    Quick, efficient and very reasonably priced heating engineer!

    Posted 09 January

    My boiler started to lose pressure and had to be topped up with increasing frequency. I got Tom Burnside's name from Checkatrade and he came to look at the job the next day. The boiler was leaking from three points. Tom took photos of the parts that needed replacing and explained clearly what needed to be done. He gave me a price and ordered the parts and returned the same day as he collected them. The job, plus a service, was all done in no more than an hour and I am now toastie! Thanks Tom for everything, I'd definitely recommend this company to anyone.
