Very helpful and kind workman. As a single parent living with two little ones the worker made me feel at complete ease. Didn’t feel like he was out to get money and actually gave me advice that would’ve saved me from paying out even more for other repairs. Would recommend to allVerified reviewerJob location: SS15- JJB

Unable to cancel the child lock on my washer dryer in spite of reading manual, watching YouTube etc. Engineer said he was in area, that his call out fee was normally £60 but that it would be £30 if a quick fix was possible. Also said he could get replacement circuit board next day if necessary. On my doorstep in 10 minutes and quick fix (pressing different button) cured problemVerified reviewerJob location: SS1610 First Line Repairs - recommended

I called for help as Yon previously fixed our dishwasher. He came round the following morning, diagnosed the issue, ordered the part and fitted it as soon as it arrived. It’s working brilliantly ! Thank youVerified reviewerJob location: SS1
