Client Comments
“We are very satisfied with the results of the completed
works and consider Anamore Limited were instrumental in the successful project
delivery. They undertook the removal of copper cladding and unsafe materials in
the built-up system, replacing them with compliant and aesthetically pleasing
alternatives. The transformation of the building’s previously tired external
envelope into a vibrant, compliant façade was remarkable. From the outset, the
team was incredibly helpful and proactive, identifying potential issues early
and addressing them promptly. Their communication was excellent, keeping both
the client and residents well-informed throughout the project.” Dan Hyde, Black
