R. J Meek Construction
Massive thanks to Russell at R.J. Meek Construction for the donation of his time, skills and good humour in getting the public toilets at the Ardagh refurbished and open again for use by all.
Russell donated his time to re- batten, felt and tile the roof of the toilets, he did the plastering (walls and ceilings), tiling and carpentry work.
FOHC are very happy to recommend him for jobs in the local area - please give him a call if you have any work that you need done & pop in to the Ardagh to have a look at the quality of work for yourself!
