To Whom It May Concern:
As a Facilities Manager at the Department of Veterinary Medicine in
Cambridge, I have used Able Construction many times over the years for
various refurbishments in and around the Department.
I am more than happy to recommend Carry Heslop and his team, for any
maintenance / refurbishment works that may be required.His team have
always provided a professional and timely service to very good standards
Best Wishes
Paul Grainge
Laboratory & Facilities Manager
Cambridge Display Technology Limited
To whom it may concern,
Able Construction has worked with Cambridge Display Technology Ltd
for at least the last five years. The main work undertaken has been
small works maintenance but we have also engaged them in larger
refurbishment projects of offices and laboratories. Their work is of a
good standard and carried out in a timely manner. They work
co-operatively
and are responsive to issues and concerns which might occasionally
arise.
I am delighted to provide a
reference for Gary Heslop and his team from Able Construction. Plastic Logic Limited is a spinout from Sir Richard Friend’s and Prof
Henning Sirringhaus’ activities in printed electronics at the Cavendish
Laboratory. We now operate from 10,000 sq ft premises on the Cambridge
Science comprising clean room, laboratories and offices. Our premises were originally built in the early 1980s and required
substantial refurbishment before we could move in. We used Able
Construction initially in 2001 when we first occupied part of our
current premises. They stripped out the building, did much of the office
work and collaborated closely with our specialist clean room contractor.
When we expanded at the end of 2002, we used Able Construction again for
a similar range of tasks. These were both important projects for Plastic Logic. We were very
pleased with the timeliness, quality and value for money with which the
jobs were completed. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Gary again.

Able Construction have been on the ‘Preferred Contractors List’ of the
University’s Estate
Management and Building Service since they were established 4 years ago. From the date
that
Able began trading in January 2000, they have provided a highly reliable
and economic
service. They operate under a permanent contract to provide the response
maintenance to the
University’s small portfolio of residential properties.
Throughout Able’s employment they have demonstrated a positive approach
to their work, ably supporting our Area Surveyors in dealing with the
User Departments. They are punctual, reliable, and giving good attention
to health and safety issues, and there are no disciplinary issues.
I trust the foregoing is satisfactory for the purposes you have asked of
me, but should you require any further information please do not
hesitate to contact me at the address given above.
Yours faithfully

Dear Garry
Refurbishment l redecoration at 3 Wordsworth Grove
Many thanks to you and your team for completing this project on time and
to your normal high
standards. Although it was pretty hectic (especially for Brenda) it
was clearly best to get the work done as quickly as possible. Jack and
Margaret will move in over Easter and I think will be well pleased by
their new accommodations.
I now enclose a cheque by way of payment for the work. With every good
wish, I remain
Yours sincerely

I am very pleased to supply you with a written reference with regard to
the successful kitchen refurbishment programme carried out by your firm
over the Christmas holiday period 2005.
This was a major project carried out of term time to budget and to a
very high standard. It was necessary to complete the removal of the old
fittings and installation of the new kitchen units, plumbing, electrics,
etc, within a strict time scale over the holiday period in order to
avoid minimum disruption to the workings of the Centre.
The Director and Management Committee of the Lauterpacht Centre are
delighted with the result.
Yours sincerely

Subject: Able Construction
Able Construction have come out a number of contracts for me including
interior decoration and building work, but in particular the complete
replacement of a central heating system. This involved installing 17
radiators and replacing all pipe work and in addition a new boiler. The
work was undertaken during the winter and could not have been completed
more quickly or with greater efficiency. Disruption was kept to a minimum
and on completion the house was thoroughly cleaned. Throughout the
installation was kept fully informed as to how the contract was
progressing.
Garry Heslop visits the site at least once a day and his staff are
punctual pleasant and above all reliable. in my experience Able
Construction always meets the schedule for completion am very satisfied
with their work and fully expect to employ them again I can recommend
Able Construction without reservation and with complete confidence.
