Report
Superb service. Had a new boiler fitted after my old one gave up the ghost and these guys surpassed my expectations with how they handled everything from fitting, cleaning up after the job and subsequent contact with their office for after-sales queries. I found their service to be quick, efficient and courteous. On the strength of this experience I will now use their services in the future without hesitation. Highly recommended.
