    Excellent. Thoroughly recommend.

    Posted 17 June

    I have used Andrew before and have recently used him again to do a boiler service and gas certificate for me. He is excellent. Andrew arrived on time, was very polite and helpful, and worked tidily and efficiently. He explained what needed to be done and also advised me about my hob. I thoroughly recommend him and will definitely use him again in the future.
