Barry serviced our gas fire. He was on time, friendly and gave helpful advice. The fire now works well and looks smart again. Everything was left clean. He was very easy to be in touch with through the Checkatrade app. The price for the job was fair and as agreed. We would not hesitate to use Barry again.Verified reviewerJob location: BR1 - JJohn B
