Philp Clarke – Leicester City council building inspector

I first used Chris and his company many years ago on the restoration of Leicester station clock tower and general station frontage. Their work was of a very high quality, cleaning and rebuilding handmade terracotta blocks and ornate sections, resulting in Railway Heritage award nominations. Since this job they have gone on to work on numerous rail buildings and platforms, producing the highest quality of work. I can honestly say that they are the best in the country at what they do, and it is always a pleasure to work with them.
