We begin with a consultation in your own home. If you live within a 30 mile radius of our home base of Alyth we can offer this for FREE. If you live further away we will offer a free introductory phone or video conversation via Skype, following which we can arrange a full consultation visit for which we would charge a modest fee to cover the cost of extra fuel and travel time.

To discuss how we might help you call 07840 544420 or visit our website to email us.
