Simcott renewables were a pleasure to deal with from the first contact. Unlike other suppliers, they did a complementary site visit and suggested a couple of options for our specific situation. They sent through a plan of works and delivered the project seamlessly. We had several unforeseeable issues, these were discussed and overcome easily. I will use the company again and highly recommend them
