What Our Customers Say About Us

We have been using the services of James Callaghan Sons & Co Ltd for over 20 years now and they have completed dozens of projects for us. Their projects are always delivered professionally, on time, within budget and to a very high standard. Once the project is appointed, they take care of everything including health and safety, site organisation, plant, material deliveries and programme. We worked with Matt for several years, and mainly work with John now, and we always receive a consistently excellent service from John and his team.

Calco did a fantastic job on our driveway. Great communication with the professional office staff from the start and during the works. The lads on site were friendly and approachable and I would highly recommend.

Malcolm Courtney

Estates Quality Manager, WWL NHS Foundation Trust
May I take this opportunity to commend your team, we have been impressed by their speed of progress and their work ethic is a lesson to many.

I have taken the opportunity over the last few weeks to solicit feedback on CALCO from a variety of departments on site and everyone without exception has been complimentary.

Please thank all those involved on our behalf

Steve Williams

Engineering Manager, Stepan UK
I just wanted to pass on to you how happy we are with the job that Tommy and the boys have done. I know the uneven heights of the ponds and the timescale was problematic, but the finish that we’ve ended up with is I think really exceptional. So nice to see people really taking pride in what they are doing.

Stewart Plaistow

Senior Lecturer in Evolutionary Biology, Institute of Integrative Biology, The University of Liverpool,
The work Calco has carried out for the trust has always been first class I would recommend you to any future clients
