I was going to use this business to install a fire, but reading the reviews changed my mind. They seem to have an excuse for their appalling service every time blaming everyone else apart from themselves. You would be better avoiding the business to save yourself a headache and money.

Unfortunately they never returned my call regarding a fireplace job, I know they are busy, however the customer service was disappointing,

What is wrong with this company? Last year I had tremendous trouble getting hold of BFS heating because I had something wrong with my new gas fire that they installed. I only got a reply after I posted a bad review!
BFS posted a reply to my review with excuses as to why they hadnt replied to my emails or phone calls and promised me a free maintenance service this year, as they didnt contact me I telephoned and was promised a return call to arrange a visit. That was over 3 weeks ago and still no reply to my phone calls, messages or emails.
Ive now given up and will have to go elsewhere

I absolutely love our new gas Stovax fire. BFS were very helpful in helping me choose the fire. The men that came to install the fire were polite and also very helpful, re lighting the AGA and generally giving advise. I have had a few questions about the fire since its installation and my emails have been answered promptly and positively. I love sitting in front of the fire reading, its heaven. I have every faith that I am now a valued customer and will be looked after in the future too.
