Report
Contacted this firm to arrange a quote to replace/repair wooden fascia boards and guttering. Two men attended to assess the job. One of them even tried to get me to buy a new gas boiler. Almost THREE WEEKS LATER with no sign of a quote I telephoned their office. The lady I spoke to said the two men were not yet in at work but she would speak to them when they arrived and get back to me. Still waiting on a reply. Must be a VERY busy company if they can afford to treat potential clients like this. Guess who I wont be contacting when the boiler needs replacing. One star because they did turn up initially

Report
We have used Aird for a couple of heating emergencies over the past few years and have found them to be extremely helpful, especially since this is for a property which we rent out and we are not always on hand. Prompt, arrived when stated, and efficient service, with offers of electric heaters when we had to wait a day or two for parts. We have had no issues and wouldnt hesitate to use this company again.

Do NOT use for heating or boiler issues!
Came out to inspect our boiler which had an intermittent fault but he couldn't work out what was wrong.
Asked for the manual (always a bad sign..) and left shortly afterwards leaving muddy footprints behind, agreeing they would call the manufacturer to discuss. He came back and ran the boiler and again couldn't work out what was wrong. So we now still have the same intermittent fault and a bill for 108 for essentially no value whatsoever. Will now call a proper heating engineer (which admittedly I should have done in the first place).
