    Outstanding gas cooker installation - above and beyond service

    Posted 5 days ago

    After our usual Isle of Wight company couldn't install our gas cooker , we found Adam Yates, and couldn't be more impressed. Despite very short notice and the challenge of travelling from the mainland, he arrived the next day. His installation was exceptionally thorough, professional and safe. Adam was friendly, reliable and a pleasure to deal with. Outstanding service - highly recommended.

    Fantastic!

    Posted 26 January

    Great and highly professional service throughout. Worked in a children’s home and were excellent with the young people, demonstrating patience, respect, and a clear understanding of the environment they were working in. Their approach was calm, appropriate, and reassuring, which made a real difference. All works were carried out efficiently, with minimal disruption, and to a high standard. Communication was clear from start to end, and they were organised, reliable, and respectful of both staff and young people. I would not hesitate to recommend their services and would happily us them again.

    Water Softener Installation

    Posted 26 October 2025

    We had a water softener fitted by Adam and were very pleased with the installation. Adam arrived on the agreed day and time and did a superb job and cleared up behind him. We would highly recommend him and will certainly be using him again for our plumbing and heating requirements. For anyone living in a hard water area the water softener is a great solution.
