Positive:Professionalism
We had a boiler put in our house, and the work was done to the highest standard and the team were so friendly and professional. We've just had the boiler serviced and are extremely happy and would highly recommend Ryan and SOS Heating.

Report
We had SOS heating to replace my oil boiler and install a much larger boiler and hot water tank in the loft. The team of Carl and Josh were outstanding, working the minute they set foot in the house. I have never had workmen in who were so tidy, efficient and cleaned up after themselves! Exceptional service!

Excellent company. I have used SOS for a wide range of annual services on oil central heating boilers at three different properties, to service a modern oil fired Rayburn, to repair a faulty boiler and most recently to install a Hive smart thermostat.
Reliable, professional, fair prices and likeable staff.
