The client is delighted with the way you handled the project and the end result. I know that he has already passed on your details to someone else who has had difficulties with London fit outs, so hopefully, there will be more of the same in the pipeline for you. From the experience I had CID, I am more than happy to make the recommendation, and will continue to do so for you when I am in a position so to do.

I’ve only had positive comments about the work carried out by CID Spaces. Our MD was very impressed with the work. He said he didn’t notice anything until this morning which proves it was a neat and tidy job!

CID Spaces recently completed a refurbishment of our at our offices. The workmen were tidy and cordoned off the refurbishment area well which was important as the work was carried our during office hours. The project was finished on schedule and within budget, and I am very pleased with the quality of the work. All the team there are extremely pleasant to work with and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
