Report
Firstly, I dont normally write Google reviews. For the most part I believe that many are either misrepresentations from a competitor or someone being paid to write a review. But what I can tell you about the service I received in having my building raised and relevelled is factual and represents the excellent service and team effort by Drummond House Movers to raise and re-level a complicated building with very heavy machinery. Two thumbs up to the Drummond team for the fast and efficient lift.
