    Consumer unit replacement and other minor works

    Posted 19 January

    Really happy with the service, I asked them to do extra works after first visit. Included: EICR, old fuse box replacement for a modern consumer unit, fixing a fault in a ring circuit, installing extra socket outlets and replacing bathroom extractor fan ducting connecting to soffit. All work neatly finished, tested and certified. Would recommend.

    Immersion heater not heating water properly

    Posted 07 January

    James has been absolutely amazing. He came over to look at our immersion heater because we never had enough hot water. After having a look, he found multiple issues which he fixed and gave us an in-depth explanation of what he’s done and what we needed to do. Also turns out we have been overcharged on our electric by a huge amount because of the issues. James advised us on what steps to take to resolve this with the energy supplier and didn’t charge us an extortionate amount! 10/10 would recommend to anyone! He really went out of his way and was very informative

Thank you for the recommendation, and do not hesitate to get in touch if you need anything in future.
