Testimonials
“We have been extremely happy with the relationship with Miles Water, and cannot fault the engagement, customer focus, and working with the client to achieve the best outcome. We can’t wait to watch the fishery develop over the coming years.”
“Miles Water showed an impressive level of competence and ability, from the day we met them, through to the completion of our new lake at RHS Garden Wisley. None of the RHS team had created a lake of the scale we were planning, and the guidance, support and easy-to-work-with approach from Roger and his team were much appreciated. We have a new feature that supports our sustainability strategy, but also looks great in the landscape and we are most grateful to Miles Water for this wonderful result.”
“Miles Water have delivered three separate projects to create a new lake, stream and sustainable drainage scheme for RHS Garden Bridgewater. They kept the sites clean and tidy respecting the surrounding landscape and ecology. Changes were necessary and these were dealt with proactively adding constructive and cost effective solutions in some difficult ground conditions. We are really pleased with the end product and hope to work with them again in the future.”
“Miles Water Engineering has done a very good job on site, keeping it neat and tidy, making timely progress and being very pro-active in dealing with issues. The quality of the finished work is of an excellent standard.”
“Just a short note to thank you and Rowan in particular, for building such a magnificent lake at the Chapel Barn Estate, Wilderness Reserve – we love it and so do our clients…..”
“We have worked with Miles Water Engineering on a variety of projects in the public realm and have always been incredibly pleased with the end result as well as the professional and reliable service provided throughout the works from the whole team.”
