"The Howe Green access covers were ideal. We were able to achieve the appearance of a completely continuous floor, despite there being a huge network of mechanical and electrical chambers underneath it.
The people at Howe Green were very responsive, easy to deal with and a high quality solution was supplied. We were very pleased with the end result."
