essex groundsmen ltd in Colchester, Essex

Top company, have used a couple of times and never had a issue and always on time which makes a change from other companies used!

What an awful experience. Smoky, uncomfortable taxis but the worst points were 1. They didn't turn up when booked in advance- we called and they came late but we were then late for our appointment 2. They charged us nearly double the price quoted on the phone and were completely lacking in concern when we dared to argue about the price. Never again - there are many other good taxi companies around the area

First time trying to use this company and I won't bother again. I called about 1.5 hours before I needed a pick up from our local station and they asked me to pay in advance which I was happy to do but when we got off the train at our local station the taxi wasn't there. I called and was informed that they had just finished a job but were still 15-20 mins away. The walk home takes about the same time so my husband and i just walked home in the pitch black. Rather infuriatingly, I was told I couldn't have a refund straight away and that I would need to call on the next working day to arrange this. Not happy as I paid in advance in good faith so I feel like I have been ripped off.

They are brilliant, timing, car and service quality are 5 star. Our driver Tony, was very polite and he has comfortable driving skill. Thanks for tonight.

No cab company is perfect, but they are I suppose better than walking. Especially when its raining. Or snowing. Or in a blizzard. Or something like that. Actually, or even when its too hot. They have air-con in most of their motors. Yeah OK, that ain't much use in a blizzard. But it is when its hot. Like it was a couple of weeks back. All sorts of drivers though. Some are stupid, some are OK. I spose much like any other cab company. But, unlike the previous review, I would use them again, but I wont recommend them to anyone, as if I do, they might get too busy and I might not get a cab myself.

i needed an up and over garage door repair. Excellent service and operatives who really knew what to do and executed the repairs and other work needed very impressively. They had all the right spare parts with them and extras just in case. All done quickly and to a good budget. Chris Collins

Had wanted to change our old garage door to an electric one for some time, Essex garage doors had a great selection and were in budget. Job was done on time and all cleared away. Would highly recommend.

We actually initially used Essex Garage Doors 30 years ago, they did a great job then and still do now, they are very professional, all the paperwork is in order, they turned up when they said they would and they have done a superb job, we are very pleased and have no complaints whatsoever. We would absolutely recommend them to others.

I have 2 existing garage doors however it was a tight squeeze to get in, so I Googled for a garage door company and chose Essex Garage Doors Ltd, Witham as they were very local to me. They were very knowledgeable and advised me not to just buy the most expensive door, which was sound advice. The work needed for a wall to be removed and they recommended a builder who carried out the work at the beginning of this week, once that was done Essex Garage Doors came in and replaced the 2 doors in around 3 hours. I'm really happy with the work so would recommend them and use again if needed in the future.

We used Essex Garage Doors Ltd to install a new garage door for us and the installation of the door was excellent the staff that came to do the fitting wee phenomenal, they were very courteous and talked us through every step as the building the garage door was going on to was an old building so it wasn't a simple door to fit in. We were extremely happy with the outcome if there was one negative about the service it was the sales process itself, I found it rather slow and all the information given wasn't entirely clear, despite this, I would highly recommend the company.
