At Lindley Electrical we have had the pleasure of contracting to Bricknells Rentals for the past few years. During this time we have been extremely impressed by their professionalism, proficiency and customer/contractor relations. We have been so impressed we have suggested to other landlords they move their properties over to Bricknells which they have done and with which they are extremely pleased with the service provided. Many thanks to Chris, Kelly and the rest of the team.
