard by competent, efficient and friendly staff. I would recommend them to anyone - and indeed have done so.
