John - RES (Renewable Energy Solutions)
We have been using Countrywide Grounds for a number of years and have been beyond reliable and exceptionally good value for money. They take the time to ensure all our sites are looking neat and tidy and will quite often work around our schedules with little or no notice. They provide exemplary customer service and will always go out of their way to get the job done.
Lakis - College of Northwest London (Wembley and Willesden):
Thank you for infilling the soil to level out the grassed areas. The paths looked absolutely amazing and the fact that you have used the additional soil on other areas is very much appreciated. I am very impressed with the work the company has s far undertaken, not only the soil infill, but the moss removal around the school has made such an improved difference.
Susan Else - School Business Manager at Scargill Primary School
The team did an amazing job. They were mindful, polite and worked really hard. The staff are so pleased and we now feel the children and families can go out safely. We weren't expecting you to do the nursery garden too so that was a nice surprise! Thank you so much from all the staff and families that use Sinfin Children's Centre.
Sarah Goodman - Service Manager at Sinfin Children's Centre
I just wanted to express my thanks to Countrywide for carrying out the maintenance of the reed bed and cleaning of the the pathways at our Bridgend Adoption Centre. The works were completed to a high standard at no cost for Cats Protection, and this helps massively as we are a charity organisation where every penny counts.
Steve Cullis - Surveyor at Cats Protection
We have been using Countrywide for the past five years to maintain our grounds and have always been completely satisfied. They do an excellent job, are always punctual, paperwork is always in order, with RAMS, DBS and insurance certificates always supplied. We have also hired them on occasions for extra jobs, including landscaping projects, supplying and installing a Polytunnel, and creating playground markings. They have been very reasonably priced and have done exactly what we’ve asked of them. I am happy to recommend the services of Countrywide Grounds Maintenance.
Daniel Salmon - Site Manager at Welland Academy
I am the Site Manager for Southfields Primary School based in Peterborough, we are a local authority school and we have been using Countrywide as our ground’s maintenance contractor for a number of years. We are really pleased with how punctual and professional the staff are and their work is of a very high standard, nothing is ever too much trouble especially if there are any last-minute emergency jobs and they have always helped us whenever we have asked, they have made a huge difference to our school site and we get many positive comments from parents and visitors about how neat and tidy our school is. I would definitely recommend Countrywide for their services and we look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.
Wayne Eddings - Site Manager at Southfields Primary School
We are delighted with the transformation of our outdoor space - it has created a space our staff can now relax and enjoy in, away from the working environment. There’s no denying that spending time outdoors has positive benefits to mental, physical, and social well-being, so we know that this will make such a difference. We are incredibly grateful to the team at Countrywide for their hard work in making this happen in such a short space of time and for their free services.
Lorraine Douglas - Facilities Services Manager at NHS Property Services Ltd
We have been using Countrywide for a number of years for our grounds maintenance. They are professional, provide an outstanding service, and are always available for advice and ad hoc services. They have recently undertaken a major outdoor project for ourselves, creating a bespoke outdoor classroom with raised seating. The work was completed during term time, and they have been excellent in working around the children and staff. They maintain high standards at all times, and we have recommended them to other local schools.
