TESTIMONIALS

St Luke, Garford

We wanted to thank you and Whites for the beautiful restoration of our bell. The bell is ringing beautifully and with ease, such a change from before. 

St Philip & St James, Hallow

Your staff are great ambassadors for your company and a pleasure to work with. 

Richard Loyd, North Moreton

​I want to express our sincere gratitude to you for a job extremely well done.

 

On hearing the 8 bells for the first time yesterday, we were all thrilled beyond measure with the results. The bells blend in superbly with the old 6 dating from various times in history from c1350.

 

There was some anticipation about the potential for messing up an already beautiful 6, but we should not have been worried in the slightest. This is all down to the outstanding bell castings by Eijsbouts, and the expert tuning and professional design and hanging by Whites. There is no doubt that this is a truly winning partnership!

We are now excitedly looking forward to ringing for the Coronation celebration on Saturday.

Our ringing and village communities will cherish your workmanship now, and for centuries to come. We believe that this project involved every single member of the Whites team in some way, so please forward this communication and thanks to them all.

Francis Mitchell, Netley

"[The local band] are proud of this rehang and so should be the Whites’ professionals. They have all been “good blokes” showing their skill, dedication and meticulous attention to detail in difficult, cramped and very cold conditions. We chose Whites to do this job partly because of an excellent reputation. We now know how that reputation has been earned and kept."

Cliff Davies, Hughendon

"[We] were present during the visit and were highly impressed with the meticulous way James and John carried out the work. I'm sure there were nuts and bolts in our installation that were checked and tightened for the first time since 1952 when the bells were installed!
"I'm very grateful to James for explaining in detail the work they were carrying out, and also giving me tips which will be very helpful in the future. I learned a lot. We're very grateful to you for giving us your excellent service."

Martin Barnes, Belfry Stewardship Committee

"I had to inspect the work carried out at Netley so the grant from the Guild could be paid out. My colleague and I were very impressed with the quality of the work we saw and I just wanted to say just that and well done. It really is a lovely job."

John Coppendale, Little Shelford

"Thank you very much from [me] for our excellent new clapper...  We fitted it this morning and now have a full working set of six bells again. We were very impressed with how quickly you turned round our order and we would have no hesitation in coming back to Whites for any future requirements."

Jerry Houdret, Farnham Royal Church

​"What a wonderful, helpful and efficient team you have. From Mark Walker setting the repair up, to the actual team doing the repair, the service was exceptional. I’d just like to thank James for dealing with my questions in a relaxed and comprehensive manner.
As one who has owned and run customer facing businesses, it is great to see integrity and efficiency still wins and exists."

East Garston

"You gave us a price to do the job and when the final invoice was paid it was exactly what you quoted. No hidden extras"
